There might be some confusion about his AGE. The Dept has stated 38 at the time of death. He has been out of ‘the job’ for 5 years – makes him 33 when he left. He apparently did 15 years in ‘the job’. That would have made him 18 when he join ‘the job’. Somehow I don’t think his age is correct OR his years of service are wrong, unless he joined on his 19th birthday or very close to it.  Age has been confirmed, by friends, as 47.

Stephen Budgen:  FB 13 May 2016

CJ Young was a friend whom I admire for so many reasons. I joined the NSW Police with Col in 1992 and later worked alongside Col in the Tactical operations Unit. Col was someone with incredible patience and compassion, the guy that was always there to lend a hand, the guy who was unflappable under pressure, The guy you were relieved to see covering your 6 on the big jobs, he was the guy with exceptional ability but with greatest humility. He was of course more to so many more….he was a son, a brother, a father, a husband.

A kind, gentle compassionate person but equally one of the toughest men you will come across -taken too soon.

Rest in Peace Mate.

Midweek Roundup

BY ‘ Theo’

DETECTIVES Bob Shankleton and Rod Coulter, of Granville, are trying hard ” to catch up ” with a smash grab gang of jewellery thieves who are ” cleaning up ” big in their area.

Last week the thieves robbed a shop at Berala — 20 minutes later it was ” ditto ” to Goldman’s Store at Merrylands, then on to Westmead where jewellery was ” lifted ” from Kinsella’s shop. Although Bob and Rod ” missed out ” on a catch they recovered one portable radio taken from Goldman’s. It bounced out of the car the gang was using and was smashed on the roadway.

POLICE PUZZLED BY BLAST IN SHOP

Beat flames with hands

Intensive police inquiries are being made into the cause of a blast which wrecked a Merrylands Road, milk bar and grocery shop, last week.

The line of their inquiries indicate that the blast could have been caused by malicious burning.

Parramatta detectives, who are in charge of inquiries will call in a special detail of the C.I.B. Arson Squad, if evidence now collected does not shed any light on the origin of the fire. The section of Merrylands Road where the shop is located was rocked by a loud explosion in the early hours of Tuesday morning, October 8. The explosion was followed by a cloud of smoke, and fire broke out shortly after. An early estimate set the damage of the explosion at £10,000.

Police said the fire was first discovered by a brother of the proprietor of the shop, Joseph Areana, who tried to beat out the flames with his bare hands.

Burns

He suffered severe burns to his hands and body as he tried vainly to save the shop from entire destruction. He was later admitted to Parramatta Hospital, where he was detained for treatment and observation. Detectives Coulter and Nolan, who are in charge of inquiries, this week said the cause of the explosion was not yet known. They said they had several avenues of investigation and would make a report to Police Headquarters within a few days. A senior detective said every care was being taken to preserve clues and valuable information had been collected for scientific examination.

(Continued on Page 11)

Picture above shows wreckage in the interior of the Merrylands store after the blast.

SHOP BLAST (Cont. from Page 1)

He said the force of the explosion had blasted the metal door of the shop more than 50 feet across Merrylands Road. The fire had engulfed the shop in a matter of minutes and had destroyed stock, furniture and fittings insured for more than £5.000.

Two adjoining shops, an optometrists’ and a cafe, were also damaged. Heat from the blaze distorted sections of a metal awning and melted a plastic neon sign. The business premises next to the blasted shop also suffered, due to the explosion.

It was reported today that at 8ft. intervals the walls show signs of serious cracking.

Experts believe that had the blast occurred during normal trading hours, loss of life would inevitably have resulted.

Rod Coulter had married in 1985 and, at that time, was no longer a member of NSW Police Force.

It is believed that he has left the Police Force in the late 1970’s.

Prior to leaving the Police Force, it is also believed that he had been shot during an arrest and had also been run over by the vehicle driven by the criminal.  Rod was in hospital for 3 weeks and received 27 sutures.

After leaving the Police, it is believed he bought a couple of Pubs and Bottle Shop around Sydney ( Glebe ) and Kempsey.

Hi, I am trying to find is a David Christopher BOURKE who immigrated to Australia and was a Queensland Police Service Officer. He took leave from the police to join the Australia Army during WWI. He died on 2 May 1915. His NOK was his mother, Mrs K Bourke, 90 Coventry Drive, Dennistown, Glasgow. I am looking to see if his name appears somewhere on a local war memorial or cenotaph where his family is from. Mel

I have been advised that Dan Keating passed away most likely from a heart attack on Sunday at Dubbo whilst he was entertaining – playing guitar etc.

It is believed that Dan has been “out of the job” since early 1990’s.

Further information will be posted as it becomes available.

May Dan forever Rest In Peace.

Ron, due to his Registered number, would have joined NSWPF either November / December 1960.  He does NOT appear in the 1979 NSW Police ‘Stud Book’, so he may have left NSWPF prior to that year.  He also does not appear to have been a Police Cadet.
