R.I.P Drug Detection Dog ‘Bev’
‘Bev’ performed Drug Detection duties throughout NSW from 2010 until recently when she needed to retire at short notice due to illness.
The difficult decision was made to euthanase her on Wednesday as the illness had become progressively worse.
She was only 8 years old.
‘Bev’ had a wonderful nature and spent her last three years working in Dubbo and the western regional areas of NSW.
She will be missed by all those who had the pleasure to work and spend time with her, none moreso than her handler, S/Cst Curtin and his young family whom she lived with whilst off duty.

Ted Collins: Big man. Loved a schooner or two. Traffic Sgt at Campsie for many years rest in peace . Great memories.

Barry Jones: Joe helped me with my first departmental over some shitty complaint. That night at Bankstown he showed me the power of the written report. His response was a pure work of art. The only thing missing was the words ……”Once Upon A Time” at the beginning. I still have that Roget’s Thesaurus he convinced me to buy in 1977 sitting on my desk. The other thing I remember about Joe was his stand up blues with Tom Gerdes, now they were different. Going to miss you big fella.

Ted Collins: Barry Jones. He had that enigma about him. Very very good touch typist. Nothing for him to pitch in and type the synopsis or charge sheets on a wicked night shift. Jump in a car and whiz them into town if we missed the mailman. Never like some sitting there studying the stud book. Gee whiz didn’t he have some stand up blues. The office rocked . He never backed down.

Police promotions

Three Gosford police constables Rex Rienecker, R. J, Sawers, and Dick Cox, have been promoted to constables 1st class. The promotions have been held up for some time because appeals by police in other areas against promotion to other men, had to be heard first. Const. Rienecker, of Gosford’s traffic branch, has been two and a half years in the district. Const. Sawers, the lock up keeper, has been 19 months here, while Det. Cox has been in Gosford for two years.

Road rage maniac caught

Dominic Feain | 26th May 2010 2:25 AM

A ROAD rage bully met his match when he leapt from his vehicle and attempted to intimidate motorists on the Bangalow Road in Lismore yesterday morning.

Much to the delight of fellow road users, the 26-year-old man from Brunswick Heads, who was seen driving dangerously and aggressively between Boat Harbour and Lismore, got more than he bargained for when the first driver he threatened turned out to be an off-duty police officer on his way to work.

If the driver thought that was unlucky, fate conspired even further with a second off-duty officer, Lismore police Sergeant Matt Jacka, also waiting in the queue, and a third officer pulling up just moments after that.

The maverick motorist was arrested and taken to Lismore police station and will face court on a range of traffic charges next month.

He was later taken to Lismore Base Hospital for blood and urine tests.

Sgt Jacka said he was following a fully-laden petrol tanker into Lismore, which he said was driving carefully in the dangerous conditions, when he was overtaken by the speeding driver after being tail-gated for about 30 seconds himself.

“He disappeared into the distance, but we caught up with him in the 60km/h zone in Lismore, where he appeared to be menacing drivers by slowing to 25 or 30km/h,” Sgt Jacka said.

“He then sped up at the next overtaking opportunity near the Westpac helicopter base, apparently to prevent other drivers from overtaking him.”

Police are still piecing together the sequence of events leading up to the incident and have appealed to any witnesses with information who were travelling to Lismore on the Bangalow Road before 6am yesterday to contact them.

The aggressive driver was seen dangerously tail-gating and overtaking traffic in dark and wet conditions near Bexhill before impeding traffic at Lismore’s city limits.

He eventually stopped his light blue, late model Ford Falcon utility in the middle of the road at the roundabout at St Carthage’s Cathedral and the BP petrol station about 6am, and was seen running at vehicles shaking his fists and yelling abuse.

Sgt Jacka and his police colleagues were more than happy to accommodate the man’s ‘issues’ back at the Lismore police station.

“You need your wits about you on that road as it is, let alone in dark, wet and foggy conditions,” he said.

“We highly recommend that drivers report such incidents and we will always follow up where we have a registration number.

“But it is important to exercise extreme caution and slow down or pull over if you deem it necessary.

“Get a rego number if possible, but never confront or antagonise aggressive drivers.”

There are heavy penalties for road rage in NSW, including permanent licence disqualification, fines up to $5500 and/or two years’ imprisonment.
