Australia was left in shock when two young police officers, Constable Rachel McCrow and Constable Matthew Arnold, lost their lives in the line of duty on a property at Wieambilla, west of Brisbane, on December 12.
Memorials were held across the country, including here in Mackay a week later at the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre.
The service was conducted with the assistance of many throughout the community and Mackay Police recently thanked those who assisted.
“We are very lucky here in the Mackay Whitsunday District to have an astounding amount of support around us from our community,” a statement from myPolice Mackay reads.
“We wanted to give back to those who played a special part in the Memorial of Constable McCrow and Constable Arnold, that was held at the MECC in Mackay.
“Whether it was by donating or assisting with the organisational aspect, we are very grateful for their kindness and support.”
A morning tea was recently held where members of the public received Certificates of Appreciation to thank them for their support.
Certificates of Appreciation were presented to civilians who volunteered and donated for the Memorial of Constable Arnold and Constable McCrow by the Superintendent. Photos supplied
