🚔 WA Day might be a public holiday — but crime doesn’t take the day off.
Across Western Australia, police officers will spend the long weekend responding to emergencies, stopping crime, attending incidents and protecting the community.
While many families are enjoying time together, officers will miss moments with their own loved ones to keep WA safe. 💙
Public holidays don’t stop the job.
They don’t stop the risks.
And they don’t stop WA police officers from showing up when the community needs them most.
Take a moment this WA Day to recognise those still serving our state. 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️

If you see a police officer working on WA Day, thank them, high five them, take a selfie and post it on your feed. Don't forget to tag us.

For many West Australians, WA Day is about family, friends and celebrating our great state.
But for thousands of WA Police officers, it’s another day on the job.
While communities come together across WA, police continue responding to emergencies, patrolling our roads, and helping keep everyone safe.
This WA Day, we recognise the officers serving our community across the long weekend — and support fair recognition for the work they do every day. 💙🇦🇺

Engage with a police officer (see below for how) and don't forget to tag us!

Yesterday, the executive team attended Parliament to contest issues that affect, you, our Members.
Thank you for standing with us, Adam.

Estimates is about fighting for Western Australians and holding the Government to account.

Today I was proud to stand alongside the WA Police Union to ask serious questions about the Government’s failures in policing and the pressure being placed on officers across our State.

In 1999, responsibility for court security was transferred from WA Police to the Ministry of Justice for a reason. It allowed police officers to focus on what they are trained to do, protect the community, respond to emergencies, and investigate crime.
Today, regional courts are reportedly facing disruption due to court security shortages, with frontline police again being relied upon to fill the gaps.

WAPU Members are already stretched across regional WA responding to 000 calls and keeping communities safe across enormous distances and demanding workloads.

While police officers and Police Auxiliary Officers continue doing everything they can to support the justice system, court security cannot come at the expense of frontline policing.

The community deserves functioning courts, but they also deserve police officers who are available to respond when urgent help is needed.

On Saturday 16 May, Our WAPU team attended A Walk to Remember alongside Police Legacy and the wider policing community.

The walk is an important chance to come together and remember police officers who have passed away, while recognising the incredible service and sacrifice they gave to the community.

It was a meaningful evening spent reflecting, connecting and honouring those who will always remain part of our police family. 💙

A big thank you to for the amazing work they continue to do supporting police families across WA.

Last night’s Service Recognition Dinner was a special opportunity to come together and celebrate the dedication, commitment and years of service our Members have given to policing and the Western Australian community.

From those marking important career milestones to those who have spent decades serving alongside their colleagues, the evening was a reminder of the professionalism, resilience and camaraderie that exists across our Membership.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the night such a memorable occasion. It was fantastic to see Members, partners and supporters come together to recognise the contribution of those who continue to serve our community with pride.

A sincere thank you also to our valued sponsors, P&N Bank and Slater and Gordon Lawyers, for their ongoing support of our Members and this important event.

To all our recognised Members, congratulations and thank you for your service.
