Sincere condolences to Luba and family. I worked with Bob for various periods at both Fremantle and Perth CIB and his support in my career was invaluable. HE was a figurehead to many a young Detective, respected and most of all a loyal friend. Sadly missed but leaving behind a treasure of wonderful memories.. RIP Bob.

Holidaying policeman Bob Greay made a surprise arrest early Tuesday morning at Quairading.
Constable Greay became suspicious when be noticed three teenage girls drive through town in a black Holden sedan and on an impulse decided to follow them. A few miles from Quairading Bob came upon the Holden off the side of the road.
Stopping to offer assistance he first noticed the car had no ignition keys and after asking the three girls a few questions made an arrest.
Local policeman Frank Brynes then took charge of the situation.
The three girls, all juveniles, were under the care of the Child Welfare Dept. and had driven the stolen Holden from Perth.

DOUG ROBERTSON AT BADGEE PARK CARAVAN PARK, SUSSEX INLET where he and the family used to holiday – 1980.
Michael McGannJeez the good are going aren’t they. Doug was a Sergeant at River wood Call Box under Bill Lavette when I was transferred there in early 1976 from Hurstville. Tough, full of common sense, approachable, full of respect for the man. Nothing was too much trouble for Doug. The last time I saw him was when I was in the Bathurst bike riots of 1983. He was one of the bosses of the TRG and I was in the compound when it started to hit the fan. When they cut the power I went up to Doug to ask him how I could help and he said grab a floodlight and do your best. Later he signed my HOD forms when I got injured.
Good bloke Doug. Very sad to see him go the way all good people go. We could use more blokes like Doug.

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
I’m wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of getting one of these police caps. In 1989 I was approached by Ian Beckett in this photo below, who had become a fraud squad detective, resigned and was then the National Investigations Manager at NZI Insurance. Ian has been a friend and mentored me in civil and insurance law areas until his retirement. Ian passed away yesterday following a stroke about 12 days ago. His family would like to borrow one of these caps to place on his coffin for the funeral service next week. I S Beckett, RIP mate, always respected and respectful of Police and Fire Brigade officers, thanks for the many smiles, laughs and much guidance to this bloke over the last 28 years????you will be missed especially by your wife Barb, kids Craig and Michelle, their families and your great grand kids.
