Hi colleagues

It is with great sadness that I notify all of you that serving officer Detective Senior Constable Margi Saunders (Moran) of Albury Police passed away this morning, 28 September 2019 after a long illness.

Funeral details will be advised to all of you as soon as they become available.

Kind Regards
Beth

Lorrae Williams:
I remember the first time I met Margy she was relieving as a Duty Officer and turned up at a serious MVA just out of Albury and I was mobile supervisor, having only been stationed at Albury for about a day at that stage.
I remember thinking what a tough, hard nosed, female cop…but as the years went on, I soon got used to Margy’s no nonsense approach and straight shooting personality. I learnt who to go to for advice when I had something a bit out of the ordinary to investigate or if I needed advice, even about workplace conditions…it was Margy.
She was undoubtedly the most experienced, intelligent and humble Detective I ever met in nearly twenty years of policing. I always appreciated any advice Margy gave me and I knew my investigations would be the best they could be, if I followed her instructions.
When Margy wasn’t investigating serious crimes, murders etc, she was raising her beloved daughter, along with her husband.
Margy touched the lives of so many people…more than she probably ever realised. I am privileged to have known her.
RIP Margy…you have served your community well. Xx

 

Deepest condolences to husband Rob and daughter Majella.

 

Albury police officer Detective Senior Constable Marg Saunders has been publicly remembered and praised after dying following a tumour diagnosis

  • Anthony Bunn
    Updated September 30 2019 – 7:36pm, first published 7:35pm
    DECORATED Albury police veteran Marg Saunders has been saluted as part of National Police Remembrance Day after dying at the age of 56 from a brain tumour.

It was on an honour roll of NSW police members who have died over the past year.

Albury Inspector Owen Hill told The Border Mail after the service that Detective Senior Constable Saunders “was loved and respected in the region, particularly here in Albury”.

“It’s very raw for the serving members,” Inspector Hill said, with some colleagues in tears following the memorial.

“It adds that level more significance about why we’re here today.”

Detective Senior Constable Saunders passed away on Saturday.

She had been in the police force for 38 years, having stints at Sydney stations, before serving in Albury from 1986.

In 2012, the police commissioner presented Detective Senior Constable Saunders with a NSW-wide local hero award with a citation declaring her an “outstanding role model and mentor to general duties officers”.

It continued: “She has been a front line officer for her entire career and is known for her professionalism and strong work ethic.”

Detective Senior Constable Saunders’ other great community contribution was in the water polo world.

She was a life member of the Ovens and Murray association and Albury Water Polo Club.

Tigers president Zoe Singer described her as the “heart” of the club.

“The club will never be the same without her, never ever,” Ms Singer said.

“She will be remembered every time somebody touches the water.

“She was one of the biggest personalities in the club.”

In April, Detective Senior Constable Saunders won a C grade best and fairest, which followed a premiership in 2017-18 and decades of service via junior development and committee roles, including president and treasurer.

Detective Senior Constable Saunders is survived by husband of 26 years Rob Moran and daughter Majella, 23.

A full police funeral will be held at Albury’s Hovell Tree Park from 11am Friday.

Tributes and tears have flowed following the death of long-serving police officer and water polo lionheart Marg Saunders.

I believe I worked with Eddie Doran in 1978, at Sutherland Police Station.

I was in my probation, he was a Senior Constable, living in Helensburgh at that time.

I remember him as a “real country copper”, a good bloke who was steady, thorough and unexcitable.

A likeable guy, possessed of the type of methodical work ethic that was a feature of “country coppers” at that time.

 

RIP Eddie.

 

Graham King

 

Peter Wallace Eddie Doran was one of the first coppers I ever worked with.

I can still see him perched up on the stool next to the old switch at Sutherland in the temporary public entrance during renovations.

One day, me and Col Graham did a snake job at Woronora River, brought the dead snake back to the station, and put it in the mail bag. Eddie was in the station, emptied the mail bag on the counter, and out came the snake. Eddie took off backpedaling and stuttering across the station. We were lucky we didn’t cause him to leave us that day.

Rest in peace Eddie.

Bob Waites Rest In Peace Pete. He skied with us for many years as part of the Moose Patrol. A group of cops who started skiing together 36 years ago.
Ben Pearson Pete was a fellow class mate (we were the last of the old 12 week classes before modified PREP) and was larger than life even during class 232.
I often laugh about the water pistol fights between towers 7 and 8 that we both took part in.
Lots of great memories of a gentleman, scallywag and a genuine great bloke.
So sorry to hear of your loss – way too young for you to go my friend.
In the words of one of our instructors – Sgt Bruce Magee – “Stand easy Trainee”, but I would add “we will take it from here”.

R.I.P. PETER MATHEWS

Yesterday, Peter was tragically killed in a two motorcycle collision near RYLSTONE, NSW whilst returning from ‘The Annual WALL 2 WALL ride’.

A Dr Keith BRENNAN was on the scene with Peter receiving Emergency care by the subject doctor and fellow members of “The Newy Crew” who tried desperately to bring him home. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful with Peter passing away in the care of his mates…

Thoughts go out to his wife Kate & family

Rest peacefully my old mate Peter. I will miss you mate and your friendship. You were a great husband, dad, son and cop. I loved working with you Pete as you never took a step backwards and had a heart like Pharlap. You always had our backs in Hunter Region SWOS and even everyday policing, especially helping you out with your multitude of important search warrants. I loved playing touch footy with you mate and we pulled the hell out a lot bigger guys in the tug -o- war at the Sydney police Olympics in 1988. You adored your beautiful wife Kate and your family. I hope they are all okay but am sure they are hurting terribly and missing you so much. Till we catch up again brother, rest well and be proud that you lived a wonderful life and was loved by all of us.
Your brother Dazza  x
