Princess Royal pays tribute at the Scottish Police Memorial Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and Chief Constable Sir Stephen House today marked the tenth anniversary of the Scottish Police Memorial and honoured those officers who have died in the line of duty. The Scottish Police Memorial, at Tulliallan Police College, was unveiled by HRH The Princess Royal on 7 September 2004. It carries the names of all 255 Scottish police officers who have died in the line of duty and includes the names of officers dating back to 1812. Names added this year to the Memorial at Tulliallan, Police Scotland’s national headquarters, include four who have died in the last 12 months, Constable Mark Murtagh, Constable Tony Collins, Constable Kirsty Nelis and Captain David Traill. Christine Fulton MBE, Co-Founder of the Scottish Police Memorial Trust, said: “The memorial is a tangible reminder to the families that their loved ones name will never be forgotten and will live on not just for this generation but for every generation to come. We are honoured that HRH, The Princess Royal was able to join us again today, her support for the families and recognition of their loss is much appreciated.” Chief Constable, Sir Stephen House, said: “Police officers are committed to serving their local communities, protecting the public and keeping people safe. The officers we are commemorating today made an important contribution to the communities they served. It is right that we should honour them and that their names be added to the Scottish Police Memorial, a fitting reminder to us all of their contribution to the service and to Scotland. Our thoughts are, as always, with their families and friends.”
