👮🏽‍♀️🕊✨ IN HONOUR AND REMEMBRANCE ~ SENIOR CONSTABLE KELLY ANN FOSTER VA 👮🏽‍♀️🕊✨

Today, Chifley Police District remembers Senior Constable Kelly Ann Foster VA, who tragically lost her life on 2 January 2021 while courageously attempting to save fellow canyoner Jennifer Qi at Wollangambe Canyon, Mt Wilson.

Kelly’s selfless actions demonstrated exceptional bravery, compassion and dedication to others - values she upheld throughout her service and life. Her commitment to helping others, even at great personal risk, will never be forgotten.

For her heroic actions, Senior Constable Foster was posthumously awarded the Commissioner’s Valour Award.

We extend our thoughts to her family, friends and colleagues as we honour her enduring legacy.

🦋 Rest in Peace. Forever remembered. 🦋
