Last night, our community was shaken by the heartbreaking news that two Victoria Police officers lost their lives in the line of duty. At FRS Security, we pause to reflect on this tragedy and extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the fallen officers.

Every day, police officers and security professionals put themselves in harm’s way to protect our communities. Their commitment to public safety often goes unseen, but moments like this remind us all of the profound risks they face. The sacrifice made by these officers is a stark reminder of the challenges inherent in our industry and the courage required to serve.

As a company built on integrity, safety, and commitment, we feel a deep kinship with law enforcement. Our teams work closely with police and emergency services across Victoria and beyond. We understand the pressures and the unpredictability of the work. When tragedy strikes, it is felt not just by the police force, but by every professional dedicated to keeping others safe.

The loss of these officers is felt across the entire state. Their absence leaves a void not only in their families and units but in the broader community they served so faithfully. It is a sobering moment for all of us who work in security and public safety.

“At Force Response Security, we know that the safety of our communities relies on the bravery and dedication of police officers and security professionals alike. The loss of two Victoria Police officers is a tragedy that touches us all deeply. On behalf of our entire team, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the fallen officers.

Their courage and service will not be forgotten. We honour their memory by reaffirming our commitment to supporting law enforcement and upholding the highest standards of professionalism and care in our own work.

Let us stand together in this difficult time, supporting each other and remembering the ultimate sacrifice made by these officers to keep us all safe.”
