The Prince of Wales is set to attend an event to honour police officers who were killed while on duty.
Home Secretary Theresa May is also expected to attend the National Police Memorial Day event, to be held at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.
The prince, who is patron of a service which moves around the UK, attended last year's event in Cardiff.
Sgt Joe Holness, who founded the commemoration, said it was a special day to remember those that have died.
"It is a day that is as profound now as it was 11 years ago when this event first started," he said.
"It brings together police forces, officers, colleagues, friends and family from across the country to remember and give recognition to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting us."
The event was inaugurated by Sgt Holness after his colleague was killed on duty.
'Poignant day'The inaugural service was held at St Paul's Cathedral on Sunday October 3 2004.
"Police officers go to work every day knowing that they could find themselves in danger, and sometimes they risk their very lives as they protect the public," said Mrs May.
"We owe a debt of gratitude to officers across the country who show bravery as a matter of course and in many cases while they are off duty."
Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said it was a poignant and significant day for the policing family as officers throughout the UK gather to pay tribute to fallen colleagues.
"Their dedication to duty and self-sacrifice will never be forgotten," he said.
Services have been held all over the United Kingdom to reflect the national contribution made by the police, organisers said.
