Kingaroy Police Station has invited members of the public to attend a short vigil on Monday for murdered police officers Constable Matthew Arnold and Constable Rachel McCrow.
The two officers were killed in the line of service on December 12.
Constables Arnold and McCrow, from Tara police station, were shot dead when they made a “routine” missing persons inquiry at a property in Wains Road at Wieambilla on Monday afternoon.
Two Chinchilla police officers, Constable Randall Kirk and Constable Keeley Brough, managed to escape, although Constable Kirk was wounded.
A neighbour, Alan Dare, was shot dead when he came to investigate a fire, apparently set to flush out Constable Brough.
A short service will be held at the Kingaroy Police Station flagpole from 10:00am, followed by a minute’s silence.
Everyone who wishes to pay their respects have been invited to join police in commemorating the fallen officers.
