Vale: Sergeant Christopher John Bird (AFP 7512)
It was with much sadness we received news today of the passing of Detective Sergeant Chris Bird after a protracted battle with cancer.
Birdy joined the job as an investigator in Sydney Office and for many years has been a fixture in ACT Policing. With a passion for uniform policing and bomb response he has been a mate to many and will be sorely missed.
We here at the AFPA have been proud to support Birdy and his family and our thoughts go out to Tracy and their kids at this difficult time.

Man caught trying to beak into cars in Gungahlin apartment complex
Date: July 29 2015
Police arrested a man in a Gungahlin underground car park on Tuesday night after he was caught trying to break into cars.
ACT Policing said officers found the 35-year-old Scullin man hiding in a service area of an apartment complex on Gungahlin Place after a member of the public reported suspicious behaviour about 11.15pm.
The man was found with tools and items suspected to be stolen.
He was taken to Gungahlin Police Station and later charged with trespassing, going equipped for theft, possessing stolen property, providing a false name and attempting to escape custody.
The man will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday afternoon.
Gungahlin acting station sergeant Chris Bird praised the actions of the member of the public who called police.
“This person did the right thing – they saw something that looked suspicious and they called the police,” he said.
“Often people will assume that someone else will do something, but this person took it upon themselves to take action.
“If you see someone who looks suspicious, loitering near cars or looking into vehicles, someone you don’t usually see in your complex, then call the police.”
Sergeant Bird urged Canberrans to report car break-ins to police on 131 444, even if the car was unlocked or nothing was stolen.
Police have urged anyone who may have seen the incident in Gungahlin to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via act.crimestoppers.com.au

Woman robbed of handbag; witnesses sought
ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to a robbery that occurred in Gungahlin this morning (Monday, 20 July).
Around 9am a woman was walking towards the Big W loading dock (opposite a public car park) in Gungahlin when a male person ran up behind her and grabbed her handbag.
A brief struggle occurred with the male threatening the woman before fleeing the scene with the woman’s handbag. He was last seen getting into a dark coloured vehicle, which sped off erratically turning left off The Valley Way and onto Gungahlin Drive.
Acting Station Sergeant Chris Bird from Gungahlin Station said this incident was a cowardly attack.
“ACT Policing treats all robberies seriously, but this type of incident where a member of the public is going about her daily business and is confronted in such a cowardly manner is disturbing. We’re calling on the public’s assistance to help us identify the offender,” Acting Station Sergeant Bird said.
Police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information that could assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.
