FRED 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.
Frederick Hanson was born the eldest of four children to Ernest Frederick Hanson and Vera Marie Hanson. He did not remain in Orange for long before moving to Burwood where he was educated at the Christian Brother’s Saint Mary’s Boy’s School. He became a jeweller’s assistant before being hired as a porter with the New South Wales Government Railways. Hanson joined the New South Wales Police on 7 September 1936 at the age of 22 and the next year was posted to Broken Hill where, in the Sacred Heart Cathedral, he married Carole Louise Whitehall with Catholic rites on 9 November 1938. In 1940 Hanson was transferred to plain clothes duties.[1]
Military service
Hanson served in the Citizen Air Force from 1932 to 1936 and obtained a private pilot licence in 1939. On 31 January 1942 he was transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force. Commissioned on 14 January 1943, Hanson served as a pilot in Britain, the Middle East and Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and was mentioned in despatches. On 30 January 1946 he was demobilized as acting squadron leader and returned to the police.[1]
Policing career
Hanson was promoted to the rank of Constable (first class) while on active service and briefly posted to the vice squad before being transferred to the police air wing as Sergeant (third class).
Such rapid advancement in an organization which was committed to seniority based promotion resulted in a number of appeals. The first appeal was rejected and the remainder were withdrawn which allowed Hanson to overtake more than a thousand other police on the seniority list. After this he became known as ‘Slippery’.
The air wing was disbanded in 1950 and Hanson then moved to the new Number 21 Mobile Division.
He returned to Broken Hill in 1953 and was promoted to Sergeant (first class) in 1955.
Hanson served as an Inspector (third class) and also officer in charge at Bega (1959–62) and Wollongong (1962–64) before moving to the Metropolitan Police District as a Superintendent (third class).
After attendance at the Australian Police College in 1963, Hanson rose to Superintendent (first class) and Assistant Metropolitan Superintendent in 1967.[1]
Hanson was appointed Assistant Commissioner in 1968, Deputy Commissioner on 14 January 1972 and Commissioner on 15 November 1972.
That year he also attended the general assembly of the International Criminal Police Organization at Frankfurt, Germany.
In 1974 he visited the Australian police contingent at Cyprus.
While Commissioner Hanson introduced merit rating, abolished seniority in executive promotions and also established the crime intelligence unit.
By objecting to New South Wales Police Association attempts to gain greater access to the Industrial Commission of New South Wales he sparked contention.
Hanson gained widespread support in 1975 when he initiated aggressive street patrols to counter hoodlum activity, however he failed to control illegal gambling which was to become a major public issue.
In 1976 Hanson sued the then Australian Broadcasting Commission for defamation when it had been suggested that he had a financial interest in an illegal casino situated at Gosford; the case was later settled out of court.[1]
Retirement
Pressured to resign after adverse publicity, he delayed doing so until he was replaced in 1976 by his preferred successor and air wing colleagueMervyn Wood.
Further allegations of corruption were made against Hanson in the 1980s.
Hanson was a modest however humorous man, he kept his family life extremely private. He was a noted practical joker and esteemed by his subordinates for his genuine interest in their welfare, his readiness to delegate responsibility and his unwillingness to be hindered by red tape.
Survived by his wife, Hanson died from carbon monoxide poisoning by inhalation on the night of 25 to 26 October 1980 at his Terrigal home; the Coroner dispensed with an inquest and Hanson was cremated.[1]
Corruption allegations
There were persistent allegations about Hanson’s involvement in organised crime, and was repeatedly claimed that he corruptly received payments from criminals and that he was the part-owner of an illegal casino at Gosford, in which former detective Ray “Gunner” Kelly is also alleged to have had an interest.
Hanson featured prominently in The Prince and the Premier, the 1985 book by investigative journalist David Hickie, which canvassed allegations of corruption against senior NSW government officials, including Premier Robert Askin and senior police including Norman Allan, Hanson and Merv Wood.
Hickie specifically named both Allan and Hanson as corrupt, stating that they knowingly allowed illegal casinos and illegal SP (off-track) betting to flourish in NSW. Citing an “impeccable” and highly placed source within the illegal gaming empire established by Perc Galea, Hickie alleged that Askin and his police commissioners, Allan and Hanson, were paid bribes amounting to A$100,000 per year from 1967 until Askin’s retirement.[2]
Another of Hickie’s informants, a former croupier at Galea’s Double Bay Bridge Club, claimed that A$5000 per week from the club was paid in bribes to Hanson and Askin.[3] Hickie also notes that Hanson was among the mourners at Galea’s funeral in 1976.[4]
In 1979John Hatton, an independent politician claimed in the New South Wales Parliament that Askin and Hanson knew of and may have even encouraged the penetration of Australian crime by “overseas mobsters, gangsters and the Mafia“.[citation needed]
Today was the funeral for Sgt Stephen BUTLER (Ret) at Palmdale of the Central Coast. Was estimated that 400 were in attendance many of whom were retired members. The family were most appreciative Thank you

A Pop, Father, Son and Husband too
A serving officer of our country who we lost too soon
The smile, the giggle and the cheeky attitude
Are only a few of the many ways we will remember you
We saw the suffering and we felt the pain

As time went on you began to fade away
But inside all of us your memory remains
Although our hearts ache and our souls bleed
Your legacy lives on in all of us and your spirit is free
We love you now and will forever
Your life is and always will be treasured
So watch over us for now and we will see you again soon

Fly like an eagle Ian, love and miss you. So happy you are free of pain.
My dad’s name is Ian Hollins and he has been a police officer for 30 years. He is a loving father of 4, husband, son, brother, uncle and poppy to 2 beautiful little girls. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. This is his story. Early last year, my dad had a small mole on his hip that had never been a concern in the past and i doubt he even knew was there. He walked through a door and bumped the mole. It immediately grew to 12cm in diameter. Dad ignored the pain and continued to work through it for months. My mum had noticed the mole leaking and could see that it was making my dad very uncomfortable. But instead of going to the dr, my dad worked through the pain and got on with his job. By this stage simple things and getting out of the police car and wearing a gun belt were excruciating. Yet he continued.. The pain became too much to handle so my dad drove himself down to the emergency room at Nickol Bay Hospital in Karratha. The drs took one look at him, took a scan, and delivered the news to my dad. It was in fact an aggressive melanoma that had spread to the lymph nodes, lung and ribcage. My dad was diagnosed with melanoma in October 2015 at 49 years of age. We knew it was going to be a long and difficult road, especially living in Karratha! The police department transferred my dad to Lancelin WA to be closer to medical help and to his family. My darling mum had to leave her job to help look after my dad. Since october he has had 2 major surgeries, treatments, countless appointments, scans and tests and he is still fighting. It wasn’t until he had a seizure in june 2016 we then realised that the melanoma had spread to his brain. Another major bump in the road but we will continue to fight! So i am starting up this go fund me page to help out my parents with travel, appointment costs, treatments, medicines and accommodation for the family if things become very hard. Money should be the last thing they need to stress about and i feel this will help my dad along his way and get him the best treatment possible! We are refusing to give up on him. Thank you to all of our family and friends. You have all been so wonderful and we are incredibly lucky to have you. My dad is a brave wonderful man and is an asset to the police department and to the community. Please help us fight!

Hey everyone! Just an update on my dad! He will be having his last radiation treatment next monday! The radiotherapy makes him very tired and a little light headed but apart from that he is doing ok. Time to work on getting his strength back and putting on the weight he has lost. Thankyou all for your donations and kind wishes. He will beat this. Love from Courtney xx

Hey guys! I know a lot of you have been asking me how dad has been going so i thought i would update everyone at once. For the last couple of weeks dad has been very sick and lethargic. We decided to take him to joondalup hospital last Sunday where we waited 7 hours in emergency! Poor dad was very frail which was heartbreaking for us to see as we are used to this big strong cop! They finally got him through and tried taking some blood which was nearly impossible with him being as dehydrated as he was. Tests come back and yes it was severe dehydration. Dad spent 4 nights in hospital. A couple of drs delivered the same news “ian we can’t do anything else for you” which is bullshit. Dad is out of hospital now looking better! We WILL keep fighting and trying everything!! No one can tell us otherwise. HOLLINS blood is strong ❤

My father’s day present to dad was a ticket to the Eagles prelim final tonight! From as long as i can remember, dad has been a die hard eagles fan and not once has had the chance to go to a live game. I remember when i was young, rolling my eyes as he swore and screamed at the tv during a game. Definitely a passionate fan! Have the best night dad!! This will give him the boost he needs❤ thankfully he is having a good day:)

Hey everyone! Once again thank you for the shares and donations! I’m boosting this post as we have more plans in place.

So here’s the latest news on dad for everyone who has been asking:)
Dad’s radiologist, Professor Spry has started more radiation on the new tumours that have appeared around dads original operation site. Professor sounds confident that this will fix them quick.This means that dad is back at the Genesis Cancer lodge where the wonderful Jo and Ron will look after dad. The immunotherapy treatments have failed and the last round put dad in hospital and nearly killed him so we are sticking to the radiation and alternative medicines
Dad is in a massive amount of pain which affects him for long car rides and sitting in general but the radiation should start to reduce the tumours right away! Dad has his good days and terrible ones but everyone’s positivity is giving him the boost to keep fighting! We will try everything because this man is special. Thank you again to everyone. Love from the Hollins family❤

Last Wednesday dad took a turn for the worse. We had to call the ambo to take him from lancelin to joondalup hospital. Dad was dehydrated and in absolute agony. He’s back at home since yesterday everyone is keeping a close eye on him. I would share the recent photos of his tumours all over his lower back but the pictures are quite shocking. Dad cries with pain and it breaks our heart because we wish we could do more. The doctors have given up hope but we NEVER will! Miracles happen everyday. ❤

This is an update to everyone who has helped with love, positive vibes and donations to my dad’s fund. I want to thank you on behalf of my dad and the family. This fund helped take the stress of dad in his final months. Love to you all.
1:15pm today we lost our beautiful, strong brave father. He fought so hard until his last breath. He knew we were by his side and he waited to say goodbye to every single one of his loved ones. I have never ever been so proud of one man like I was my dad. We fought for him but his time was up. He will remain in our hearts and through the hearts of the thousands of people he fought for. While our hearts are broken his memory will remain for as long as we will. We love you dad. We will make you so proud dad. See you on the other side and don’t worry about mum…we will take care of her❤
To everyone who has donated thank you so much, sometimes we set goals all in hope that we can get somewhere close. In just one day we’ve almost reached our goal. You are all so wonderful, we cannot thank you enough for your generosity Xxx

Sad to hear about Pat’s passing, he was a great bloke. I first came across him when he was stationed in Lithgow around 1970, I was attached to Bathurst STP and then I was again with him at Wollongong.

Hi Cal,
Wasn’t Pat our Sgt 2/C or Sgt 1/C at Warilla HWP. Maybe he was replaced by Lionel Benson as Sgt 1/C.
I left there in 1988 and he had already gone, I think he was promoted to Inspector but he didn’t stay at Warilla as an Insp.

Constable charged
SYDNEY, Monday. — A 22-year-old probationary constable will appear in Burwood Court tomorrow after the wounding of a *37-year-old senior constable at Ashfield Police Station early today.
A CIB spokesman said tonight the probationary constable was charged by police with shooting with intent to murder.
The injured policeman, Senior Constable Laurence Orchard, was discharged from Western Suburbs Hospital late today after having a rifle bullet removed from his right forearm.
* If the age of 37, in this article, is correct – then this article refers to a different Laurence Orchard because, in 1970, Laurence George ORCHARD would have been 40 years old.

Shooting charge
SYDNEY, Tuesday. —
A suspended probationary constable charged with shooting Senior Constable Laurence Orchard at Ashfield Police Station yesterday appeared in Central Court today.
He is Karl Herman Kemper, 21, of Holden Street. Ashfield.Kemper was charged with shooting Constable Orchard with intent to murder him, and on another charge with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr W. Lewer, SM, remanded Kemper to appear on April 13.
Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995), Saturday 17 April 1971, page 8
Five-year bond for shot at policeman
SYDNEY, Friday. — . A former probationary constable was convicted and released on a five-year bond today when he pleaded guilty to maliciously wounding a fellow police officer with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Mr Karl Herman Kemper, 21, baker, of Ryde, masked and holding a rifle, pushed open a back door of the Ashfield police station early on March 23 last year and confronted Senior Constable Orchard.
Mr Kemper then pointed the rifle at Constable Orchard and advanced towards him, Sydney Quarter Sessions was told today.
The rifle fired and the two men grappled.
Abrasions to face
As a result of the struggle Constable Orchard received abrasions to the face and a back injury and was wounded in the arm by a ricocheting bullet.
During the struggle Mr Kemper dropped a loaded pistol on to the floor.
The pistol was identified later as belonging to Mr Kemper, Detective Sergeant F. Marshall told the court.
Police then went to Mr Kemper‘s flat and although he feigned sleep, the radiator of his car was still warm, and his shoes were wet. Sergeant Marshall said.
Mr Kemper had at first denied the attack but later had admitted it.
His only explanation was that he intended playing a practical joke on his flatmate, a Constable Ohmsen.
Judge Robson, sentencing Mr Kemper, said he believed that it was more than a practical joke.
Late of Taree and formerly of Penrith. Passed away peacefully on Thursday 29th September 2016.
Aged 74 years
