Like all Victorians, RSL Victoria is devastated by the deaths of two police officers in Porepunkah today.

Our thoughts are with family, friends and colleagues of all involved.

The RSL’s welfare and support services around Victoria are available to all past and present serving police, many who hold RSL Affiliate memberships through their police service.

Police members and family may contact us for assistance on 1800 MILVET (1800 645 838).

– Dr Mark Schröffel, RSL Victoria President
