A fallen Hawke's Bay policeman has been remembered at a special service to mark Police Remembrance Day.
As part of Police Remembrance Day, a special wreath was laid at Takapau Cemetery on Saturday to remember Senior Constable Len Snee, who died in the line of duty in 2009.
Senior Constable
Len Snee was shot and killed on May 9, 2009 after trying to execute a search warrant at an address on Chaucer Rd in Napier - in events later known as the Napier Siege.
"Police Remembrance Day is a chance to reflect and honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice of giving their lives to protect their fellow New Zealanders," Police Association President Chris Cahill said.
"It is a reminder of the dangers all police officers face on a daily basis, but a danger they are willing to confront for the safety of our communities."
