Peter used to work for the Rural Bank and was actually living in a bank flat above the Rural Bank on Campbell Pde, Bondi, when he joined the NSWPF in his late 20’s.
Nothing further, at this time, is known about this former NSW Policeman.

ROBERT is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
Ajax BoltThere was a Robert W White, born, 9/10/1940, registered no 12534, member of class 110, sworn in at Redfern on 3/4/1967. He joined the Police band very early in his career and was a trumpet player, he apparently worked in the corrective services band at some time. Could be the same person, hope this helps in some way.
Cameron Bell Yes that’s him. He played the cornet amongst others. He also played in the Police Bands Dance Band where only a select few top musicians would play. He was an excellent musician and I always remember the jokes he used to tell.
Cameron BellJust trying to remember the year, but Mike Butcher took over conducting the band in 1972 and it was just after that the band went full time which would have been 1974/75.
Before that Whitey was stationed at Petersham where I think he was when he joined. He did three periods a week teaching music at a PCYC. Whitey was at Leichhardt.
He was still with the Police band when he died of bowel cancer.
He was a funny bugger, he turned 50 and seemed to give it up. Always saying “not bad for an old bugger”. The word was if he had had periodical check ups he would still be alive today.
So to sum up he was only stationed at Petersham police station then full time band at the Police Barracks at Redfern.
Hope that helps

It is a little difficult to feel another emotion other than melancholy after visiting an old friend who, in his own words looks you in the eye with his steel blue eyes and tells you he only has four weeks to live. Today was such a day when I visited my old work colleague from Campbelltown Detectives, James Robert Berthaly, known to all as either Bob, Bertha or Kimbies. My old partner Peter Gould had been generous enough to call in and see him before I had arrived and as I sat out on the verandah in the sunshine with Bob, we reminisced on times gone by, funny times we had shared at our second unofficial office ’The Lacks Hotel’, exchanging war stories and the like.
He spoke glowingly of his undying love for his three sons, one of whom tragically he had already lost through cancer, his friends from his lengthy and distinguished policing career, his world travels, his friends, but most of all his funny, quirky anecdotes about almost every facet of his life. As I sat there quietly listening to my old dying friend, I thought to myself that only those who knew this larrikin could even dare to believe his wonderful stories. Some of them have already become legendary.
For the two hours I sat with Kimbies, the mood was surprisingly uplifting, and he indeed laughed a great deal. I was almost in awe of his tenacity, courage and typically “Fuck You cancer” attitude. There were two occasions however, when he shed a few tears. I also did in kind. How could I not. When I left him, he gave me a massive bear hug and planted a big kiss on my left cheek, declaring, “I love you”. It was in turn, reciprocated.
I have made it my solemn promise to this great man and myself to visit him regularly, weekly, in his greatest time of need and I urge all of his friends and former colleagues to do the same. He is in good spirits, and informed me that he is happy to receive guests. Bob always had time for everyone else. Now it is our time to repay that debt. You will find him on Level 2, Raine House, Whiddon Group, 81 Belmont Road, Glenfield.
Our lives, by those who have touched them are etched forever in our minds as a myriad of footprints in the sand. Some footprints however, are etched deeper in the sands than others, solely by what we have received from those whose footprints are left. In Bob’s case, his footprints are forever indelible.
Received this letter from the Police Commissioner yesterday for the late ‘Kimbies’ Berthaly. Emailed to me to pass onto the Berthaly family. Nice gesture Commissioner. I know the family will appreciate it.
Greg, I believe, resigned from NSWPF and was, for a couple of years, working Security in the Wollongong Mall.
Greg, a man who stood around 6’5″ tall with huge hands, slim but strong build, a prominent adams apple, deep laugh and a smoker, lost his fight witch cancer on 23 March 2008.
Loving and devoted husband of Lynette and adored father of Kate, Colin, Clare, Eddie, Jackie.
Brother of Craig and Elaine, Stephen and Ellen.
Former husband to Tonia.
Son of the late Craig and Margaret Edwards.
Aged 56 years.
Forever in hour Hearts.
Relatives and Friends are invited to attend Greg’s Funeral Service to be held in the Chapel, Parsons Funeral Home, 34 Belmore St, Wollongong, on Thursday at 10.30am.
In lieu of Flowers, donations to Palliative Care, Port Kembla Hospital would be appreciated.

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
901 days ago ( as of 28 November 2016 ), Lauren created this page in support of NSW Police Legacy.
With the help of NSW Police Legacy, Lauren gave everything:
Shared their page with everyone they could.
Received 6 donations from generous family and friends.
Raised $192.
My Story
Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Lauren Penn. To do city 2 surf has been on my to do list for over 10 years. As a young teenager my Dad would come in and wake me up at the crack of dawn to go for a walk with him, we talked about anything and everything on our walks and we would often talk about doing city 2 surf together.
Unfortunately we never were able to as my Dad pasted away from cancer when I was 15. My Dad, Senior Sergeant Greg Penn joined the NSW police force when he was only 21 and served 27 years. My Dad served in almost every duty as a police officer, from radio, blue light unit, highway patrol, PCYC. He worked at a number of stations, Rosebay, Mascot, Corrimal and Lake Illawarra.
Throughout his career he was highly commended and received a number of honors and medals. My Dad also created a computer program to track youths at the PCYC clubs and I remember visiting different clubs with him when he went to install the program.
Late 2003 we found out dad had cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer and kidney cancer. On the 4/4/04 my Dad passed away surrounded by our family at our home, he was 48. 2014 marks 10 years since losing Dad.
Every choice and decision I have my in the last ten years I would stop and ask myself “what would dad say”, “what you he do”. So being ten years, I wanted to do something with a lot of meaning; I choose to do city 2 surf, like we always talked about. At the time of registering, I hadn’t exercised properly for 3yrs, since registering I have started boot camp and eating correctly and have lost 10kgs so far, my goal is to be able to do city 2 surf in 2 hours and 20minutes.
After Dad passed away Police Legacy had a benefit night in my Dads honor which raised money for my sister and I to receive when we turned 25. With Police Legacies help I have been able to complete 4 TAFE certificates which have help me hugely in returning to work after having my daughter.
So as a small token of my appreciation towards Police Legacy, my goal is to raise $500.
I also believe that Greg PENN did a lot of computer work in relation to the macro system in WordPerfect 5.1 in making shortcuts to the forms that were used in everyday police work – especially in relation to traffic matter and developed the system which was widely used throughout NSW Police Stations around the 1990’s.

TARGETED PROGRAMMING: THE PENN SYSTEM
Real results in reducing juvenile crime
Police Officers working within PCYC tackle juvenile crime through what is known as “Targeted Programming”. The work of the Officers in 2004 was again instrumental in preventing and reducing youth crime.
Targeted Programming consists of three program areas:
1. Case Management of individual young offenders referred to PCYC Officers by a Police Local Area Command or local Magistrate, identified as Priority One work, or P1s;
2. High visibility policing in juvenile crime of anti-social behaviour locations or ‘hot-spots’, referred to as Priority Two work, or P2s;
3. Community Policing projects such as involvement in driver education or school visitation.
Targeted Programming is supported by a software planning and evaluation program developed within PCYC, and now known as the PENN system, in honour of one of the key architects of targeted programming, S/Sgt Greg Penn (see story page 35).
All 57 Clubs throughout NSW received Young Offender and Youth Crime ‘Hotspot’ referrals from Police Local Area Commands and the Crime Management Units throughout the year.
At the end of the 2004, PCYC Police had received 1951 young offender (Priority One) referrals since launching Targeted Programming in July 2001, of which 433 were Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) young people.
By the end of 2004, there were 575 Priority One young people being currently case managed by PCYC Police.
The Priority One results as at December 2004 were extremely positive with young offenders reducing their offending behaviour collectively by a staggering 68.9% over a nine month period.
In regards to Priority Two referrals and Youth Crime ‘Hotspots’, PCYC have received a total 336 referrals since July 2001, with 207 current Priority Two Referrals being targeted by PCYC Police in 2004.
There were a total of 24 807 ‘other’ young people involved in community policing conducted by PCYC Police.
PCYC’s work in crime prevention was recognised in 2004, through the Australian Violence and Crime Prevention Award Scheme.
During 2004, the PCYC Board funded a review of the PENN system to determine its validity and reliability. The evaluation focused on 861 referrals between 2001 and 2003, which were compared with a control group of all other young offenders not referred to PCYC Targeted Programming (92, 237 young offenders).
Some specific findings of the evaluation were:
8% of Targeted Programming participants reduced incidents by five or more in the three months immediately after referral;
29% of Targeted Programming participants reduced incidents by two or more.
Another interesting finding of the evaluation was that 9.9% of the non-PCYC group were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) young people, while ATSI young people made up 34.2% of the PENN referrals studied.
This shows that PCYC Targeted Programming has been particularly beneficial to many ATSI young people.
Other findings of the evaluation were:
That offence rates amongst those involved in the program drop significantly as reported;
That PCYC manages some of the State’s more difficult young offenders; and
The next stage in the evaluation of Targeted Programming could be a focus on long term behavioural change by persistence with young offenders.
PCYC looks forward to the further development of PENN in 2005 and congratulates the many dedicated Police Officers and their civilian colleagues in PCYC who, on a daily basis work with young people in their local community. The work they undertake is extremely important and challenging; their reward is the satisfaction of knowing they have a real impact, and they are positively changing the direction of the lives of young people.
SNR SERGEANT GREG PENN
In April 2004, PCYC lost one of its most respected Police Officers, when Snr Sgt Greg Penn lost his long battle with cancer. With the movement for about 10 years, Snr Sgt Penn began as the Inner Metro Zone Commander, served as Zone Commander for the Southern region and was acting State Co-ordinator when illness struck.
Despite his battle with cancer, Snr Sgt Penn dedicated himself to the progression of Police computer systems such as PASS (Programs And Services System).
The success of Targeted Programming and the PENN system were recognised by the Federal Government in the 2003 National Crime and Violence Prevention Awards.
After his passing, Snr Sgt Penn was honoured by the NSW Police for his work in the areas of computer software design and youth crime prevention, by being
awarded a Commissioner’s Commendation. The commendation recognised his outstanding commitment and dedication to duty throughout his career, particularly the vital role he played in the design and implementation of computer systems that have enabled enormous benefits to operational Police and the community. His wife Joanne gratefully accepted this award in his honour.
PCYC State Coordinator, Insp Paul Macmillan, said Snr Sgt Penn’s commitment in this most important area of policing merited acknowledgement at the highest level.
“His work has brought tangible benefits to the community and the NSW Police and is an example for others to follow in the best traditions of policing,” Insp
Macmillan said.
“Greg was extremely popular with a great sense of humour and warm personality. He will be enormously missed by his many friends in PCYC and the NSW Police.”
Sadly, Snr Sgt Penn leaves behind his wife Joanne, and two school aged daughters, Lauren and Alexandra.
PCYC hosted a benefit night for the Penn family at the Illawarra Master Builders Club which featured a performance by the NSW Police Swing Band, with
Trevor ” Boe ” Cullen is a current serving member of NSWPF.

Trevor was also a qualified commercial pilot and possibly ferried planes across the Pacific Ocean from the USA to Australia.

PASSING OF TREVOR JOHN CULLEN – GOLD COAST BRANCH STALWART:
Trevor John CULLEN was a member of the Gold Coast Branch of Retired Police Association ( R.P.A. ) for some sixteen years and was held in high esteem by all who knew him and enjoyed his company over many years. Trevor had always been a most regular attendee at our Branch meetings for many years – but due to serious ill health had not been in attendance for a considerable time.
Trevor Cullen was a Detective for most of his service and enjoyed a reputation as an investigator of some renown, whose ability and analytical skills resulted in numerous criminal convictions including for the horrendous crime of murder. I had the pleasure of working with Trevor Cullen as the junior detective on several murder cases and I admired both his investigative skills and his tenacious commitment in bringing criminals to justice.
Trevor ultimately passed away on the 10 November and was subsequently laid to rest on the 18th November. At his funeral John KING, Bob COOLEY and Brian LANDON most honourably represented our Branch – with the floral tribute and eulogy being delivered by his former workmate and close friend Graeme ROSS.
The sincere condolences of all branch members are extended to his dear wife Laurel and his family.

My dad’s name is Ian Hollins and he has been a police officer for 30 years. He is a loving father of 4, husband, son, brother, uncle and poppy to 2 beautiful little girls. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. This is his story. Early last year, my dad had a small mole on his hip that had never been a concern in the past and i doubt he even knew was there. He walked through a door and bumped the mole. It immediately grew to 12cm in diameter. Dad ignored the pain and continued to work through it for months. My mum had noticed the mole leaking and could see that it was making my dad very uncomfortable. But instead of going to the dr, my dad worked through the pain and got on with his job. By this stage simple things and getting out of the police car and wearing a gun belt were excruciating. Yet he continued.. The pain became too much to handle so my dad drove himself down to the emergency room at Nickol Bay Hospital in Karratha. The drs took one look at him, took a scan, and delivered the news to my dad. It was in fact an aggressive melanoma that had spread to the lymph nodes, lung and ribcage. My dad was diagnosed with melanoma in October 2015 at 49 years of age. We knew it was going to be a long and difficult road, especially living in Karratha! The police department transferred my dad to Lancelin WA to be closer to medical help and to his family. My darling mum had to leave her job to help look after my dad. Since october he has had 2 major surgeries, treatments, countless appointments, scans and tests and he is still fighting. It wasn’t until he had a seizure in june 2016 we then realised that the melanoma had spread to his brain. Another major bump in the road but we will continue to fight! So i am starting up this go fund me page to help out my parents with travel, appointment costs, treatments, medicines and accommodation for the family if things become very hard. Money should be the last thing they need to stress about and i feel this will help my dad along his way and get him the best treatment possible! We are refusing to give up on him. Thank you to all of our family and friends. You have all been so wonderful and we are incredibly lucky to have you. My dad is a brave wonderful man and is an asset to the police department and to the community. Please help us fight!

Hey guys! I know a lot of you have been asking me how dad has been going so i thought i would update everyone at once. For the last couple of weeks dad has been very sick and lethargic. We decided to take him to joondalup hospital last Sunday where we waited 7 hours in emergency! Poor dad was very frail which was heartbreaking for us to see as we are used to this big strong cop! They finally got him through and tried taking some blood which was nearly impossible with him being as dehydrated as he was. Tests come back and yes it was severe dehydration. Dad spent 4 nights in hospital. A couple of drs delivered the same news “ian we can’t do anything else for you” which is bullshit. Dad is out of hospital now looking better! We WILL keep fighting and trying everything!! No one can tell us otherwise. HOLLINS blood is strong ❤

From as long as i can remember, dad has been a die hard eagles fan and not once has had the chance to go to a live game.

Hey everyone! Once again thank you for the shares and donations! I’m boosting this post as we have more plans in place.

Update 6

So here’s the latest news on dad for everyone who has been asking:)
Dad’s radiologist, Professor Spry has started more radiation on the new tumours that have appeared around dads original operation site. Professor sounds confident that this will fix them quick.This means that dad is back at the Genesis Cancer lodge where the wonderful Jo and Ron will look after dad. The immunotherapy treatments have failed and the last round put dad in hospital and nearly killed him so we are sticking to the radiation and alternative medicines
Dad is in a massive amount of pain which affects him for long car rides and sitting in general but the radiation should start to reduce the tumours right away! Dad has his good days and terrible ones but everyone’s positivity is giving him the boost to keep fighting! We will try everything because this man is special. Thank you again to everyone. Love from the Hollins family❤

Last Wednesday dad took a turn for the worse. We had to call the ambo to take him from lancelin to joondalup hospital. Dad was dehydrated and in absolute agony. He’s back at home since yesterday everyone is keeping a close eye on him. I would share the recent photos of his tumours all over his lower back but the pictures are quite shocking. Dad cries with pain and it breaks our heart because we wish we could do more. The doctors have given up hope but we NEVER will! Miracles happen everyday. ❤

This is an update to everyone who has helped with love, positive vibes and donations to my dad’s fund. I want to thank you on behalf of my dad and the family. This fund helped take the stress of dad in his final months. Love to you all.
1:15pm today we lost our beautiful, strong brave father. He fought so hard until his last breath. He knew we were by his side and he waited to say goodbye to every single one of his loved ones. I have never ever been so proud of one man like I was my dad. We fought for him but his time was up. He will remain in our hearts and through the hearts of the thousands of people he fought for. While our hearts are broken his memory will remain for as long as we will. We love you dad. We will make you so proud dad. See you on the other side and don’t worry about mum…we will take care of her❤
To everyone who has donated thank you so much, sometimes we set goals all in hope that we can get somewhere close. In just one day we’ve almost reached our goal. You are all so wonderful, we cannot thank you enough for your generosity Xxx

Oh Courtney – such sad news to hear. It surely was a pleasure having known Ian – even for the short time he was here in Lano. I suppose we can only take comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain. From all of us at the Hardware, accept and pass on our heartfelt condolences – and huge hugs to all the family.

Hi Greg
Sad to hear about Pat’s passing, he was a great bloke. I first came across him when he was stationed in Lithgow around 1970, I was attached to Bathurst STP and then I was again with him at Wollongong.
Cheers
John Ernst
I knew Pat when he was a Senior Constable on the Special Traffic Patrol (HWP) at Bathurst in the mid-1960.

Hi Greg
So sorry to hear of Pats passing, I worked with him when he was a senior constable and then a sergeant at Warilla could you give my condolences to his family please as I will not be able to attend his funeral.
Regards
Ken Owens
Hi Greg,
Pat Jordan was a good man but unfortunately I will be unable to make the funeral.

Cal, I can’t make it but please pass on my condolences.

Hi Cal,
Wasn’t Pat our Sgt 2/C or Sgt 1/C at Warilla HWP. Maybe he was replaced by Lionel Benson as Sgt 1/C.
I left there in 1988 and he had already gone, I think he was promoted to Inspector but he didn’t stay at Warilla as an Insp.
