Information to hand is that there was a Jim BURGESS, back in the early 1970s to early 1980s stationed at Orange.
He was on permanent Light Duties and maintained the police vehicle fleet at Orange.
It is believed that he had a neck injury and have previously been stationed at 4 Wheels, Sydney.
After his ‘stint’ at 4 Wheels, he transferred to Orange.
The mentioned Jim Burgess “might” be identical to the above James Burgess BUT is NOT confirmed. ( Now confirmed to be true – Jan 2024 )
For information only.
Nothing further, than what is published above, is known of this man, his life, career or death.

You are absolutely correct. Jim and James are the same person and he was stationed at Orange after being injured in a car accident in Sydney when a car crossed several lanes and ploughed into his.
He died in Parkes from a heart attack after living many year surviving several strokes. His ashes are located in Narromine cemetery beside his beloved wife Joyce.
Hi Mel,
