Class 112 From Dave Morris – 26 March 2014: Class 112 swearing in 15.9.67 – rain had washed out the parade so we were moved indoors. I recall Barry Elliott being front row on the left, not sure who is next but then Phil Roots and I remember Phil and Barry were real good mates. About the only other I can place is front row 2nd from the right, Barry Faint and I think the tall Constable with the cap on is Jeff Jarratt, having already been sworn in on his birthday prior to the parade, as Cadets were.

David was a wonderful colleague and friend. We worked together for well over a decade and got to know one another at Fair Trading. While Dave was a big, gruff guy when you first met him, he was, in reality a sweet man with a wonderful heart. He was a loyal friend and it was an absolute joy to have him around. His children were the light in his life. Dave, you will be missed. Condolences to family and friends. RIP my friend.

A new senior officer will start his duties today, as Inspector Daniel Skelly opts for a sea change and takes over as the officer-in-charge of the Raymond Terrace sector.
Inspector Skelly has moved from Dubbo up to the Port Stephens-Hunter PD, as Chief Inspector Al Janson ( # 28475 ) takes up a position further south on the Central Coast.
Inspector Skelly says he is looking forward to getting to know the local community and improving the liveability of the area.
“I’m eager to start and take on the role of Raymond Terrace OIC, whilst looking at parts of customer service to help ensure the community receives the best service when dealing with local police.”
Commander, Superintendent Gillies, would like to thank Chief Inspector Janson for his years of service and wealth of knowledge at Port Stephens-Hunter PD and wishes him all the best with his new appointment.

NSW Police Inspector Dan Skelly embraced his role as a country cop but with life throwing him a “curveball” recently he’s reluctantly saying goodbye to the region.
EMERGENCY SERVICES Inspector Dan Skelly departs Dubbo
Dubbo Photo News
By JOHN RYAN

Dan Skelly says he didn’t want to move here, but now calls Dubbo home.
DAN SKELLY leaves Dubbo after five years as a police inspector working in the Orana Mid-western Police District.
From a media perspective, he’s taken phone calls night and day, on or off-duty and has been willing to help at any time to get the best messages out to the community.
He’s also been involved in plenty of behind the scenes community work and he’ll be sorely missed by the many people he’s assisted, on the job or not, during that time.
Most cops who grow up on the coast don’t put in transfers to come out west, where the summers are hot and the beaches are, almost non-existent.
Inspector Dan Skelly hadn’t heard of Dubbo’s Sandy Beach until he arrived in town so after having Newcastle and the Central Coast beaches his playground, he didn’t think much of it.
“I was transferred into Dubbo from Wyong and when I first got here, being a boy from Newcastle, my goal was to get back. Every time I’d travel back to the coast I’d pass the 100k speed sign at the bottom of Mugga Hill thinking, ‘one day I’m going to pass this for the last time’.
“Five years later it’s a different ball game. I’ve called Dubbo my home, I’ve got my immediate family here, my wife and my son, but when I pass that sign this week going back to work on the coast I’ll pass it with a heavy heart because I’ve been privileged to work with some great people in Dubbo and I’ve also been privileged to make friends with a lot of good people,” he said.
He said Dubbo’s community vibe has really hit home, with so many locals he’s met who spend so much of their time working for the betterment of the city rather than for their own personal gain.
He says that volunteer work makes the city far more liveable.
“When I first came here I couldn’t wait to go. Now, I wish I could stay,” he said.
Inspector Skelly said it’s a story you hear from so many police who grew up in Sydney or along the coast and then get told they’ll be working west of the Sandstone Curtain. They loathe those travelling orders but then after being thrown in the deep end, they make it work better than they ever believed possible.
He says while it can be difficult initially, being transferred as part of the job can be a blessing in disguise, forcing you out of your comfort zone and never regretting it.
“I’d never been to Dubbo in my life. I had to look on the internet to see the best way to get here, but yes, it does force you out of your comfort zone and it makes you go out and experience other things, it becomes the new normal in your life,” he said.
Dan Skelly is leaving town not for a promotion or the prospect of an exciting new job, but for medical reasons.
He had a sudden and surprising diagnosis of Leukemia in December last year and he’s preparing for a stint at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital next month for treatment.
“Because of that treatment I’ll be off work for six months and the police have been kind enough to transfer me back to the Newcastle area where all my extended family live,” he said.
“The support I’ve had has been tremendous. I can’t speak highly enough of my boss, superintendent Peter McKenna and western commander Geoff McKechnie, all the senior management staff at Dubbo and all the troops at Dubbo police station have all been fantastic with their support.
“All the other people that I’ve met in the community have also been great, they’ve really rallied and been very interested in my progress during this time of adversity,” he said.
Inspector Skelly said he’ll get better, and he’ll be back, waiting until the travelling and gathering restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have eased.
“When all the embargoes have been lifted as far as social distancing is concerned, I certainly will be having a few drinks with some people back here in Dubbo,” he said.
“Where I come from in Newcastle, I was lucky enough to grow up when it was still really a large country town and people had attitudes similar to those in Dubbo where everyone says g’day as they walk down the street.
“The good part of the community here is 100 per cent behind the police. People are always there willing to help us, it’s just a different and slower pace of life out here that I’ve become accustomed to and really cherish,” he said.

Late of Duns Creek

Interment will follow at Dungog Cemetery, Cemetery Rd, Dungog, NSW.

In his short 61 years with us, Tony made such an enormous impact, as a foundation player for the Newcastle Knights, he also played for St George Illawarra Dragons, was a soldier, worked in the timber industry and later worked with NSW Police Force as prosecutor and finished his career as Officer in Charge at Maitland.
Tony was self effacing and humble, intelligent, dedicated to keeping our community safe and always took time to engage with everyone.
This photo was taken just few months ago in May, at a community event to provide positive play spaces in one of our local neighbourhoods.
This little girl came up to Tony and they had a very in depth conversation where he demonstrated the very best example of community policing.
We have lost a great one.
Rest In Peace.
Helen Ping: Such sad news. He was a wonderful man. He gave my husband an award for his volunteer work he did with Raymond Terrace Police with cell watch. And also escorted my husbands hearse to the church and organised police cars to block the traffic for him to get through. He was a very nice man , my family and I will never forget him for what he did for my husband My thoughts go to his family , friends and work Colleagues.
Mayor Philip Penfold: Vale Chief Inspector Tony Townsend. Tony was most recently officer in charge at Maitland Police Station and passed in recent days after long battling cancer. I had the opportunity to spend time with Tony twice this year as he reached out to engage with our community. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and workmates. Rest In Peace.

Kate Washington MP: · Devastating news today, with the passing of Port Stephens Hunter Police District Chief Inspector Tony Townsend. Tony was respected by all. Gone far too soon. Tony was dedicated to our community. In his own humble and genuine way, he made a difference to the lives of many. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, loved ones and colleagues – I can only imagine how deeply this loss is being felt by all. We’ve lost a good man. Rest In Peace.
The Newcastle News: · Stoic, courageous and one of nature’s gentlemen. Tributes have begun pouring in for one of the Newcastle Knights foundation players – highly respected police officer Tony Townsend – after he died on Tuesday night.
Lloyd Stanimirovic: Shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Tony Townsend. I first met Tony when I worked at Newcastle Court and he was a police prosecutor. At that time (about 30 years ago) I found Tony to be such a humble man. Even when I spoke to Tony about his rugby league career, he passed it off with modesty and integrity. Last year I met Tony again after many years at the Maitland Anzac Day service. He was still humble. Earlier this year, I was helping youth at a Police operation, when some officers spoke so well of Tony. They described him as someone they could speak to about anything and trust. At this year’s Anzac Day service, Tony spent time speaking to my daughter about her interest in the Police Force. Not surprisingly, when I thanked him for speaking to Gracie and how much he was appreciated by others, Tony just smiled and passed off with humility. From what I saw, heard and experienced, Tony had a positive impact on others, something we all need. Thoughts and prayer with Tony’s family and friends.????

The nib Newcastle Knights extend our sincere condolences to friends and family of the late Tony Townsend, who passed away overnight.
Townsend, Knights Old Boy No.11, played hooker in the first ever team in 1988 and continued a strong association with the club through the Once a Knight Old Boys and his work in the NSW Police Force where he rose through the ranks to Chief Inspector.
Tough, resilient and one of the nicest blokes you could meet. Tony epitomised the Knights early culture, which set a standard for unparalleled later success.
He didn’t complain, despite his various health battles over many years, he just smiled and got on with life.
Rest In Peace TT, Once A Knights Old Boy. Always a Knights Old Boy.

Sending all my love to all the family. The memories we shared will never be forgotten. Will never forget the party at the West’s seeing him dressed up as a bikie with Leonie and how much he loved that Harley. I’ll always remember his gentleness and compassion. He was a very special and influential man. Thoughts are with you all and all the grandchildren.

Knew Richard ( Dickie ) from the time he joined the Police Cadets in 1962. Great mates during those wonderful days. We rowed in the re formed Police rowing team together with the likes of Glen Deholm and Bob Worland.
Dick and I went to Adelaide together in early 1966 on a camping trip visiting a number of ‘old’ former cadets along the way at various Police Stations in regional NSW. Lost contact unfortunately when I went to the bush that same year.
RIP mate and condolences to all the Doust family.

What a beautiful service for Richard. So pleased we could be part of it from the rolling hills of Dorrigo where he was born.
Richard’s Mum Glad Lawrence & my mother Ida Pullen, from Sydney went to Dorrigo in 1937 and met these two Dorrigo Dairy farmers. Glad married Albert Doust a 2nd cousin of my mothers. From that time our families have been close & would catch up at family gatherings over the years. It was great growing up with Richard, Margaret & Neroli in Dorrigo and more recently catching up with them at Nelson Bay at a fabulous dinner party with Geoff & Judy Washington in February. Our thoughts are with you all. A wonderful Celebration of Richard ‘s life.
