Welcome to the Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross Foundation web site.
The Foundation was created by virtue of Section 70 of the Police (NI) Act 2000 for the purpose of "marking the sacrifices and honouring the achievements of the Royal Ulster Constabulary". It commenced work in December 2001.
The functions of the Foundation allow it to look back on a long, proud history of policing and to look forward by supporting current serving officers. In particular, it will remember sacrifice and service and preserve the name of the RUC GC in the policing world.

In April 2002 the Foundation was privileged and pleased to announce that HRH The Prince of Wales had agreed to become it's Patron.
Chairman of the Foundation, Mr Jim McDonald believed that the news would help bring comfort to former RUC officers, injured and disabled members and bereaved relatives.
He said "It is a tremendous tribute to all the police family in Northern Ireland. I am delighted The Prince of Wales has agreed to maintain a Royal link to the Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross Foundation."
