It's been 12 months since beloved police officer Keith Smith was fatally shot in the line of duty but stories about his dedication and compassion are still being told.
Family, friends, colleagues and the community gathered at Ulverstone on Tasmania's northwest coast on Tuesday to remember the constable.
The 57-year-old was serving a repossession notice at a rural property on June 16, 2025 when he was murdered by homeowner Leigh Geoffrey Sushames.
"For many of us, time has not softened that loss," Tasmania Police Commissioner Donna Adams told the service.
"Keith was not just a colleague. He was steady, kind and quietly impactful in the lives of so many.
"Over the past 12 months I have heard countless stories about Keith. He didn't just do his job, he took extra time to listen … and make people feel seen."
