NSW Police Legacy was originally established to care for the widows, widowers, partners and dependent children of deceased NSW police officers.
Today, we care for many members of the wider police family, including our police legatees, the parents of deceased police officers through the parents' support network, special constables, serving and retired police and their families facing necessitous circumstances, and former police and their families as they transition from a career in policing to civilian life through BACKUP for Life.
