@djo_aus

Police loved & respected Les for his compassion, big heart, common sense & ability to teach young Police of the history, challenges, difficulties & risks to Aboriginal communities, & the ‘art’ of Policing & serving in Aboriginal Communities.

Djo. It’s

OK.

As a consequence of Les’ long service & role he played in that community, he was viewed in awe by Police Commissioners. Innumerable members of his community, young & old, were the benefactors of positive outcomes after interaction with Police.

Djo. It’s

OK.

Importantly, the positive outcomes facilitated by Les in his role, often led to many life journeys by young Aboriginals, fulfilling their potential & dreams. Les, R.I.P., & be assured you made an amazing difference for your community, particularly the young.

Djo. It’s

OK.

You also made a significant contribution to NSW Police & the 100’s of young officers you nurtured, educated & worked side by side with. You were an amazing man, an amazing Aboriginal leader & will not be forgotten.

Djo. It’s

OK.
