MUZZA 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.
By all accounts, Muzza was a very laid back character, a great Detective and loved his old Holden EH sedan.
He was, apparently, working for Border Force ( Customs ) since leaving NSW Police Force until recently due to a decrease in quality of life.

A beautiful service for beautiful, kind, funny and exceptional man. I first spotted Murray in Woolworths in Grafton and thought he was absolutely gorgeous – and he was, inside and out. We became friends but lost touch. We met up again some 20 years later and remained in contact . I was always amazed at what he was up to – he led such an interesting life and no doubt impacted on so many in good ways. A life well lived – he was loved by many. RIP Murray, Sally and Grace xx

Murray was a man of very high personal and professional standards. He spent his life protecting others, putting the lives and well-being of others before his own. He had a sharp mind and a very dry wit. I will always remember sitting in his TV room filling in my notes while he was watching British Train Journeys. Murray made a statement about the presenter, Saying, ” That block can fight.” I looked at the TV and said, “How do you know that?” Murray said, says, yeah , he’s a really good fighter for sure!” Again l looked at the TV presented and notice the very bright hot pink trousers and fluro green shirt with red shinning shoes and l burst out laughing! I realised he was saying that the presenter had to be a great fighter to wear those clothes and survive. Such was the diversity of Murrays personality. I could honestly say that Murray always emitted a sense of safety and comfort whenever you were around him. It was difficult for him to accept the support as he was such an independent and strong person but eventually forged strong and lasting friendships in the least likely places. I feel blessed to have known him and grateful for the memories. RIP Murray, until we meet again.

Muzza, there are no words that can describe the sadness all your friends and family feel. It would be hard pressed to find anyone who didn’t love and respect you mate, even the many crooks you ushered into the dock! You took me under your wing and were like a big brother when Bondi & Waverley Detectives joined as one, now known as Eastern Suburbs. Many a young Police Officer would later learn from your distinct style. I’ll always remember the numerous Sunday sessions at watering holes around the Eastern Suburbs and the occasional motor bike ride to various locations. A specific memory comes to mind when a few of us travelled by the Indian Pacific train from Sydney to Broken Hill (19 hrs) to visit your new digs after you transferred there. Train cattle class wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Nevertheless, you showed us around and we had a ball..! As fate would later have it, we found ourselves living beside one another in Kirra (QLD) opposite the beach for a period of time before you headed up to the Northern Territory for work. You were taken to young. I am sorry that I am unable to attend your funeral service in person. I will be thinking of you, your family and the many memories whilst viewing on line. Rest in peace my friend. Cameron Miller (Burger)

WES is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
WES possibly will be mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance – Surry Hills
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
Dubbo’s Wesley Bush knew from a young age that he wanted to be a police officer. It’s a dream he’s glad to have followed, as he prepares to start working as a probationary constable.
The 23-year-old policing student will be one of the speakers at the Dubbo Police Career Day on Sunday 21 April.The day is a joint initiative of the NSW Police and Charles Sturt University (CSU), inviting visitors to find out more about policing as a career and the recruit education program, the Diploma of Policing Practice (DPP).
The Police Career Day runs from 10am to 2pm, with a formal information session commencing at 10am. Speakers include current students such as Mr Bush, recent graduates, university and police staff. They will discuss career options within the police service, health and lifestyle issues and the education program.
Mr Bush said he had found studying at the Police College in Goulburn an enjoyable experience.
“There is a lot of support while you are on campus, all the staff are very helpful,” he said.
Mr Bush will be returning to regional NSW in May, to complete the DPP while he is employed as a probationary constable in Orange.
The Diploma of Policing Practice is offered in a number of different modes, including distance education, making it accessible to a broad range of prospective students.
DPP students may be eligible to be employed by the NSW Police as probationary constables after two 14-week sessions of study, then they complete their training over a further 12 months.
Applications for the Diploma will also be accepted on the day. Anyone wishing to apply should bring the original, plus copies of documents, such as birth certificates, results of prior study and references.
The Police Career Day is being held at the Police and Community Youth Club, corner of Darling and Erskine Streets, Dubbo.

CAUGHT: Senior Constable Wes Bush with one of the many illegal mobile radar detectors seized by police in the last few weeks.
TWELVE Orange drivers have had illegally installed mobile radar detectors seized by police in the last few weeks.
The drivers have been hit with heavy fines of $1300 each and lost nine points from their licence.
Orange police have specially installed devices in each vehicle which emit a loud signal when a vehicle is approaching with an illegally installed detector.
Police say the illegal devices have been imported by either being purchased over the internet or obtained overseas and brought in to the country in luggage.
Senior Constable Wes Bush said when drivers were caught they realised they would have to pay a heavy fine.
“But they get a real shock when they find out they lose nine points off their licence,” he said. “They only need to have had one speeding fine added to that and their licence is gone.”
Police say the standard navigation GPS systems which can be purchased in retail outlets do not pose a problem as they only have a facility for detecting fixed cameras.
The illegal devices which have been confiscated in the last few weeks are small enough to fit in the palm of the hand and plug into a cigarette lighter.
Snr Const Bush said many drivers were also unaware that it is illegal to be caught buying or storing a detector in a vehicle.
ORANGE residents were far worse in 2013 when it came to speeding in school zones, with about 281 drivers booked in the Orange local government area – an 84 per cent increase from 2012 when 153 drivers were fined.
The most common offenders when it comes to speeding in school zones, are parents whose children go to the school Leading Senior Constable Wes Bush said.
The increase in fines was not necessarily because Orange drivers were becoming more complacent, Senior Constable Bush said, rather Orange highway patrol had been “actively” targeting school zones.
As 40 km/h school zones kick into force from Tuesday, Senior Constable Bush urged people to slow down and pay attention to school zone signage.
“There’s plenty of signs around, flashing lights, road markings,” he said.
“They’re prominent and it is easy to tell so there’s no excuse.”
He said people should be reminded one extra demerit point applied to any infringement notice given to a driver in a school zone.
Failure to adhere to school zone speed limits could be costly for motorists, with fines up to $425 for exceeding the zone by under 10 km/h and a loss of two demerit points.
Exceeding the speed limit over 10 kmh could result in a loss of four demerit points and a $531 fine.
The 40 km/h school zones operate from 8am to 9:30am and 2:30pm to 4pm.
Orange and Cabonne Road Safety Officer Andrea Hamilton-Vaughan said the 40 km/h school zone speed limit must be observed even if school children can’t be seen.
“A safe return to school can be achieved if everyone plays a role to protect school children,” Andrea Hamilton-Vaughan said.
Orange drivers gave the government about $533,000 worth of fines for speeding in a school zone in the last financial year.

Canobolas Local Area Command awards acknowledge help from Peter and the police
MATT FINDLAY
THE contributions and achievements of the region’s police officers were celebrated at yesterday’s Canobolas Local Area Command (CLAC) awards ceremony, but it wasn’t just the officers being recognised.
Emily Watson, a year 12 student at Orange High School, was on hand at the Orange Agriculture Institute to accept the CLAC certificate of appreciation on behalf of her father Peter Watson, who provided valuable assistance to ambulance officers at an incident on Huntley Road last year.
Mr Watson stopped on the side of the road to assist ambulance officers subdue an unruly patient, enabling them to call for further assistance and helping to resolve a volatile situation in the process.
Miss Watson, who was also present at the incident, said she was proud to be accepting such an award on her father’s behalf.
“I am proud, he couldn’t be here today and I saw what happened. He told me to stay in the car, but I didn’t,” she laughed.
“The ambulance officers were wrestling with a patient, about 100 metres away from their van. One of the ambulance officers was hit by the patient, and they couldn’t leave him to call for assistance.
“Dad helped them so they could call for assistance. It was a pretty scary situation, a lot of people wouldn’t have stopped, so I’m very proud of him for doing that.”
Officers from around the region received medals for long service, clasps, certificates of merit and commendations during the ceremony, and CLAC Superintendent Shane Cribb was on hand for the presentation.
“These awards are very important,” he said. “Our police work 24 hours a day putting their lives at risk, and it’s very important we recognise their achievements and their years of service.
“It’s a very demanding profession, and 10 years in one profession is a long time in this kind of occupation. We saw here, there was people getting recognised for 25 and 30 years’ service.
“It’s tough to work in one profession for 30 years at all, let alone one so demanding. We’re incredibly grateful for their efforts, and it’s important for the community to see the kind of effort they go to as well.
“The public often doesn’t see what happens when the police are out protecting them, looking after them and making sure their safe.
“I’m incredibly proud to be a part of it, it’s fantastic.”

Gundy death referred to Royal Commission
SYDNEY: The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody is to investigate the death of David Gundy, who was shot dead during a police raid on his home in April this year.
Commissioner Hal Wootten, QC, said yesterday that Mr Gundy’s case would be added to the list of deaths to be investigated.
No date has yet been set for the hearing, although it is not expected to start until next year.
It had been expected there would be legal argument as to whether Mr Gundy’s death fell within the commission’s jurisdiction, but yesterday that jurisdiction was not disputed.
In a written submission, counsel for the State Government, Michael Finnane, QC, said armed police involved in the raid had taken up positions at the front and back of Mr Gundy’s house to prevent anyone leaving.
He said in those circumstances the State Government accepted that Mr Gundy and everyone else in the house was “in a real sense in custody of the police officers at the relevant time”.
Counsel assisting the commission, Stephen Norrish, QC, and James Barnett, counsel for Mr Gundy’s widow Doreen Eatts, backed the State Government view.
But counsel for the Police Association, Peter Dailly, said he had been instructed not to make any submission either way.
David Gundy, 32, was killed by a shotgun blast when police from the Special Weapons and Operations Squad raided his home at Marrickville, in Sydney’s inner west, early on April 27.
Detective Sergeant Terry Dawson told the Gundy inquest his shotgun fired accidentally when Mr Gundy attempted to take it from him during a brief struggle.
At the time police were hunting for John Porter, 27, over the shooting of two police officers in the city three days earlier. One of the officers subsequently died.
Porter was not found in the raid on Mr Gundy’s home or at any of the other five Sydney homes raided at the same time. He was arrested in Queensland on May 3 and is now awaiting trial.
At the end of a two-month inquest, a jury found police had acted in the course of their duty and that Mr Gundy’s death was an accident.
Outside the commission, Mr Norrish said the commission would have a brief to investigate the conduct of the inquest and specifically look at some issues not examined by State Coroner Kevin Waller.
He said he could not pre-empt the areas of investigation at this stage. But one possible avenue might be the suggestion that advanced notice of the raid was given to some members of the press.

Peter 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.
In January 2019, Peter was in a Nursing Home at Cronulla, after having suffered a severe stroke.
On the 4 November 2010, Tako received a life saving bone marrow transplant from an unknown donor from Germany.
Tako was told then ( 2010 ) that 2 years post transplant will gravely reduce the return of the disease, but if he could reach the 5 year mark, he will have beaten the beast.
On 4 November 2015, ( 5 years later ) Tako posted a FB status that he had “beaten the beast” and was cancer free.
Tako certainly went through the wars with his health and we wish him a pain free eternity.
Deepest condolences to his wife Samantha, son Mitch & daughter Georgia.
My Peter forever Rest In Peace.
Tako, after his retirement, was the NSW Police Football coach for the team taking part in the Australasion Games.

Congratulations to all the winner on #FoundersDay @stmichaels_golf.
The club could not have asked for a better day to host the Annual Founders Day. With only a small crowd attending the short service, it was still great to see the tradition is still alive and the club is hoping to attract a few more patrons to next years service. A big thank you to Fr Paul Foley for running the mass this mornings mass. Ken Earl (Club President) for enduring a day of waiting inside all day for everyone to finish (due to an injury) to present the winners of the day and Lyndell Undy (Lady President) for all her contributions in making the day run smoothly.
1st President’s Trophy Men’s – John Lee + 7
Runner Up Men’s – Ian Clark + 3 c/b
1st President’s Trophy Ladies – Sandy Dunn + 5
Runner Up Ladies – Lyndell Undy + 2 c/b
2B Winners – Alan & Carolyn Davis – + 11
Runners Up – Pat McKaig & Sandy Dunn + 10
Just a short note for those who knew Ken EARL. I was in the cadets with Ken in 1962. The 6 ft 9 in gentle giant became a very talented Police Prosecutor saving a lot of good cops and then a Barrister. He is presently experiencing ill health and has been on dialysis for some years. He is President of St Michael’s Golf Club and still reports in there. A call from those who knew him might cheer him up a bit. 0417 221 112.

We are very sorry to report that the lovely Betty Jordan died this morning.
Betty joined our Police Legatee family in 1985 when her husband Senior Constable James Jordan died.
She was a long-time dedicated volunteer for NSW Police Legacy, and was instrumental in getting our Local Area Lunches program off the ground – a program that continues to bring together Police Legatees all around the State. She also organised monthly morning teas independent of NSWPL, and created a strong support network for many elderly Police Legatees, where her passion for helping others added genuine warmth to so many people’s lives.
Betty celebrated her 90th birthday in March.
RIP Betty, you will be sadly missed. ????????????
