GWEN 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.
I remember Gwennie Griffin well – her statements from girls who had under-age sex were quite unique. Because of the content of her statements, Gwennie was affectionately known as wet and sticky.
In relation to police women, keep in mind that up until the mid 1960s, women police were special constables.
In the mid 60s all serving members of the Women Police were sworn in as members of the New South Wales Police Force at a special parade.
The sergeant conducting that parade was none other than Roy McCallum Shiels.

Cafe Locked Out: (Interview starts at 6m 30s and goes for 1 hour).
Below is a very honest and raw interview with a grieving Father whose son recently committed suicide (August 2022).
His son Aaron Dalla Costa was fired from his dream job as a NSW policeman for not towing the line by handing his body over to the Government and big pharma.
Unfortunately, Aaron’s family and children will never get to see his smile or hear his laugh again because of this evil agenda our bureaucrats have thrown us into.
A photo of Aaron is in the comments.. look at him and try to understand that he was real, he was loved, and he spent years building his life to where he got it before it was all cut short
Thank you Michael Dalla Costa for sharing your story!
On Sunday 7th August our world was turned upside down when we tragically lost Azz.
A truly kind and caring husband to my sister Crystal, son to Jenny and Mino, brother to Bianca, grandson, uncle, brother in law, and friend to so many. And most importantly, an AMAZING father to Kobain & Ainsley.
No words can express the pain and loss his family and friends are feeling. There is going to be a hole in our lives and hearts forever.
This page is to raise funds to support Crystal and the kids.
If you would like to support them, please donate using the ‘Donate Now’ button. All funds will be collected by Evie Spice, Crystal’s sister and transferred to Crystal.

Thank you from my the bottom of my heart.

M1 Pacific Motorway closure: pedestrian struck by truck, diversions in place at Warnervale
Updated August 8 2022 – 7:03am, first published August 7 2022 – 3:48pm
A SECTION of the M1 Pacific Motorway at Warnervale is expected to remain closed for some time after a pedestrian was hit by a truck.
The incident occurred just after 2.30pm on Sunday near Sparks Road. Emergency services, including police and paramedics, were called to the scene and quickly closed several lanes to traffic. The northbound lanes will remain closed while officers conduct investigations into the incident.
Northbound motorists are being diverted off the motorway at Sparks Road to rejoin the motorway using the on-ramp. Heavy traffic conditions have already been reported in the area and drivers should expect significant delays.
By all reports, Aaron was known as a Top Bloke and Good Copper.
During the height of the Covid19 Pandemic ( around 2020 – 2021 ), NSW Police members ( all staff – unless exempt ) were Directed to be vaccinated against the disease ( Mandated ). All Serving members who failed ( by a certain period ) to comply with this Mandate or otherwise failed to supply an Exemption were Served with a 181D ( Show Cause why your Employment should not be Terminated ).
‘ Not having ” the jab ” doesn’t necessarily make a person an ” anti vaxer ” ‘ but, allegedly, Aaron was Served with a 181D and eventually left the employ of NSWPF.
Whether the Mental Trauma & ramifications of a 181D was a causation factor in Aaron’s mind is unknown to me – although, had I been in his shoes ( and I have suffered a 181D ), I have no doubt how the man was feeling – having forfeited ” the job ” that he no doubt loved because of the Pandemic.
Aaron stepped in front of an oncoming B Double semi upon the M1, Warnervale, NSW.
May Aaron Forever Rest In Peace.
May his family find Peace and may the innocent B Double driver, and his family, also find Peace.
As stated to me, by another member on the original Post:
” It’s important during these challenging times for all of us to look out for each other and not to wait for someone who ‘knows him/her better’ to make contact and make sure they are ok.”

” THE DECATHLON’S TOO HARD FOR ME ” ways the winner)
By PETER BANFIELD
” That’s all right for fun, but I’m not going to take it up seriously, ” 21 year-old javelin star Bob Grant said after winning the gruelling Victorian decathlon championship at Olympic Park yesterday.
” I’m not interested in doing it again in the Olympics.
” I didn’t expect to get anywhere this time, because it’s really hard. ”
Grant, who was making only his second decathlon appearance, piled up a total of 5,213 points in the 10-event series.
This gave him victory by 156 points from 21-year-old Sydney policeman Moisant “Sonny” Bennett, who gained 5,057 points.
Alan Hiscock, Old Melburnians, was third, with 4,015 points.
Early leader and hot favorite, Ian Bruce, South Australia, had to withdraw from yesterday’s events because doctors found he was suffering from a dislocated collarbone.
He was injured when he won the high jump on Saturday, but went on to take part in the final event of the day, the 400 metres, to hold a commanding lead with 3,725 points.
Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.
