Devon and Cornwall Police is supporting the nationwide UK Police Memorial fund-raising campaign, launched yesterday.

The campaign will raise funds to build a new memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

The memorial will be inscribed with the names of more than 1,400 police officers and staff who have died from injuries they sustained while carrying out their duties.

Fund-raising has already taken place for a permanent memorial with over £2.5m of a £4m target being raised so far.
