SERGEANT D. ALCHIN.

Detective-sergeant Donald Alchin died at the Royal North Shore Hospital yesterday at the age of 52 years.

Detective-sergeant Alchin Joined the police force in 1907, and served a short period in uniform before being transferred to the plainclothes branch, and then to the Criminal Investigation Branch.

He was very successful as a detective, and played a leading part in solving a number of crimes, most important, perhaps, being his work in securing the clue which led to the arrest of an Italian gang at the Commercial Banking Company’s branch in Castlereagh-street a few years ago.

The gang was arrested red-handed on the premises.

Detective Alchin is survived by Mrs. Alchin and a young son.

The Interment will take place in the Northern Suburbs Cemetery this afternoon, after a service at Christ Church. Lavender Bay, commencing at 2 o’clock.

Too Clever for ” The King “

DETECTIVE SERGEANT ” DON ” ALCHIN DEAD

Recognised as a man who knew more about foreign criminals and their methods than anyone in the Criminal Investigation Branch, the police force lost one of its cleverest detectives by the death, after a long illness, of Det-Sergeant Donald Alchin.

If ‘Don’ Alchin had done nothing else of note in a career of over twenty years, he would have been entitled to the great reputation he had in the C.I.B. for his work in the sensational arrest of Lucci ( ” The King ” ) and his famous gang of Italian cracksmen.

Australia has never known a gang so daring, so cunning, and so successful in their operations, as the Italian of whom Lucci, son of an Italian police chief, was leader.

Using giant cutters and tools which opened safes as if they had been made of tin, the gang brought off coup after coup, outwitting detectives at every turn. Det.Sergeant Alchin was the man who finally got on their tracks, and after weeks of relentless search finally ran them to earth.

It was Alchin who learnt of their plans to rob a Castlereagh Street bank, and he was the leader of a posse of detectives who arrested the gang at revolver-point just as they were about to set to work on a strong-room confining thousands of pounds.

Alchin brought to book many foreign criminals, mainly Italians, and was an expert on coining cases.

( The Police Band will be in attendance at the funeral which leaves his residence, Dudley Ave, Roseville, for the Northern Suburbs Cemetery this afternoon. )

Wagga Police mourn death of Chief Inspector Anthony (Tony) Madigan

Police officers came to honour the memory of chief inspector Anthony Madigan, who died on Tuesday after a long and decorated career in the force.

He will be remembered for his unwavering work ethic and dedication to his community, evidenced by the vast collection of medals that were on display at his funeral on Friday.

During his career he was awarded some of the highest honours a police officer can receive, including the Australia Police Medal and National Police Service Medal for his lifetime’s accomplishments.

The medals were distributed among his family members, who will be keeping them to remember the long-lasting impact he made on the community.

His wife Wendy Madigan will be remember him as a dutiful family man who always found ways to make time for his five children and five grandchildren.

“He was a loving husband, an amazing father, and a really amazing grandfather,” Mrs Madigan said.

“He was also a very humble man; he never bragged about anything.”

Mrs Madigan was married to Mr Madigan for 58 years, but she still remembers the first time they met as though it were yesterday.

The two of them first locked eyes on each other in Sydney when they were only 19 and 20 years old, and they would quickly fall in love and end up sharing lifetime together.

“I was introduced to him by a friend of mine who was a police officer and, as they say in the classics, the rest is history,” Mrs Madigan said.

“The 58 years went in a heartbeat.”

Mr Madigan’s son Brendan Madigan he took some consolation knowing that his dad lived a good life right up until the very end.

“Mum and dad had a love of travel over the last 25 years, so they enjoyed a lot of overseas travel together and they shared a lot of memories,” Brendan said.

“He was a great father.”

Chief Inspector Paul Smith said Mr Madigan was “a policeman through and through”, and that his death was a loss to the entire NSW Police Force.

“Tony approached life and his career as a police officer with determination, confidence, and enthusiasm,” Inspector Smith said.

“At the end of his career Sergeant Tony Madigan had provided over 36 years of outstanding service to the NSW Police Force and the community of NSW.”

Policewoman’s suicide shocks workmates

CourierMail

POLICEWOMAN shot and killed herself with her own gun at a suburban police complex yesterday. The tragedy has stunned workmates.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Belinda Cush, 37, walked into the Queensland Police complex in Wecker Rd at Mansfield, picked up her police-issue Glock pistol, fired a shot into a chair and then turned the weapon on herself.

Queensland Police Union president Cameron Pope said she greeted colleagues when she arrived at the Prostitution Enforcement Task force just after 8am but then did not speak to anyone before the shooting.

“There is nothing that we have seen or that I am aware of that could have prevented this incident,” Mr Pope said. “There has not been a single issue raised that I’m aware of that was an indicator to this incident.”

He said her workmates were struggling to cope with the tragedy, the reasons for which remain a mystery.

” Several police were actually there when it happened, ” he said. “Between the service and the union, counselling is being provided to any number of persons who require it and that’ll be monitored closely to make sure that all the officers who’ve suffered from this can get as much treatment as possible. ”

Det Snr-Sgt Cush worked in various ” high-profile areas of the service ” and was very well-respected, he said.

” I spoke to her officer-in-charge this morning and he was very distressed about the matter and he was very glowing in his description and praise of her, ” Mr Pope said.

” She was very highly regarded by members of the service and certainly her superior officers. There were a lot of platitudes coming out for this lady. ”

In addition to the police chaplains, Mr Pope said officers had a number of support services to assist with the daily demands and stresses of police work.

” In every police establishment there is what’s called a peer support officer who police can approach about any issue. There’s also human support officers who check the daily occurrence sheets and follow up officers involved in major incidents and of course there’s the police chaplains who do a wonderful job, ” he said.

In the past 10 years, there have been two other incidents of police officers taking their own lives at work at Ipswich and Smithfield stations.

” It’s not a prevalent problem, thank goodness, ” Mr Pope said.

The Prostitution Enforcement Task force is one of several ” specialised ” units that operates out of the police building in Wecker Road, and it investigates complaints about illegal prostitution.

A QPS spokesperson said the circumstances of Det Snr-Sgt Cush’s death were being investigated, but it was considered non-suspicious. A report will be completed for the coroner

Dave Whiteman
I remember being a Pro at Manly in the early 70’s when Nev used to swing by the station in the evening after his regular fishing trips. He’d drop a bag of fish on the counter and offer them to anyone who wanted a feed. This went on for months and many took a few fish home for dinner…. until one night someone asked him how come he always got a good bagful of fish and where did he catch them. “There’s plenty down in the Murk at North Head. I always get a good feed there.” Nev revealed! R.I.P. The Owl.
  • Kenneth Bulger
    Dave Whiteman, I remember that. Never took any though. I knew where he caught them. Frank Daniels caught many black fish off North Head too.
