At 1.00pm on Thursday the 27 March 1986, a car bomb exploded outside
the police complex in Russell Street Melbourne. As a result, young
Constable Angela Rose Taylor took the full force of the explosion and on
20 April 1986 died in hospital. Angela was committed to helping others

demonstrate those values. The Angela Taylor Memorial Run/Walk continues
to be held in honour of Angela and all Victoria Police members who lost
their lives serving and protecting our community.
