Unveiling of the Tasmania Police Overseas Service Honour Board
On 19 April 2023, the Tasmania Police Commissioner Donna Adams PSM APM unveiled an honour board at the Tasmania Police Academy at Rokeby dedicated to the Tasmania Police who have served overseas on United Nations and Australian Government mandated peacekeeping and capacity building missions since 1964. Over that time, Tasmanian police officers have been deployed to Cyprus, East Timor/Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Its erection has been possible through a "Saluting Their Service" commemorative grant funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Pictured are Commissioner Adams and Bevan Howell (one of the first two Tasmania Police deployed overseas in 1964).
