Our Police Family

Who we support

NSW Police Legacy was founded by police, for police. We are the Police Force Charity. We were historically established to support the widows, widowers and dependent children of deceased NSW Police – our Police Legatees.

Today, we care for the many members of the police family including our police legatees, the parents of deceased police, serving and retired police and their families facing necessitous circumstances, and former police and their families as they transition from a career in policing to civilian life.

We honour the history and proud traditions of the NSW Police Force and embrace the camaraderie and unique bond shared across the police family. We take pride in providing compassionate, continuous and long term support in the best interests of those who have been entrusted into our care.

Our values: 

RESPECT: We honour the proud tradition of policing and the police family, in particular those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. 

COMPASSION: We take pride in providing compassionate, continuous and long-term support to the people in our care. 

FAMILY: We embrace the camaraderie and unique bond shared across the police family.
