Today, marks 12months since the passing of former QPU President Ian Leavers.

Ian devoted 35years to policing, & 15years as QPU General President representing those who wear the QLD Police uniform. That commitment and contribution deserves to be remembered.

The thoughts of all serving police and those who have left the QPS are with Ian’s family & those who worked alongside him.

We remember Ian with respect and acknowledge a life that ended far too soon.

On this day, we remember Senior Constable Lyle Hoey, who was killed in the line of duty on 2 November 1975, aged just 36.

In the early hours of that morning, Senior Constable Hoey responded to reports of a stolen vehicle and established a roadblock near Mount Molloy. As he attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver deliberately drove at him, striking him while he stood beside his police vehicle. Despite efforts to save him, Senior Constable Hoey succumbed to his injuries.

A widely respected police officer, Senior Constable Hoey served communities across Queensland throughout his career, including Thursday Island, Gladstone, Emerald and Cairns.

Last night, the national spotlight shone on the extraordinary courage and resilience displayed by Queensland police at Wieambilla in 2022.

Fifty-four Queensland Police Officers were formally recognised as joint recipients of the 2026 National Police Bravery Award for their response to the tragedy.

QPU President Shane Prior said the recognition was a fitting tribute to officers who never sought acknowledgement for their actions but showed initative and courage to protect fellow police and the community.

To all those recognised, and to the families who stood beside them through the aftermath of that tragic day, Queensland thanks you. We are proud of your service, proud of your courage, and proud to stand with you.

54 QLD Police who were part of the Wieambilla ambush and response were recognised as recipients of the 2026 National Police Bravery Award.

The police involved gathered in Toowoomba where the QPU arranged a live link to the Police Federation of Australia Ceremony in Canberra.

Apart from the National Bravery Award, recipients were also presented with inaugural QPU Bravery Medallion by QPU President Shane Prior. This new award is to acknowledge decisions made under pressure and actions taken to save the life of other police and members of the community.

The events at Wieambilla claimed the lives of Constable Rachel McCrow and Constable Matthew Arnold, whose courage, dedication and service will never be forgotten. Their memory remains as a constant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made in the protection of others.

Queensland stands with all QLD Police as the nation recognises their service.
