Police Honours.
Livestream will be available on this page on the day.
Ten members of the NSW Police Force will be formally recognised by the Governor-General in this year’s Australia Day Awards.
The Australian Police Medal (APM) is awarded by the Governor-General, General Sir Peter John Cosgrove, AK, MC, for distinguished service by a member of an Australian police force.
The awards are announced twice annually, on Australia Day and the Queen’s Birthday in June.
Acting NSW Police Commissioner, Catherine Burn, APM, has congratulated the recipients on their nominations and commitment to policing.
“I am tremendously proud to have ten officers – with over 300 years combined service – recognised for their dedication to the NSW Police Force,” Acting Commissioner Burn said.
“These officers are a credit to the NSW Police Force, their colleagues, family, friends and the community.
“The officers bring a wealth of experience and professionalism to the force and I’m happy to thank them for their service and congratulate them on today’s awards. They are all very deserving of recipients.”
The nine recipients of the APM are:
– Assistant Commissioner Gary Worboys;
– Detective Superintendent Greig Newbery;
– Superintendent Clinton Pheeney;
– Superintendent Karen Webb;
– Inspector Bruce McGregor;
– Inspector Mark Hargreaves;
– Senior Sergeant Leslie Nugent;
– Sergeant John Keough; and,
– Senior Constable Anthony George Bell.
Senior Sergeant Leslie Michael Nugent joined the New South Wales Police Force as a Trainee in 1971 at the NSW Police Academy, Redfern. He was attested as a Probationary Constable in 1971, where he was stationed at No. 6 Division (North Sydney). He was promoted to his current rank in 1996 and posted to his current command in 1997.
Senior Sergeant Nugent was confirmed as a Constable in 1972 whilst performing General Duties at No. 6 Division (North Sydney). He has performed Special Traffic Patrol and Highway Patrol duties at Traffic Branch, No. 13 Division (Canterbury), Gundagai, Quirindi, Goulburn, Murray District; where, in 1996, he was promoted to the rank of Senior Sergeant (Traffic Coordinator). He later served at the Albury Local Area Command as the Crime Coordinator, his current position.
Senior Sergeant Nugent has spent a majority of his policing career undertaking traffic-related duties in rural NSW, but it is his involvement in the local community where he has truly distinguished himself as a police officer during his 43 years of service. He has developed a strong link between police and the youth of these communities, in particular the local Aboriginal community. He is involved in a number of youth-orientated committees, which extends on many occasions to working in his own time by attending various events aimed at the local Albury youth. Senior Sergeant Nugent is held in high esteem by the Aboriginal and the Albury community. He has been recognised for the support he provides to the Community Services Child Protection Adolescent Team.
Senior Sergeant Nugent was awarded the National Police Service Medal in 2012, National Medal in 1988 (2nd clasp to the National Medal in 2007) and the NSW Police Medal in 2003 (including 6th clasp to the NSW Police Medal in 2014). In 2012, he received the Commissioner’s Sesquicentenary Citation.
His distinguished service in policing now sees Senior Sergeant Nugent at the Albury Local Area Command, serving the state of New South Wales.
