Robert wore a WW11 Ribbon bar on his Police uniform.
At the time of him being a Sgt 3/c at Rose Bay in 1967, he is described as being polite but ‘removed’ from those junior to him and shared no conversation at all with those junior members.
Robert gained his Sgt 2/c rank whilst still at Rose Bay.
When he was stationed at Sutherland, in the 1970’s as an Inspector and Officer In Charge of that Station, he seemed further ‘removed’.
Nothing further can be found, at this time, on this man or his career.
Further information ( photos / stories ) are sought.

A Ferny Creek woman, 35, is lucky to be alive after her car rolled and crashed into trees on One Tree Hill Rd last Sunday afternoon. Belgrave Leading Senior Constable Andrew Allen said the woman, who was the sole occupant, had left home and was travelling west towards Churchill Drive when the car left the road and rolled before coming to rest between three large trees. Leading Sen-Constable Allen said the woman was taken to The Alfred hospital by ambulance with “what appeared to be minor injuries”, including some chest pain. Police are waiting to speak with the woman but speed was believed to be a factor. “It was a fine day, there were no other contributing factors at this stage,” Leading Sen-Constable Allen said.

Leading Senior Constable Andrew Allen said that after 11pm on Friday, 21 August, someone had blotched black paint on a white fence in Hilton Road in Sassafras.
He said the part of the fence was a white pillar with an antique light on top, and that black paint had been blotched on it.

FRANK is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance
May they forever Rest In Peace
Frank Metz was a caring family man, a dedicated police officer and an ‘adventurer’
Wagga Daily Advertiser 13 March, 2019
Colleagues remember Frank Metz’s as a distinguished NSW police officer, but his family remember a wonderful husband and a caring father with a dry wit.
Francis Metz, fondly known as Frank, passed away on February 22 at 92 years of age. He joined the NSW Police Cadets on January 4, 1944, and that kicked off an illustrious career.
His wife, Margaret, said they met at Quandialla when Frank was there relieving the permanent officer.
“I was on a bus trip to the Ballinaclash Orchard when a busload of young people went cherry picking,” she said.
“It was raining and we had to go to the pictures, and | from there the rest is history. We were married in 1950.”
Margaret said he was a wonderful husband, father and policeman and she very proud of him in anything that he did.
Son, Robert Metz, said the movement around NSW was a real testament to the frequency of his dad’s promotions.
“Within his police career and with the moves, he eventually ended up a superintendent, the officer in charge of the Riverina District,” he said.
The Metz family moved to Wagga in 1984 for the job and Frank retired in 1986.
“They decided to enjoy their retired life together in Wagga,” Robert said.
“Lots of travel for leisure and for the family.
“While Mum and Dad’s family was expanding, he did everything he could to support his children through their journey as parents.
“Nothing was too much for Dad.”
His daughters Marianne Flowers and Louise McDermott said their father made everything into an adventure.
“He was always getting us to try new things like apples, sultanas and honey sandwiches,” Marianne said.
“When mum was working in the school holidays, dad used to take us off on day trip adventures,” Louise said.
Marianne said Frank taught all the children to stand up for what was right and to be fair and respectful and he had a dry sense of humour.
“He used to say ‘how can I soar like an eagle when I am surrounded by turkeys’,” she said.
Margaret said he dedicated his time and efforts to the Rotary, the Albion Park Bush Fire Brigade, the Retired Police Association of NSW and the Association of Independent Retirees.
“I would also like to thank the police for their contribution to the funeral,” she said. “When they stopped the traffic, I knew he would have loved that. Also, thank you to the staff at the Forrest Centre for caring for him.”

Hi Cal,
A bit of info on Frank Metz, who I clerked for at the newly established Warilla Division. He came up from ( Inspector 3/C ) Bega Division in the very late 1970’s, and took over from Dave Cooper, Inspector 2/C, who opened the new Warilla Division ( Lake Entrance Rd ) as OIC. Dave made Inspector 1/C and moved up to the Blue Mountains somewhere.
In those days a Divisional OIC had to live within the area of his command to get the cheap rental of an “official” Police residence. There were no such “official” Police residences in the Warilla Division for the OIC, as the Division was only established when the new Warilla Police Station was built and opened in 1976, and “official” Police residences were mostly no longer being built for Divisional OIC’s. In fact the whole Government Policy on “official” residences was changing at that time and most “official” residences were reverting to “economic rental” residences, when occupants changed. There were extenuating circumstances in areas where suitable rental accommodation was not available, mostly remote country areas, but any such new residences were “economic rentals”. The one exception to all this were Lockup Keeper residences which remained with the position.
Because Frank wanted to live in Kiama, which was part of the Nowra Division at the time, but also wanted to benefit from the rental of an “official” residence, he managed to get Kiama shifted from the Nowra Division into the Warilla Division. It was a very logical move as Kiama was 10 minutes from Warilla but 30 minutes from Nowra (all with lights and siren) although Nowra and Kiama troops didn’t agree with the change at the time. Frank also wanted to live in Kiama as he was a keen bowler and belonged to the Kiama bowling club.
The new Police Stations at Warilla, Queanbeyan, and Nowra were all built and opened in the same year and I “clerked” at all of them from 1979 to 1982, ending up at Nowra Division in late 1982 (followed Ann Todkill at Nowra). I left Warilla for Queanbeyan early in 1981 where Ross Gorham was the OIC. Dennis Catt was the OIC at Nowra when I started there.
Cheers,
Ian Avery.

Death on Duty – 8352 Senior Firefighter George BALDOCK:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you of the passing of 8352 Senior Firefighter George Baldock.
George passed away in hospital today ( 270219 ) following a medical episode while on duty.
George has been with Fire and Rescue NSW for 17 years and worked within the Fire Safety Unit and Liverpool Fire Station.
George was a well-respected member of both his immediate team and a valued member of the wider Fire and Rescue NSW family.
We are in close contact with George’s immediate family and have directed all available resources to support his wife Bree and his three children ( who are all under 6 years old ) as well as those affected. I encourage anyone who is affected by George’s passing to utilise Fire and Rescue NSW’s Employee Assistance Program on 1300 360 364.
Some very sad news to report that one of our men has tragically passed.
George Baldock, known as Gorgeous George around our club, was on duty for the firies as he has been for 17 years when he suffered a medical episode.
George was a prolific wicket keeping all rounder for us but more importantly a great bloke and a genuine asset to any team.
Rest In Peace George. Gone way too soon

George, thank you for all your friendship, your kind heart, your sense of humour and your honesty. I will always cherish our friendship and you will be forever missed. Rest easy my friend and I will see you soon
Alex lit a candle for George Baldock
George you were great to work with and we used to have ‘frank’ talks in the truck at Liverpool Police Station. You were professional, knowledgeable and had a lot of patience when dealing with me and other junior police. Every shift your hair was done perfectly with not a strand out of place, you always insisted upon driving (perhaps because you were scared of my driving) and you used to try and talk me out of getting McDonalds on each occasion. You were a great mentor to have around. Hearing the eulogies today, it appears that everyone had as much respect for you as what I did and you will be dearly missed by all.

You were taken away from us too young. You were very passionate in everything you did. I will never forget you. You will always remain in my heart. I’m so sorry I never got to say goodbye. My heart is broken. My you Rest in Peace.
