September 28, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday is National Police Remembrance Day … an opportunity for the community to pause and commemorate fallen police officers throughout Australia.<\/p>\n

South Burnett police hold a special ceremony every year, which rotates between different towns.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the service will be held in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

It will start at 3:00pm in the Uniting Church, corner of Youngman and Alford streets.<\/p>\n

In the Gympie region,\u00a0 the service will be held at 10:00am at St Peter\u2019s Anglican Church, corner of Lady Mary Terrace and Amy Street, Gympie.<\/p>\n

A special ceremony will be held in Longreach on Tuesday to honour a man who worked alongside Queensland police for more than 20 years but whose service has largely been overlooked until now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corporal Sam Johnson, a Bidjara man born in Charleville about 1877, served for 23 years as a police tracker.<\/p>\n

He died at Longreach from influenza in 1919 and is buried in the Longreach Cemetery but does not have a headstone.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Police Union, the Queensland Police Service and the Friends of the Queensland Police Museum have worked to correct this and a headstone and a plaque commemorating his service will be unveiled this week.<\/p>\n

Corporal Johnson was involved in the successful conviction of the infamous Kenniff Brothers bushrangers who murdered Police Constable George Doyle in 1902.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
