JON is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance, Canberra *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
DARWIN: A policeman drowned at the weekend after the patrol car he was travelling in rolled off a wharf at Darwin.
Police said yesterday that Detective Sergeant Ian Bradford, 37, and his partner were patrolling the Old Fort Hill wharf at 11.30pm on Saturday when their patrol car rolled off the edge of the dark pier.
Sergeant Bradford‘s partner, who was driving, struggled back to shore and was treated for shock and lacerations.
Police divers recovered Sergeant Bradford‘s body just after midnight. He is survived by his wife, Dianne, and three children.
Police said a report on the incident had been submitted to the Coroner.
Detective Sergeant Second Class Ian BRADFORD was a passenger in a CIB vehicle which was patrolling the Darwin wharf area just prior to midnight on the 28 January 1984.
The Wharf was being extended to join up with another section and was incomplete.
The vehicle went over the edge between the two wharves.
The driver, Detective Jon HAYES, managed to get out of the sinking car, and although he dived down several times to try to extricate the passenger, Detective Bradford was knocked unconscious and drowned inside the police vehicle.
Detective Sergeant Bradford joined the NT Police Force on 19 February 1973 and served in Darwin and Alyangula.
Ian and his partner, Jon Hayes were patrolling the Darwin Wharf area just prior to midnight on 28 January ( 1984 ), when their police car drove off the Fort Hill wharf, which was under construction.
Despite Jon’s valiant efforts Ian drowned. He left behind his wife, Di, and three young children – Philip, Graham and Paula.
Thank you for your service.
There is no doubt that, Jon, being the driver of the police vehicle at the time of the accident at Darwin Wharf, ( in January 1984 ) which resulted in the drowning death of his policing partner, Ian Bradford, weighed very heavily upon the mind of Jon at the time leading up to Jon‘s suicide in 1997.
Even 13 years after the accident, I know that it weighs very heavy upon the mind.
May Jon Forever Rest In Peace.

A letter to PANSW Police News:
‘Police Family Alive and Well’
In late April this year a mother, father and brother lost their youngest child and brother.
My Police Officer daughter, Angela Payne (nee Bamford) lost her husband and my family lost a son in law.
Detective Sergeant Gregory Ross Payne, 41 years old, took his own life after a battle with mental illness. His death occurred at Orange, New South Wales. Greg was attached to the Central West PD and was working out of Parkes Police Station.
Following Greg’s death the Police Family came to the aid of my daughter and their two daughters, aged 10 and 8 who live in the small country town of Canowindra.
The PD response and care under the leadership of Superintendent Steve Kentwell and his management team was immediate, genuine and full of support. Nothing was too much trouble in our time of need.
The Police Association reacted immediately with contact, offers of support and within days a sizeable sum of money was deposited directly into my daughter’s bank account. A week later Ian Johnstone, acting for the Police Provident Fund travelled from Sydney to my daughter’s home where he presented her with another very sizeable sum of money to support her through what lay ahead.
Floral tributes from a number of commands were delivered to the home over ensuing days. Just to name a few … Orange and Cowra LAC’s, Parkes Police, Homicide Squad, State Crime Command. Not to mention the flowers, food packages and love and support from the local community and business houses. Greg had been stationed at Canowindra performing general duties when first taking up a country posting. The response from all was amazing to witness.
Greg was laid to rest with full Police honours at a lawn service at Eugowra, NSW on the 11th May, 2021. Approximately
150‑200 people attended. Numerous Police from across the state, along with community and family members turned out. The service was live streamed which was viewed by many Police and friends living overseas.
It was a fitting farewell and I know Greg’s family, as with our family, were extremely grateful to all that attended from far and wide. I can report Canowindra RSL bar‑staff (Greg was known there funnily enough) were kept busy later that afternoon and evening.
Greg’s funeral was conducted under threatening skies on a very cold afternoon at Eugowra. Technical difficulties with the audio production saw attendees standing for an extended period in very cold and light showery conditions. Fortunately, rain held off till after the service and afternoon tea.
I need to highlight the actions of Region Commander Geoff McKechnie who was in attendance. I had not met Geoff previously. He sought me out in the crowd to personally offer his condolences and support for the future. The genuineness in his words and demeanour left me knowing ‘this bloke is fair dinkum’. Former work colleagues of mine had told me both Mr McKechnie and Commander Steve Kentwell were, in our speak, “good blokes”. Maybe a ‘country copper trait’ or another example of ‘looking after our own’.
During the service and unbeknown to me Greg’s daughter, Grace was visibly shaking from the cold. I first became aware when I saw a rather large (sorry Sir) Police tunic being handed forward to Grace which was wrapped around her small upper body. Geoff McKechnie, seated behind had removed his tunic and wrapped it around Grace for the length of the service. Clearly Geoff could have ‘influenced’ another officer to give up his tunic or jacket. What a lovely gesture from obviously a kind and caring man and genuine leader. That memory, amongst others will stick with me forever as a reminder that the ‘Police Family is Alive and Well’ and in this case it came from the top.
I must also acknowledge Police Legacy who contributed by supporting Angela and sponsoring her attendance at a 2 day retreat at Mudgee with others in a similar bereavement situation.
On behalf of the Payne and Bamford families please let me say thank you to all that attended. Your support, prayers and offers of assistance that continue are all very much appreciated.
Greg can rest in peace now with the knowledge his family is in good hands. Please remember to ask ‘R U OK’. You could save a life.
Thank you.
Greg Bamford

Adult emu stolen from Featherdale Wildlife Park after being thrown over two electrified fences
AN adult emu weighing close to 50kg was thrown over two electrified fences during a brazen theft at a wildlife park in Sydney’s west
Ben McClellan
2 min read
February 13, 2013 – 12:38PM
Blacktown Advocate
AN adult emu weighing close to 50kg was thrown over two electrified fences during a brazen theft at Featherdale Wildlife Park on Monday night.
Park curators and police have been left perplexed by the theft with senior curator Chad Staples saying the five-year-old female emu, born and raised at the Doonside park, had no monetary value.
Blacktown police believe a group scaled a two-metre high exterior fence at the back of the park, next to a railway line, before midnight and attempted to steal both of the two emus in the large enclosure which is also home for three eastern grey kangaroos.
Keepers discovered one of the kangaroos out of the enclosure at 7.20am on Tuesday. Mr Staples said while it wasn’t uncommon for the emus to escape their enclosure they realised the birds absence was more serious when they saw visible signs of struggle on the remaining male emu and feathers strewn throughout the enclosure.
More feathers were found less than a 1km up the railway line where the thieves are believed to have exited.
Police said residents reported several dogs barking in the area before midnight but haven’t confirmed if anyone saw the stolen emu and her captors.
Blacktown police Inspector Stephen Oswald said doctors should report anyone presenting with scratch or abrasion injures that may have been sustained during the struggle with the emu.
Blacktown’s top tourist attraction spends more than $200,000 on security patrols a year, along with CCTV and fencing. The one guard on duty apparently heard nothing during the break-in.
Inspector Oswald said reports the theft may have been an orientation week university prank was “news to us” and detectives were looking at several lines of enquiry.
Mr Staples said if the theft was a prank it wasn’t very funny.
“You would think potential university graduates would have more sense than this,” he said.
“They came into this park for an emu, we cannot understand the reason for this. All we can do is hope they realise this is complete folly and we ask for it to be returned.
“It’s unbelievable, bemusing to be honest. You can understand the monetary value with birds in the past but this is a strange one. Emus at best of times can be quite skittish and erratic.”
Monday’s theft comes six weeks after 10 birds, including two exotic macaws, were stolen on Christmas Eve.
The macaws, worth $12,000, were recovered a few days later an Auburn home but two red-tailed cockatoos, worth $4000, and six ground breasted doves remain missing.
Blacktown detectives again interviewed the Auburn residents about where they got the macaws from today but no charges have been laid.
Blacktown crime manager Senior Sergeant Adam Wilson said other than the link of birds being stolen from the same park police hadn’t established any connection between the two break-ins.
Anyone who sees the emu on the road or wandering the street is urged not to approach or attempt to restrain the animal as it may behave erratically and run into traffic.
They should contact police via Triple Zero (000) immediately.
Sightings can also be reported to Featherdale Wildlife Park on 9622 1644.

It is with the deepest regret that I inform those Retired, Former, Serving Police and friends that James O’TOOLE succumbed to the ‘ Black Dog ‘ at the very young age of 23 whilst Serving with NSW Police Force.
May you Forever Rest In Peace mate and may your parents and brother know that you were respected and loved by those who Served alongside of you.

It is with a very heavy heart that Bankstown Basketball Association mourns the loss of referee James O’Toole.
James has long been part of the Bruins family, and has represented the Bruins as an exceptional referee, supervisor, and player. He is known for his cheeky smile, witty conversations, and extraordinary dedication and passion for the education, support and ongoing development of Bruins Junior referees.
Over James’s many years of basketball service, James was awarded numerous prestigious Steve Well’s Junior Referee of the Year Awards as recognition for his hard work to his craft. James represented Bankstown Bruins at both New South Wales State Championships and Senior Finals Weekends, his efforts also took him interstate as a referee for New South Wales at many Australian Junior Championships, at which he always did the association proud.
In more recent years James sought out a professional career as part of the New South Wales Police Force, however, always continued to find time to be part of and support the Bruins family.
We are honoured to have had such an exceptional gentleman as part of the Bruins Family and James’s legacy will continue to live on in the people who he inspired and worked so closely with.
As a tribute to James, we invite the entire Bruins community to wear a blue ribbon on their uniform to signify the amazing life that he lived.
Rest In Peace James, we will continue to honor you with Bruins Pride and Dignity.
Never did I expect to say a funeral was beautiful but yours certainly was, James.
You were so obviously loved and cared about by so many including our family.
You certainly made a huge impression during your short life.
With you all today in my thoughts and prayers.

In 2014 this group, from Class 105, celebrated their 50th anniversary although no longer teenagers and perhaps not so handsome. The photo is of the 50th anniversary. Back row left to right: Phil Martin, Neil Anderson, Geoff Towner, Maurie Green, Greg Parker, Ron Nunn and Col Irwin. Front row left to right: Geoff Wormleaton, Clive Steirn, Warren Chambers, Rudy Hereth and Sam Bass.
Sam Bass was my father. I just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know of his passing and how much this group meant to him.
Last Sunday dad lost a battle he had been fighting and took his own life.
Anyone that knew Dad knew him as a lovable goofball with a giant heart that would give you the shirt of his own back.
Unfortunately, now one of the most beautiful and helpful human beings I’ve had the pleasure of knowing didn’t reach out for help when he needed it most.
My sister and I both served, and along with everyone in this group I’m sure we’ve all had more than our fair share of Friends lost to mental illness. I can tell you nothing I’ve experienced yet hits you quite like when it’s your father.
It’s ok to not be ok.
Please, please, please ask your mates how they’re doing, know YOU ARE NOT ALONE, and reach out to someone when you need.
Given the current circumstances we won’t be holding a funeral as such. Rather Sam will be cremated and once life is a bit less COVID crazy we scatter his ashes in Shoal Bay some time next year. Anyone is welcome.
Thanks to everyone in this group for allowing me to post and know that he loved you all and was on here multiple times a day.
Please feel free to send me a message on here if you feel you need and I’ll let everyone know more about the final goodbye when we do.
Regards
Mike Bass
