Ashley is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance
Constable Ashley John HARDIN, NSWPF
Ashley HARDIN, aka Bull, died as the result of a gun shot wound to the head with his service revolver.
He committed suicide as a result of how Police management treated him in relation to a 181D ( show cause why his employment should not be terminated ).
The NSW Police Commissioner at the time was Peter Ryan.
Plaque in the Muster Room of Sutherland Police Station in memory of Ashley John HARDIN
14 September 2015:
Ray Lambie: Gosh it is bad today! I went to Sutherland in 1998 & I was a team leader there. Bull was on my team and had suffered a malicious complaint arising from a domestic dispute that had occurred prior to his entry to the academy. Every time the domestic dispute was re visited a complaint was lodged with NSWPOL. He was cleared to enter the job, cleared whilst in the job on a number of occasions. In 1998 when the domestic complaint was raised again PIAB decided to give Bull a 181D ostensibly to make him do the work to get out of the complaint merry go round. He was suspended. He one day came in and took his service revolver to Darks Forest and committed suicide. On the day of his funeral I returned to the Sutherland Police Station and submitted my resignation. An absolute disgrace.

The Fox had a laugh that will endure in the hearts of all who were blessed to have known him. From one of his former trainee Police Prosecutors and fellow Barrister, sincere condolences to Meredith and Family.
Bernie, 12 years of rowing and training 7 months a year built up a lifetime bond with you. I’m glad I saw you recently and had the opportunity of sharing a farewell hug and tell you that I love you. Miss you old mate. To Meredith and family I’m thinking of you and god bless – also love from Ali.

A butcher, a cop and a barrister. But your most remembered profession was being a nice guy. Always a smile, never a bad word. Have not seen you for a long time Bernie but you are not forgotten.
A great life saver even though he couldn’t swim unless a shark was after him, typical boatie. A great mate and a true Elouera Warrior, he’ll be remembered by all. George Birss.

NATIONAL POLICE REMEMBRANCE DAY – 2012
Page: 15631
The Hon. MELINDA PAVEY: My question is addressed to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. Will the Minister inform the House about National Police Remembrance Day?
The Hon. MICHAEL GALLACHER: I thank the honourable member for her question and I again welcome the opportunity to share the details of this significant day for the New South Wales Police Force with the wider community. National Police Remembrance Day was observed on Friday 28 September 2012. It is a day held in memory of police officers across the country who have died in the line of duty. On that day I had the honour of attending a service held at the New South Wales Police Wall of Remembrance in the Domain at which the 251 officers who have given their lives to protect the people of New South Wales since the formation of the New South Wales Police Force 150 years ago were rightly honoured.
It was a solemn reflection of the ultimate sacrifice those officers made and their legacy. The service included special acknowledgement of Senior Constable David Rixon, who was killed on 2 March 2012 whilst on duty in Tamworth. Senior Constable Rixon‘s tragic death was a salient reminder of the dedication police give to the service and protection of our communities. In upholding the law and keeping the people of New South Wales safe, police put their lives on the line on a daily basis. National Police Remembrance Day honours the courage and bravery of all police officers across the country. It is also an important day to remember police officers who have lost their lives as a result of illness and in other circumstances.
National Police Remembrance Day recognises the families of all serving police officers and the families of those who did not make it home at the end of their shift. New South Wales Police Legacy is a not-for-profit organisation that looks after the families of deceased police officers in New South Wales. The organisation does an invaluable job providing financial and emotional support to more than 1,000 widows and widowers and 200 children across New South Wales. Importantly, New South Wales Police Legacy ensures that these families remain part of the wider police family. The police family is a close-knit group of people who support each other and their families.
Also in attendance at the service at the Wall of Remembrance was 12-year-old Elayna Day and her grandmother. Elayna was only six years old when her father, Sergeant Graham Clifford Day, died but she remains a firm member of the police family. She is the proud recipient of the 2012 Commissioner’s Scholarship. The New South Wales Police Legacy scholarship will assist Elayna as she enters high school next year to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She is a prime example of the fine work undertaken by New South Wales Police Legacy in supporting the families of our fallen police officers. The need for an organisation like Police Legacy highlights the risks associated with being a police officer. It is a difficult, stressful and dangerous job. In informing the House on the significance of National Police Remembrance Day, I would like to take this opportunity to thank police officers across the State, all of whom are serving and protecting the people of New South Wales. Their commitment is acknowledged and respected, their bravery and courage is honoured and admired and I thank them for their contribution in ensuring that we have a safe community.

SHE was only six when her father died, but Elayna Day is still a firm member of the police family.
Sergeant Graham Clifford Day died in 2006 from acute renal failure after serving in the NSW police force.
As police officers stop to remember Sgt Day and other fallen officers today, Elayna, now 12, will also be honoured, receiving the 2012 Commissioner’s Scholarship.
The year 6 student said she would use the $5000 NSW Police Legacy scholarship to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian.
“I was really surprised, I never thought I would get the scholarship,” she said.
Her grandmother and guardian, Judith Parker, said the money would help her support Elayna.
“I’m so excited that she has won this. She goes to high school next year and this really helps with uniforms and everything else,” Ms Parker said.
“The police are very generous every year but for her to win this scholarship is terrific. She’s such a delightful child.”
The pair will travel from Newcastle to be part of today’s ceremony at the Police Wall of Remembrance in the Domain.
NSW Police Legacy is a not-for-profit organisation which looks after the families of deceased police officers across NSW. It currently helps more than 1000 widows and widowers, and 205 children.
“We provide legatees with emotional and financial support to allow these families to remain part of the police family,” a spokeswoman said.
“We recognise the important role police officers’ families play in supporting them.”
He was stationed at Maitland Police Station in Highway Patrol from about 1981 to about 1986. I believe he made it onto the Bikes in Maitland about 1985. He must have transferred back to Sydney following this period.
Graham was a great mate and our families were very close until I left the job.
He had a little claim to fame as being the only bloke to put an XE HWP car sideways into the service station on the ambulance corner of the main street in Raymond Terrace.
He was a funny bloke, and I still remember the Train noises he could make on the new electronic announcement system fitted to the Brock Special Commodore we shared for a while.
Sorry to see you gone mate.
Lots of good times…(old paper clipping I have kept since the 80’s with GDay on the mike!)

Hendrik passed away on 22/08/2014 and his funeral is proposed to be held at 12midday on Thursday 28th Instant at Baptist New Life Church, Corner Dalrimple Street and Ntaba Road, JEWELLS.
