Tragically Victoria Police lost one of our own yesterday in an apparent suicide.
The VPS member had dedicated a large amount of their working life supporting others within the organisation.
We have lost a much loved member of the policing community.
Out of respect to the member, their family, friends and colleagues, we will not name this member but rest assured, they will be sadly missed.
Rest in forever peace.

Police gear up for nostalgic chaos that was Beatlemania

SYDNEY: Scenes reminiscent of Beatlemania are expected tomorrow when rock superstar Paul McCartney makes his first in-store record appearance since the days of the Beatles.

Thousands of McCartney’s fans are expected to turn out to try to get a glimpse of – or meet – the former Beatle when he appears for 30 minutes at Brashs’ city store to sign copies of his latest album, Off The Ground.

EMI Music spokesman Tom Enright said police had been enlisted to assist with crowd control.

” We’ll have masses and masses of security guards to make sure that people file in and out of the store correctly, ” Mr Enright said.

” And of course, the store will be barricaded. ”

The control technician of the City of Sydney police, Inspector Paul Moseley, would not reveal how many police would be in attendance.

” There will be police on hand to assist security guards with the maintenance of order in the store, ” he said.

Escapers caught in Goulburn

Two prison escapers had been caught in Goulburn yesterday, after police received a tip that they had boarded a train to Goulburn from Sydney, Constable Paul Moseley, of Goulburn CID said yesterday.

The escapers had been serving six-month sentences at Silverwater Jail, near Parramatta.

One, Mr Anthony Coleman, 20, walked out of the jail early on Monday, and the other, Mr Gary Lee, failed to report back to the centre after being allowed weekend leave last Friday.

Three other prisoners who have escaped since last Friday are still at large.

Mr Raymond Wright, 24, serving 18 years for armed hold-up, cut bars in his cell and climbed the security wall at Goulburn Jail on Tuesday, and escaped.

Mr Barry Millane, 39, serving a life sentence for murder, escaped on Friday night while attending a basketball game at the Sydney Boys’ High School.

Earlier on Friday a young prisoner absconded during his regular cooking class at East Sydney Technical College at Darlinghurst.

Sending all my love to all the family. The memories we shared will never be forgotten. Will never forget the party at the West’s seeing him dressed up as a bikie with Leonie and how much he loved that Harley. I’ll always remember his gentleness and compassion. He was a very special and influential man. Thoughts are with you all and all the grandchildren.

Knew Richard ( Dickie ) from the time he joined the Police Cadets in 1962. Great mates during those wonderful days. We rowed in the re formed Police rowing team together with the likes of Glen Deholm and Bob Worland.
Dick and I went to Adelaide together in early 1966 on a camping trip visiting a number of ‘old’ former cadets along the way at various Police Stations in regional NSW. Lost contact unfortunately when I went to the bush that same year.
RIP mate and condolences to all the Doust family.

What a beautiful service for Richard. So pleased we could be part of it from the rolling hills of Dorrigo where he was born.
Richard’s Mum Glad Lawrence & my mother Ida Pullen, from Sydney went to Dorrigo in 1937 and met these two Dorrigo Dairy farmers. Glad married Albert Doust a 2nd cousin of my mothers. From that time our families have been close & would catch up at family gatherings over the years. It was great growing up with Richard, Margaret & Neroli in Dorrigo and more recently catching up with them at Nelson Bay at a fabulous dinner party with Geoff & Judy Washington in February. Our thoughts are with you all. A wonderful Celebration of Richard ‘s life.

John Thomas Lawler was born about 1870 at Burrawang (near Berrima) NSW.

John Thomas Lawler was sworn in as a Probationary Constable on the 16th August 1890. He was confirmed as a Constable on the 16 August 1891. He was promoted to Senior Constable on the 1st January 1895.

He married Mary Waldron Johnston in 1892 at Moss Vale. At the time he was stationed at Wee Waa. They had five children. One died as an infant. Two boys and two girls survived childhood.

Senior Constable Lawler was first stationed at Moree then Frederickton, Macksville, Gladstone and Port Macquarie (1904).

On the 22nd October 1912 Senior Constable Lawler was returning to Port Macquarie from the Quarter Sessions at Kempsey. He suffered from an attack of appendicitis but managed to make it to Telegraph Point. He was conveyed to the Hastings District Hospital where he had an operation. The appendicitis was complicated by peritonitis. A clot formed on his brain which paralysed one side of his body. Senior Constable Lawler died at the Hastings District Hospital on the 8th November 1912. He was 43 years old.

He was the Secretary of the Parents and Citizens Association, a member of the School of Arts Committee and a prominent adherent to the Presbyterian Church.

Senior Constable Lawler was buried on the 9 November 1912 in the West Port Macquarie Cemetery. His funeral was attended by the Mayor of Port Macquarie, the President of the Hastings Shire, the President of the Agricultural Society and Sub-Inspector Edwards. All flags in town were flying half staff and business places and hotels were closed as the procession moved through town.

In 1913 the gratuity for his widow was increased from 280 to £310.
