Tragically Victoria Police lost one of our own yesterday in an apparent suicide.
The VPS member had dedicated a large amount of their working life supporting others within the organisation.
We have lost a much loved member of the policing community.
Out of respect to the member, their family, friends and colleagues, we will not name this member but rest assured, they will be sadly missed.
Rest in forever peace.
