NSW Police Pipe Band

Formed in 1946 by Commissioner William John MacKay. A shortage of serving police able to play pipes and drums saw the introduction in 1973 of civilians to the band. The State Government disbanded the unit in 1989. A group of the band's ex members reformed the band in an unofficial capacity for the Anzac Day march in 1990 and 1991. The band has continued on since that time. Not to be confused with the New South Wales Police Band.
