Grieving ex-cop leads memorial ride for police sergeant found dead at home
The ride two police mates never completed becomes a memorial journey as colleagues unite to honour a sergeant who took his own life with a service weapon.
Warning: Distressing content
The last message former police officer Mitch Wrigley received from his colleague and close friend will forever haunt him.
“He wanted to do a ride with me. I couldn’t make it. I had told him to set a date and I would make it work, but I couldn’t. It’s ruined me,” Mitch told news.com.au.
His friend, Sergeant Anthony Baillie – affectionately known as Bails and the name preferred by his family – was tragically found deceased in his Bateau Bay home on Monday, April 6, with a gunshot wound from a police-issue firearm.

Authorities have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
Bails’ passing is now the subject of a Law Enforcement Conduct Commission Review.
Police sources have revealed the review will investigate how the sergeant managed to take a firearm home to his Central Coast residence after a night shift. It is understood he was designated an “internal sergeant”, meaning he was not permitted to carry a weapon due to mental health concerns.

Mitch, police colleagues and family and friends of Bails are for now focused on honouring the life of the much loved police officer.
“I just wish I could have done more for him,” Mitch said.
Mitch fondly remembered Bails as a truly exceptional individual who would go to great lengths for anyone, “even if it meant he copped criticism for it.”

“He always had your back and would fight for the troops below him before protecting himself.”
This Wednesday, Mitch, along with Bails’ father, other family members, and police colleagues, will embark on the very route the two men had planned to ride together.
Mitch is organising this ride in honour of Bails, aiming to make it “the biggest thing as he really enjoyed being out on his bike.”
“His ride of choice, which we did together many times, is the ride we will be doing,” Mitch said.
“I want to make this a big event to show how much he was loved as a son, father, brother, uncle, and friend. This ride means the world to me, and I would love as much support on the ride. If you can offer any support, big or small, it will all be greatly appreciated.”
He urged, “If you know Bails, know of him, or want to support a friend riding, please make every effort you can to attend.”

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
If you have anything further to add to what is recorded here, please get in touch.
On 23 June, 1956 the sergeant was involved in the violent arrest of an offender at the Commercial Hotel, Junee. During the incident the sergeant suffered injuries to his kidneys which subsequently led to a number of operations and ongoing medical treatment for many years afterward.
On the morning of 14 April, 1962 Sergeant Cavanagh, then the Officer In Charge of the Morisset Police Station, collapsed on duty and was conveyed to the Newcastle Hospital. He remained in a semi-coma until he sadly passed away a week later. The cause of death was kidney failure caused by his injuries in 1956.
R. E. Cavanagh of Junee was promoted from Constable 1st Class to Senior Constable around 24 December 1954 as advertised in The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 24 December 1954 on page 3 of 12.
The sergeant was born on 15 March 1915 and joined the New South Wales police Force on 25 August, 1939. At the time of his death he was stationed at Morisset.
Reg’s son, Geoff, last saw his dad being carried out of the Morisset Police Station on a stretcher to an ambulance in full uniform but never saw him again.

Legends, a very good mate of mine and to countless others received news early in June that completely changed his life. Blake Shorrock, or as he’s more well known as, Shoz, unfortunately received news that what he thought was a hematoma in his leg was actually a form of cancer known as sarcoma. For those of you who know Shoz you would know that he would give you the shirt of his back if you were in need and would go above and beyond for someone in need. Which is why I’m asking people to kindly consider making a donation to assist Blake and his wonderful family in the cost of Blake’s radiotherapy treatment. Any donation is welcome and appreciated. Even just a simple message of support would mean just as much to Blake and his family

It is with extreme sadness that I announce the passing of our much valued club member Nicole Noal nee Boyce.
This post is a bit of a personal one as I have know Nicole for more the 3 quarters of my life.
Nicole was a much valued member of Cambridge Park Netball Club for many many years from juniors right through to seniors even when moving away while studying to become a police office and even travelling from Camden every week the past couple of years to still play for Cambridge Park.
Nicole was such a fighter. Even when life threw her every curve ball, she still took on the challenge head on. Even right till the end.
She was the most kind heart gentle selfless person I have ever met. So much so that when she was diagnosed the 2nd time round she apologised to me because it meant I was going to lose a 2nd childhood friend in less then 2 years. But that summed up Nic. Always thinking of others first.
Nicole your determination, kind heart, loving soul and every other word that one can describe you will be missed truly and deeply. The world has lost another beautiful soul and will never be the same.
You will always be remembered and will always be missed.
Much love, thoughts and prayers to the Boyce and Noal family during this time. Not only myself but also the club will always be there for you.
At the end of last year we launched Senior Constable Nicole Noal‘s fundraising page.
There was an enormous and heartfelt outpouring of support for this strong and generous individual going through such a momentous time, and we thank you all for that
Her colleagues and friends have now organised a Fundraising Dinner for Friday 28 March at The Cube in Campbelltown, and everyone is invited.
In June 2021, Nicole was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. She commenced medical treatment and underwent several medical procedures including invasive surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
In March 2022, Nicole responded positively to surgery by entering remission.
Unfortunately, on 27th November 2024, Nicole received the devastating news that bowel cancer returned. This cancer is incurable. She was informed her life expectancy is 12 months. Nicole will be undergoing chemotherapy in the coming months. It will hopefully extend her life expectancy and assist with pain management.
All profits will go towards Nicole and her family with the mounting medical bills.
Dress for this special night is Cocktail / Semi Formal.
It’s never a good time for bad news, but it hits even harder at such a family time of the year.
Senior Constable Nicole Noal has been a serving NSW Police Force officer for 13 years, and with her husband (also a NSWPF officer), is raising two young daughters.
Having faced bowel cancer several years ago, Nicole was recently given the news that it had returned, in an inoperable fashion.
She has been given 12 months to live.
Her colleagues have organised a fundraiser to help with the medical financial burden, as Nicole remains determined to create lasting memories with her family while she is able to.

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
12 July 2025 by Sarah Wilkinson, Organiser
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.
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.
