Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Belinda Cush, 37, walked into the Queensland Police complex in Wecker Rd at Mansfield, picked up her police-issue Glock pistol, fired a shot into a chair and then turned the weapon on herself.

Queensland Police Union president Cameron Pope said she greeted colleagues when she arrived at the Prostitution Enforcement Task force just after 8am but then did not speak to anyone before the shooting.

“There is nothing that we have seen or that I am aware of that could have prevented this incident,” Mr Pope said. “There has not been a single issue raised that I’m aware of that was an indicator to this incident.”

He said her workmates were struggling to cope with the tragedy, the reasons for which remain a mystery.

” Several police were actually there when it happened, ” he said. “Between the service and the union, counselling is being provided to any number of persons who require it and that’ll be monitored closely to make sure that all the officers who’ve suffered from this can get as much treatment as possible. ”

Det Snr-Sgt Cush worked in various ” high-profile areas of the service ” and was very well-respected, he said.

” I spoke to her officer-in-charge this morning and he was very distressed about the matter and he was very glowing in his description and praise of her, ” Mr Pope said.

” She was very highly regarded by members of the service and certainly her superior officers. There were a lot of platitudes coming out for this lady. ”

In addition to the police chaplains, Mr Pope said officers had a number of support services to assist with the daily demands and stresses of police work.

” In every police establishment there is what’s called a peer support officer who police can approach about any issue. There’s also human support officers who check the daily occurrence sheets and follow up officers involved in major incidents and of course there’s the police chaplains who do a wonderful job, ” he said.

In the past 10 years, there have been two other incidents of police officers taking their own lives at work at Ipswich and Smithfield stations.

” It’s not a prevalent problem, thank goodness, ” Mr Pope said.

The Prostitution Enforcement Task force is one of several ” specialised ” units that operates out of the police building in Wecker Road, and it investigates complaints about illegal prostitution.

A QPS spokesperson said the circumstances of Det Snr-Sgt Cush’s death were being investigated, but it was considered non-suspicious. A report will be completed for the coroner

HOGGETT, Geoffrey David

22.02.1940 – 02.04.2020

Formerly of Bondi, Late of Hurstville

Loving Husband, Father, Brother and Pop.

He will be missed by all who knew him.

Forever in our hearts.

Privately cremated.

Geoff‘s recent 80th birthday

It is with the heaviest of hearts we inform of the passing of Geoff Hoggett.

Geoff was an unsung hero of the club, having served on the St George DCC management committee for many years. His efforts often weren’t known to the public but were greatly appreciated by all core workers within the club.

Geoff was a very highly regarded member of the NSW Police force until retirement where he dedicated even more of his time to cricket and cricketers.  Like many, Geoff came up through the ranks as a cricketing father with sons David and Matt playing cricket at Penshurst West.

Geoff would become an active member of the management committee as well as coaching multiple junior teams. This Included GRPSTG Rep teams (now St George). In fact even after his sons had finished playing juniors he still played a proactive part in the junior cricket community which included managing a young U13’s rep team he felt had great potential but were doing it tough. After three years as manager, the team would eventually reach the potential Geoff knew they had and go on to win the Watson Shield. The team consisted of a number of youngsters that would go on to much bigger and better things in Moises Henriques and Steve Cazzulino.

It was also during this period that Geoff Hoggett became a much loved and integral part of the Kingsgrove Cricket Academy setup. Through his position as Evening Manager / Supervisor, Geoff helped create a highly popular place of cricketing education where so many of our players not only crafted their game but went on to become cricket coaches themselves. Importantly it was the extra care, attention and often education and friendship he provided to cricketing parents that will be greatly remembered.

Eventually Geoff’s son Matt moved into the playing ranks at St George so it was only natural for Geoff to roll his sleeves up and get involved. It started with ensuring that all was taken care of every day of play at each home game as well as managing the teams. Club Management soon realised that Geoff needed to be a part of the successful running of the club.

Matt Hoggett himself became an integral member of the playing staff and went on to become first grade player No.387. He also took on the key role of 2^nd Grade captain which yielded a premiership in the clubs centenary season of 09-10. All the while Geoff was by his side doing all he could to help the players. If the players had a club night at Hurstville Oval, more often than not, it was Geoff who would stay back and close up when they finally decided to move on into the night. The players loved and respected him greatly as did the senior members of the club.

Geoff’s extraordinary commitment to the club was recognised when he was recognised as Life Member No.48 of St George DCC.

Away from Cricket, Geoff was a loving family man and enjoyed numerous other sports, in particular Rugby League which he played as a young lad. He was a staunch Roosters fan having grown up in the Bondi area. Through his time in the police he had a plethora of amazing life experiences and was a great bloke to sit down and have a chat over a cold one. He did not shy away from telling it how it was and many people within the club would now be grateful for his honest advise.

Only just a month ago Geoff was in good spirits as he mingled with friends at the annual Life Members Lunch at Hurstville Oval. He was proud of his time well spent at St George DCC.

A finer man you could not wish to meet. He will be sorely missed by all who new him.

Geoff Hoggett was 80 years old.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the Hoggett Family.
