Light It Up Blue

To commemorate officers who lost their lives while serving in the NT Police Force the NT Police Association pushed for iconic landmarks in Darwin to be lit up blue on September 29. The call came from President Paul McCue at this year’s NTPA annual conference and followed the lead of the WA Police Union who begun the initiative several years earlier. Parliament House in Darwin’s CBD, the Darwin Convention Centre at the Waterfront, the Berrimah Police Headquarters and Palmerston Police Station were lit up in blue along with many other landmarks across the country to commemorate the day. President Paul McCue would like to thank the Commissioner, the Minister, the Shadow Minister and the Speaker for their support in taking up this initiative in what he hopes will become an annual event.
