Condolences to Lucy, Family and Friends.

In 2017, Allan underwent open heart artery by pass surgery.

Prior to joining the NSWPF – Allan was an Apprentice Motor Mechanic and Mechanic for 6 years.

At the time of joining the NSWPF, Allan was described as:

5′ 9 1/4″ tall, 13 stone, 2 lb in weight, with brown eyes, black hair, dark complexion.

He passed his Constable 1st Class course on 27 August 1974.

He passed his Sergeant 3rd Class exam on 9 May 1983.

He held a NSW Drivers licence and was Certified to drive the GD cars, Ute and light trucks on the 30 June 1972.

He also was Certified to drive the Police Boys Club omnibus on 21 September 1972 and Ride Solo Police cycles on 23 February 1973.

Probationary Constable Allan. F. Godfrey
A former Motor Mechanic entered the Police Academy at Redfern and commenced his Initial Training, as part of Class 131.

He was attested on 6/1972 and stationed at No. 3 Division (Darlinghurst) on General Duties, and where he was promoted 6/1973 to the rank of Constable.

In 12/1973 he transferred to the Traffic Branch as a Solo Motor Cyclist and Traffic Signals Sections.

Then in 4/1974 he was transferred to No. 8 Division, Annandale (a substation of Balmain) on General Duties and where he was promoted 3/1978 to the rank of Constable 1/c.

Then in 9/1979 to Glebe Police Station on similar duties. In 2/1982 he was transferred to Liverpool on General Duties, where he was promoted 6/1981 to the rank of Senior Constable.

He remained at Liverpool until 1988.

Liverpool General Duties Police were incensed by claims of the NSW Minister for Police, Mr Peter Anderson MP, that there were too many police (at Liverpool).

According to the Liverpool Branch Secretary of the NSW Police Association, Senior Constable Allan. F. Godfrey, of the 108 General Duties police listed at Liverpool, 28 are not involved in day to day law enforcement.

S/C Godfrey said that of the 28:-
* Three police were on permanent sick report awaiting discharge from the Force.
* One Officer was shot in the execution of his duty over 12 months ago.
* One Officer was under suspension.
* Six were involved in prisoner security at the Liverpool District Courts.
* Two were attending Penrith Court for the Milperra bikie court hearings.
* Two were guarding Family Law Court Judges on the North Shore.(following bombings)
* Five were involved in Warrants and Summonses.
* One was assigned to the Criminal Information Unit.
* Five were on restricted duties.
The remaining 80 Police attend court cases, prisoner escorts, internal affair and ombudsman’s enquiries and training courses. With such exclusions there are only about 40 police left to perform day to day duties in Liverpool and Green Valley.

These police are rostered over three shifts, seven days a week. In reality of the 108 General Duties police named on the roster, there were only three cars crews and four station staff per shift at Liverpool. Green Valley has only one Officer in the Station and one car crew per morning and afternoon shift. Green Valley was closed between 11pm and 7am each day.
Over night the sub-station area was patrolled by Liverpool, and the Green Valley vehicles are housed at Liverpool Police Station.

No to Strike.

Police from Liverpool, Fairfield and the Macarthur District held a mass meeting, attended by in excess of 150 police, who unanimously decided to endorse the NSW Police Association’s call for the immediate increase of 2000 police in the state.

The Secretary of the Liverpool Branch, Sergeant Allan. F. Godfrey said that “all stations in the ‘I’ District were short of manpower”.

Unfortunately my computer system has become weak and can no longer stand the strain I place upon it.

In order to get my systems up and running again, I have invested $6k in a new computer system which is currently being built and I would expect that a lot of the notices I place on the system, will be devoid of a lot of information that I usually include; until my new system arrives and my databases and photos are transferred across.

This might not be completed until late February 2022.
