Stanley Kenneth SINGLE   APM  
AKA Stan SINGLE

 

Stan, prior to joining the NSWPF was a Fitting and Machining apprentice at Gibson Engineering, Gunnedah, NSW.

Stan played as a member in the Police Aussie Rules team trip to Tasmania in 1977.

 

Stan was the founder of the Lightning Ridge Police bush safari and, being a true Bushie, he was also a wood carver.

He is credited with carving the wooden Police Batons that hold the names of Fallen Australian Police, who have died throughout Australia as a result of their Duty, for the Wall to Wall Ride of Remembrance to Canberra each year.

Throughout his distinguished policing career, Stan earned the respect of colleagues across the NSW Police Force. However, many within the Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance family will also know Stan as the craftsman who hand-carved the Commissioners’ Batons, creating a lasting symbol of remembrance for fallen officers and those they left behind.
Through his dedication, skill and generosity, Stan’s contribution will continue to be carried by riders and remembered by the policing community for many years to come.

Hi, our names are Jenna McAtamney & Sarah Wilkinson. We are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of our dear friend, Danni Matts, who recently experienced a heartbreaking tragedy.
Danni and her three children — ages 8, 7, and 8 months — are now facing life without their loving dad and step dad, Paul Matts, who passed away tragically and unexpectedly on July 8th, 2025. This loss has left the family devastated and in need of support as they begin to navigate this new reality.
Their youngest child Xavier, is just 8 months old. Danni is doing everything she can to stay strong for her kids, but she cannot do it alone.
We’re raising funds to help cover:
• Time off work for Danni
• Ongoing care for their youngest child Xavier
• emotional support for the family
•To take the financial strain from Danni, as she learns to financially support her family on her own.
Every donation will make a real difference in helping carry the burden for this family as they find stability and healing in the midst of deep loss. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network.
Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support. Paul was a great father to his daughter Harlow, and son Xavier, and step dad to Archer & Jasmine. He will be very missed by his children.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sarah & Jenna

We have had a lot of people asking for details about the circumstances of Paul’s death. With permission from Danni, Paul was on holidays with his Wife and kids.
Danni, Paul and their 4 kids were having a great time laughing and playing on the beach when suddenly Paul had a medical episode. Sadly he succumbed to this, we have peace knowing that Paul passed away, surrounded by the ones he loved the most.
thank you for all your donations

Community Recognition Statement – Senior Constable Paul Matts

6 February, 2020

Community Recognition Statement delivered in the Fifty-Seventh Parliament of New South Wales by the Member for Barwon Roy Butler on 4 February 2020.
Community Recognition Statement delivered in the Fifty-Seventh Parliament of New South Wales by the Member for Barwon Roy Butler on 4 February 2020.

 

I recognise in the House Senior Constable Paul Matts of Burren Junction. When Paul Matts moved to Burren Junction to become the local policeman he was blown away by the kindness and generosity of the community.

From invitations to dinner, helpful removalists and big waves from the local kids, Burren welcomed him warmly to the community.

To repay Burren for being so welcoming Paul in December organised a family fun day for the town.

The purpose of the event was twofold: to say thank you and to help people take people’s minds off the drought.

Paul moved heaven and earth to put on an afternoon and evening of entertainment—from slip’n’slides, to movies, a visit from Santa and a raffle for a family holiday. Burren had it all, thanks to Paul.

For that afternoon, the town put the drought to the back of their minds, came together and had a good time.

I went along and saw all the smiling faces on the kids who were having a great time. I was a really good afternoon.

On behalf of Burren Junction, Thank you, Senior Constable Paul Matts.

Kath Haines Tribute Ride

At this stage we are going to do a ( bicycle ) ride to celebrate the life of Kath Haines.
The plan:
Meeting at Thomas Humphreys Reserve at Swansea on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at about 7.30 am departing about 8 am and riding to Adamstown and back to Swansea along the Fernleigh Track.
Approximate distance 50 km
If you would like to join us for all or part of the ride please let me know.
Places I would suggest joining the ride if you don’t want to do the whole ride:
Belmont TAFE
Redhead car park (Liles Oval)
Whitebridge (near shops)
Approximate times for the different locations will post later on as we will do a couple of test rides to give people an idea of the time it takes to complete different sections.
This is a ride to celebrate the life of one of the most amazing people I’ve had the honour of meeting and calling my friend.

This may not be the time but, I recall one afternoon shift working the truck at Toukley and The Entrance truck called urgent to a pool hall around the corner from the police station. We raced over and were met by a tattooed angry giant who had just got out of Long Bay and was fairly off his face on gear.
He spotted us, grabbed a pool cue and started towards us. He said through gritted teeth that he hated cops and was going to flog us.
Kath calmly pulled out the long baton and replied ”I hate loud mouthed shitheads so I will do the flogging! ” He stopped, put down the pool cue and put his hand out to be cuffed. “ Sorry miss ” was his reply and he walked to the truck.
Ballsy lady that one.
Luv you Hainsey💙

* Story behind any Nickname:  Beef Man = ?

 


 

In 2022 Nick contracted Bacterial Meningitis which brought on a couple of strokes and then a heart attack.

Nick, despite being on the cusp of death, managed to rally and came good.

With the aid of rehabilitation for months, he was able to return to work in an administrative role.

Unfortunately his brain was not functioning correctly and he had to take ‘sick leave’ again.

Although he was still on the ‘roster’, he was not able to physically return to VKG for months – leading up to his untimely, and young, death.

Nick, from all accounts, was a great guy, highly intelligent, always the gesture and far too young.

He died in his sleep and looked as though he was simply taking a nap.

Forever – Rest In Peace.
