Today we lost a great Australian, Paul Shiels – The DROVER.

For decades whilst society slept easy he went to work as a Police Officer/Sergeant in Australia’s most dangerous area, Darlinghurst then Kings Cross.

He looked after his mates, he looked after young police like myself and mentored them (not so sure his methods were always strictly by the book or all that helpful????). He was a character through and through, quick to joke and loved a yarn over a nice cold beer.

This ones for you, You will be missed by many my friend. Rest well.

Mary Cousemacker ❤️????❤️????.

He grabbed Rochelle and I out of the station tour on our very first day. Put us in the car with him and drove us around to all the dirtiest syringe filled alleys which were the favourite druggy haunts. I nearly shit myself and nearly didn’t come back for my next shift He was like a second dad. You could always depend on him
For anything. Having a glass of red for him tonight. ????❤️???? God speed Shielsy love always Slats xxx

Grandpa Paul was a very wise and happy man. There was never a moment in the past 7 years have I seen him upset or negative. He has such a positive energy being around him makes you happy. He was like the grandpa I never had.

Growing up overseas without my grandparents left an empty space but grandma Bina and Grandpa Paul were more then grandparents they were just very nice people.

Thanks to both of them I am who I am today and I hope no matter where grandpa is now may god give him happiness and peace.

Love Fairoj Nishita ❤️❤️????????
