FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
Our condolences to Brooke THEOKLIS, Sophie THEOKLIS & wife, Rebekah.
Mr Theoklis (pictured holding his twin daughters) had been promoted to a Sergeant in December last year.
In the early hours of Monday 30 November 2020 beloved Sergeant Matthew (Theo) Theoklis passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the Sydney Police Centre. Theo joined the NSW Police Force in December 2005. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in December 2019 and was attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command. At the time of his death he was performing duties with Major Events and Emergency Management, State Planning Unit. His colleagues will best remember him for his dedication and commitment to Operation Support Group (OSG) operations, firstly as a valued member of South West Metropolitan Region Enforcement Squad (OSG) and more recently with Operation ODIN (Central Metropolitan Region).
Theo was a well-respected member of the NSW Police Force who took immense pride in his job. He performed his duties with the highest of professionalism and will be remembered for the fun and antics, for which he was renowned.
Above his Policing, he was first a loving son to Sam, Mary and Barry, brother to Sarah and Ed and uncle to his many nieces and nephews.
Theo leaves behind his fiancée Rebekah, who is a current serving member of the NSW Police Force, and beautiful 3-year-old twin daughters Brooke and Sophie, who adore their dad. Theo was a wonderful father who cherished his girls and would constantly talk about them.
All donations to this cause will go to the ongoing support and care of Brooke and Sophie throughout their lives.
NSW Police create fundraiser for Sergeant Matthew Theoklis’ family
December 9, 2020
A NSW police officer who took his life has been recognized as father-of-two Sergeant Matthew Theoklis.
The father of three-year-old twin women was discovered lifeless on the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills on November 30.
Theoklis, often called ‘Theo’, leaves behind his fiancee Rebekah, additionally a serving member of the NSW Police Force, and daughters Brooke and Sophie, who “adore their dad”.
He joined the NSW Police Force in December 2005 earlier than he was promoted to the rank of sergeant in 2019.
Heartbreaking photos show hero cop doting over his twins before he shot himself dead at a police station – as community rally behind his family with final act of kindness
Sergeant Matthew Theoklis was found dead at Sydney Police Centre on Nov 30
He had been in the police force for 15 years and leaves behind twin daughters
A fundraiser has since been set up to help support his fiancee and two children
A father of three year old Twins, was stationed at the Sydney Police centre in Goulburn St, Sydney, around 7.30am when the shooting occurred.
He has been a member of NSWPF for 15 years and is married to another member of NSWPF.
NSW Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Matt was also a supporter of NSW Police Legacy, having Boxed in the Police Legacy Boxing Tournament, at Horning PCYC, on 19 April 2013.
Policeman dies in suicide at NSW Police headquarters in Sydney
A police officer has taken his own life at the central Sydney offices of NSW Police.
The apparent suicide occurred in an office at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills on Monday morning.
Initial inquiries indicate the man’s death was not suspicious, a spokesperson for NSW Police said, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
A spokesperson for the Police Association of NSW said the union was aware of the death and would be providing support to those affected.
The death follows a number of suicides among police officers recently, including a senior constable in the New England region.
Police suicides in previous years have prompted discussion about the high-pressure nature of the job and whether officers are adequately supported.
A coronial inquest into the 2013 suicide of a former officer, Ashley Bryant, highlighted the psychological effects of police work, including the stress of constantly being alert to danger and coming into contact with victims of crime.
The inquest found NSW Police was working to help its members deal with the “extreme stressors” they face although more needed to be done.
If you, or someone you know, is thinking about suicide, you can seek help by calling Lifeline on 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467 or NSW Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511.

One of the Facebook messages between Charlie and myself on the 11 September 2018:
LMiss 1 & Mr 2OL It’s all good Greg, I didn’t think I would have made it into one of those “Stud” books anyways, I just wasn’t studdy enough for the Stud Book. I emailed the Dept via their web page and got a reply from some S/C. I just thought I’d update you just in case you kept on looking. And for future reference when you put me on the Fallen Police group site, my rego was 26802 LOL
Well Charlie, I had to use that Registered number tonight my friend. Little did we know, 2 years ago, that I would use it so soon.
* * * *
You were one funny bugger that I loved working with and associating with over the years.
Although we had not seen each other for several years, we tried to catch up last time I was in Victoria.
No matter how long it was between conversations, we always started up from where we left off the last time we spoke.
We always had each others back and it was a bloody pleasure of mine to work with a bloke such as yourself. I loved the ethics and banter between us.
Rest In Eternal Peace my friend – until we meet again.
My family and I regret to inform everyone that my beloved father, Hasan Ataman Atlas, ( Adam Atlas) has passed away this afternoon ( Monday 14 September 2020 ).
Thank you to everyone who has showed their support these past few weeks. It has been a massive struggle for the entire family.
All I can say is, my brother and I were by his side the entire time. Everyone can be at ease knowing he passed away peacefully.
Our father’s funeral will be held tomorrow.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19, we are unable to have people attend his funeral. However, we will live stream on Facebook for those who would wish to be there virtually.
It will be a little bit after the Islamic afternoon prayer ( Dhuhr ) which is at 12.15pm ( Melbourne time ). I will update again tomorrow.
Allahım seni rahmet eylesin baba. İnşallah cennetin en yüksek katında yerin olur. Seni çok seviyoruz ve asla unutmacağız. Hep kalbimizdesin.
Family and friends, please make Dua for my father’s soul. Rest easy Baba xxx

Testimonials
“My family and I have been dealing with Ataman Atlas for 4 months now. The very first call I got after news spread that we chose Atlas Legal to represent us was someone begging me : “Change your lawyer!”. And I’m so glad we didn’t. If you are looking for a multi million dollar office with fancy cars and a sexy receptionist in high heels, Atlas Legal is not the firm for you. However if you are looking for lawyers who will actually care about your case and your family, lawyers willing to explain the law to you in layman terms, lawyers you can call after hours during an emergency and lawyers with relevant advice to get you the results you want, you’ve come to the right place. I was not paid for this review.”
– Sandy
“Thank you so very much for your kind words and candour. We do our best to look after our clients best interests and as a result we make some enemies along the way. That is just a part of life for us. Our clients know us the best.”
