Cronulla riot probe highlights cop failures

October 25, 2006 – 2:50PM
A report into the strike force that investigated Sydney’s Cronulla riot and reprisal attacks has highlighted a breakdown in communications among the police involved.

The 33-page report, compiled by former senior officers Ron Sorrenson and Tony Jeffries, was released today by NSW police.

It looks at the management of Strike Force Enoggera, established to investigate the December 11 riot and subsequent retaliatory attacks.

It investigated why Police Commissioner Ken Moroney was not told of the existence of video footage of a man being bashed by a gang of Middle Eastern youths on the night following the riot.

Following the reported oversight, Mr Moroney removed Acting Superintendent Dennis Bray as the head of the strike force.

He was later reinstated under Supt Ken McKay after detectives threatened industrial action.

The report said the “unintentional omission” to advise the commissioner of the video was the most significant breakdown in communications.

“Whilst this omission was not as a result of the actions of any one person or an attempt to deliberately mislead the commissioner, it highlighted a deficiency in the system,” the report said.

Mr Moroney, in a statement accompanying the report, said all its nine recommendations were accepted.

He said a “business case” will be made to the NSW government relating to the capturing and cataloguing of photographic images.

However, he noted the methodology adopted by Strike Force Enoggera was successful, leading to the arrest and charging of 103 offenders51 in relation to the riot and 52 for the revenge attacks.

Strike Force Enoggera was successful in that regard, however we will investigate what technologies are available to enhance our capacity to collate and process large volumes of visual data,” he said.

Mr Moroney also today released a report into a complaint alleging NSW police failed to respond to an assault on Mr Jasen (Jasen) Greeks during Sydney’s Macquarie Field riot.

The police investigation was oversighted by the ombudsman’s office.

Mr Moroney said an apology was sent to Mr Greeks in early September.

Ombudsman Bruce Barbour today said the original internal police investigation into the Greeks matter had been deficient and had “not covered areas that should have been covered”.

“Finally when they (police) went back and looked at the matter again at our urging, they ultimately agreed with our view about the matters,” Mr Barbour told reporters.

The cortege moved from the deceased’s Into residence, “The Fisherton,” Marsfield, about 3 o’clock, and was followed by a large concourse of mourners in vehicles and on foot.

A short service was held at the residence by the Rev. Charles Baber (Church of England), who also officiated at the grave.

Inspector Lawless retired some two years ago on pension, and removed to Marsfield. Up to that time he was one of the oldest police officers In the State.

Originally he joined the London police, in which he attained the rank of sergeant.

About 1852 he came to Victoria, where he also held a sergeant‘s rank in the Victorian police force.

In 1866 he joined the New South Wales police as a constable, and gradually rose in rank until, in 1883, he became an acting sub-inspector.

In April, 1893, he was made an Inspector.

Altogether, the deceased was connected with No. 2 Police Station for 25 years, in addition to nine years’ service in the Redfern district.

This is a transcript from the Sydney Morning Herald dated 3 January 1902

DEATH OF INSPECTOR LAWLESS.

A VETERAN POLICE OFFICER.

Inspector Lawless, who had been connected with the New South Wales police force for over 30 years, but retired two years ago owing to ill-health, died at his residence, The Fisherton, Balaclava-road, Marsfield, on Wednesday, at the age of 74 years.

Before coming to the colonies Mr. Lawless was attached to the London Metropolitan Police, and was stationed at Bow-street station, E. division. He held the rank of sergeant, in which capacity he was on duty at the International Exhibition 1851. The following year Mr. Lawless resigned from the London police and went to Victoria, where he joined the local force.
He was afterwards appointed as a sergeant, and retained that position until the gold rush broke out, when he resigned and interested himself in mining matters.

About two years later Mr.Lawless joined the New South Wales police force, and was attached to No.2 division, where he rose from the lowest rank to that of sub-inspector. During the year 1891 he was placed in charge of Redfern division, which was then a subdivision of No.2, but which subsequently became a division in itself.

In April, 1893, he was appointed an inspector, but remained at Redfern until 1899, when he retired. Since that time he has resided at Marsfield. The late Inspector Lawless was a man who was highly respected, and who gained the confidence of the public and the men who
served under him.

Flash Flanagan was a rough and ready Policeman who worked at Fairfield and Liverpool Police, on General Duties, before his Resignation in February 1982.
Flash was diagnosed with Liver & Kidney cancer one month prior to his passing.  The Cancer was aggressive and quick.  He was in palliative care when he passed.
Lenny was a real ‘old school’ cop, who never took a backward step from anyone.
After Resigning, he took on a pub in Port Douglas, Qld, for a few years after which he was selling real estate at Mossman, Qld, up to at least two years prior to his death.
He was a colourful guy who loved boxing and was very popular with all the new blokes arriving at # 2 Division ( Regent St ).
