Background of Police Memorial Day ‘Police Memorial Day’ is celebrated every year on 21st October to remember the martyrdom of those brave policemen who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The day began with the incident of 21 October 1958, when three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officers were detained by Chinese soldiers on the Indo-Tibetan border.

The next day, during their search, a CRPF patrolling team was suddenly attacked by Chinese soldiers, in which 10 CRPF soldiers were martyred. The decision to observe ‘Police Memorial Day’ to commemorate this incident was taken in a meeting held with the DGPs of all states and union territories in 1960.
