A tight-knit community will gather to mark one year since a beloved veteran police officer was murdered in the line of duty.
Constable Keith Smith was serving a home repossession notice at a property in Tasmania's northwest on June 16, 2025 when he was fatally shot by the homeowner, Leigh Geoffrey Sushames.
The constable, who had served with the force for 25 years, was remembered as kind, caring and always a "good cop".
Tasmania Police will hold a service at Ulverstone on Tuesday to give Const Smith's family and friends, colleagues, first responders and the wider community a chance to come together.
After the event, people can stay for a "cuppa and a chat" in tribute to Const Smith's love of a catch-up.
