(This prayer was created in June 1996)

"We stand in your presence, Great Keeper the Peace, to ask for your blessing on New South Wales Police. With strength to share and heart to care, with courage our State we serve.  Guide us and show us the way to your truth with the New South Wales Police".

"For grace, nerve and daring, for insight as well, ask for wisdom in action, good will to do the task. With strength to share and heart to care, with courage our people we serve.  Guide us and show us the way to your truth with the New South Wales Police".

"Although at the front-line of crime and misery. we choose as our base-line to act with integrity. With strength to share and heart to care, with courage our land we serve.  Guide us and show us the way to your truth, the New South Wales Police".

"Our work has its labours that no other calling can know of life and death moments and through these we can grow. With strength to share and heart to care, with courage our God we serve".

"Guide us and show us the way to your truth the New South Wales Police".
