Police Anthem – ‘ Requiescat ‘
The actual bugle call was composed by the Victorian Police Band conductor – Inspector Don Jarrett.
Dennis Williams conducted the NSW Police band from 1988 to 2001.
Dennis set the bugle call to a band arrangement so the recording you just heard is his arrangement.
This Anthem is now being widely used by the NSW Police Force Band and at Police Memorials / Funerals.
It will also be played at the annual Police Remembrance Day service.
It is asked that this Anthem be played at future Police Funerals / Memorials
How do I get a copy of that lovely music?
Hi Rod,
Simply click on the audio clip and right mouse click. You should get a pop up menu on your computer: Save Audio As: Then Save it to your own computer.

Hi Cal,
I am a current member and somewhat current trumpeter. Do you know if the sheet music for the bugle/trumpet line is available anywhere?
Thanks
Hi Dave,
I have just sent a message to a mate who plays in the NSWPF Pipe Band to ask if he knows where it can be found.
Hit me up tomorrow and I will check his response mate.

It appears Dennis Williams former NSW Police band member is the composer.
I googled him and he has entry under Saxton Speakers.
Might be a good starting point to track him down, otherwise search for the sheet music through Google.
Also try contacting the Police Band to see if they can help.
Thanks Cal.
I arranged that call when I conducted the nsw police band.
The arrangement can be had by giving the band conductor a ring.
His name is John Saunders.
Cheers. Dennis Williams
Give the nsw police band a ring
