EMERGENCY service workers, police, residents, community groups and students said no to domestic violence during the White Ribbon Day convoy through the Campbelltown and Macquarie Fields regions on Friday.

A convoy of 10 vehicles carrying Campbelltown police, State Emergency Service members, Campbelltown Council staff as well as Burnside, Family and Community Services and Centrelink workers travelled from AB Central in Airds, to Campbelltown TAFE and Macarthur Square to spread the anti-violence message.

A similar convoy carrying groups including Macquarie Fields police travelled from Glenquarie Town Centre and visited Minto Marketplace and Eagle Vale Marketplace.

The two convoys met at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in a show of support before men took the White Ribbon Day oath to say no to violence against women.

Attendees also took part in a tug of war to build camaraderie.

Campbelltown police domestic violence officer Sen-Constable Carolynn Walters said the day was excellent and a great opportunity to raise awareness that there is no place in the community for domestic violence and violence against women.

“Everyone came together on the day for this very important issue,’’ she said.

“When we were driving around there were always people there supporting us on the route.’’

Now in its third year, the convoy aims to foster community cohesion, trust and respect for all participants.

Remembering one of our own – Senior Constable Kelly Ann Foster VA
At a special, private ceremony held today ( Sunday 2 January 2022 ) at Lithgow Police Station, close family and colleagues gathered as a mark of respect, to honour Senior Constable Foster VA, one year after her passing.
In memory of Kelly, Lithgow officers, Leading Senior Constable Michael Barr and Senior Constable Jim McMillan, along with members of Kelly’s family and other colleagues built a special memorial garden.
The memorial would not have been possible without the generosity of donations from the local community also.
The garden was unveiled today by Kelly’s parents Terry and Marilyn, her brother David and sister Leigh.
Lithgow Police, Chief Inspector Chris Sammut said, ” Today’s intimate ceremony between Kelly’s family and Lithgow police staff was beneficial as it formed part of the healing process for family and work colleagues.   The memorial wall and garden will be a lasting tribute to Kelly. It will ensure for decades to come that Kelly’s heroic story will never be forgotten by police and the community whom she so tirelessly served “
Senior Constable Kelly Ann Forster VA, tragically died while attempting to save the life of a fellow canyoner, Jennifer Qi, within the Wollangambe Canyon at Mt Wilson on 2 January 2021.

Memorial Board Honouring Kelly Foster.

 

18 September 2021:
This morning, Senior Constable Kelly Foster‘s name was placed inside the Commissioner’s Baton, blessed, and carried to the NSW Police Wall of Remembrance.
In a normal year, the baton would be on the road by now, carried by a convoy of motorbike riders in the Wall to Wall – Ride for Remembrance, all travelling towards the National Police Memorial in Canberra with the express purpose of honouring and remembering fallen police mates.
The bikes remain silent today, but the moment loses none of its importance.
COVID has changed everything, but it will never diminish the memories of the fallen.
Kelly Foster‘s name will stay inside the baton until next year, when it will be carried by the Wall to Wall Riders to the Memorial.
We hope it will be the only name carried.
We remember, always.

21 January 2021
From all of us at Chifley Police District, we would like to thank the community for their love and support in relation to the untimely death of Senior Constable Kelly Foster.
As you can appreciate, we are expecting a significant gathering to bid her farewell, and with the current COVID restrictions, not everyone who would like to pay their respects in person will be able to do so.
We are urging members of the public not to attend the church; instead, please demonstrate your community spirit by forming a socially distanced line along either side of Bridge Street (between Mort and Short streets) from 1:30pm tomorrow (Thursday) to view the procession as it leaves the church.
On behalf of Kelly’s family and the broader NSW Police Force family, thank you for your ongoing support.

Senior Constable Kelly Foster, aged 39, died following a canyoning incident at Mount Wilson yesterday (Saturday 2 January 2021).

Snr Cst Foster attested on 27 August 2010, after which she commenced duties as a probationary constable at Newtown Local Area Command.

She was confirmed as a constable in May 2012.

In May 2014, Snr Cst Foster joined the State Crime Command working as an intel analyst until May 2020.

She was most recently working at Chifley Police District, stationed at Lithgow Police Station.

NSW Police Acting Commissioner Mal Lanyon has extended his condolences to the Foster family on behalf of the NSW Police Force.
“It’s a very sad time for the NSW Police Force and Kelly’s death is a loss to the whole community,” Acting Commissioner Lanyon said.
“To hear reports that Kelly was trying to help another woman when she died demonstrates her commitment to the community she served and the ability to put the needs of others before her own.
“Kelly was a highly regarded and dedicated officer who will be sorely missed by colleagues across the force.
“Her policing career was put on hold when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, however, her strength to survive this and return to work is another testament to her strength and resilience.
“Above all, Kelly was a kind and loving daughter, sister and partner.”

Snr Cst Foster’s family have requested privacy at this time.

Missing canyoners found after sucked into whirlpool in Blue Mountains including NSW police officer

 

There has been a sad end in the search for two missing canyoners after they were sucked into a whirlpool in regional NSW.

The women had not been seen since disappearing beneath the water’s surface on Saturday in Wollangambe Canyon at Mount Wilson, north of the Blue Mountains.

But on Sunday, police divers joined the search and located two bodies around midday.

Police identified the 39-year-old woman as serving NSW Police officer, Senior Constable Kelly Foster, who has most recently been stationed at Lithgow Police Station.

The other woman is believed to be an international student, aged 24, from Chiswick.

She is yet to be formally identified and police are waiting for confirmation that family members are notified.

Witnesses told police the younger woman fell off her inflatable lilo and it was swept into the whirlpool.

Snr Cst Foster was also swept out when she tried to rescue her.

The other members of the group were uninjured.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

NSW Police Legacy

Next up in our Police Legatee Stories series: NSWPF Probationary Constable Harris Landgraf, who’s been with NSW Police Legacy since the age of just nine years old.

Click through to read: https://www.policelegacynsw.org.au/…/nswpl-stories…/

Harris Landgraf

“So you don’t miss being a plumber, then?” I ask.

“Three metres deep in the ground, covered in someone’s turds? Nah.”

Harris Landgraf is a country boy, embodying the very best of the open, friendly, and occasionally earthy outlook that entails. Approaching the end of his first year as a NSW Police Force Probationary Constable, his cheery demeanour has served him well in his chosen profession. But how did he get to this point? Let’s go back a little.

Like a lot of kids in his situation, the first that Harris knew about NSW Police Legacy was when they became a sudden presence in his life after tragedy. When Harris was just nine, his stepmother, Snr Cst Renea Landgraf, passed away. At her funeral, he had his first real experience of the love and community of the Police Family.

“There were hundreds of cops… Dad’s best mate Bushy took us there in his highway patrol car. The church was just filled with police officers. Hugs all round. It was pretty emotional.” To the young boy, it made a huge impression. “That’s when I knew the police were going to be a big part of my family.”

Harris’s father was also a police officer, but Harris didn’t initially enter the force, signing up at age sixteen to do a plumbing apprenticeship instead. At the encouragement of our Community Support Manager Leisa Doherty, he applied for, and received, the Kerslake Scholarship – an award given to fund technical education. He was thrilled at the support. “You know, being a young fella, you get five grand put into your account and all I wanted was that big drill set!”

His next big involvement with Police Legacy came through doing the Kokoda Trek in 2019. It was a transformative experience. He loved sitting around at the end of the day with all of these people who shared a similar story. “You’ve always got someone in your corner understanding where you’re coming from”

Another person on the trek that year was then-Commissioner Mick Fuller, who was hugely encouraging of Harris’s desire to become a police officer. On returning to Australia, Harris asked for, and was given “huge amounts” of support from Leisa and then-Chair Det Supt Gary Merryweather, who helped him get into the Police Academy. Leisa also put him in touch with Cain Anderson, another Police Legatee, who was going through in the class above him. The Police Family really swung into action.

Since attesting in December last year, he’s had a wide variety of experiences, and he can’t imagine now wanting to do anything else. “It’s more than just a job; it’s a passion,” he says. His Dad, now retired, has been incredibly supportive. “I’m living his dream,” says Harris. Dad calls every few days to hear the stories, and check in with how Harris is coping with it all. Things are very different to when his Dad was on the job, with police counsellors and all kinds of support services available. And Harris often finds himself checking in with his colleagues, helping  them decompress from tough days.

As passionate as he is about his newfound career, he is equally passionate about Police Legacy. With the support of his Inspector, he recently organised a tri-state golf day in the region where he’s stationed, bringing together police officers from VIC, SA, and NSW, and raising more than $9,000 for NSW Police Legacy – a phenomenal feat. And apart from the money, he loves that he’s helped to share the story of why this organisation matters. “People say ‘I give money to Legacy each pay, and what do they do?’… but when I tell my story, and what I’ve been through… people say ‘look at what they’ve done!’”

Officers farewell one of their own

(No photo came up)…..

The guard of honour that paid tribute to Senior Constable Renae Landgraf. Hundreds of friends and colleagues gathered to farewell the senior constable at St Brigid’s Catholic Church yesterday.

The drums sounded and police officers saluted as they farewelled one of their own yesterday.

Senior Constable Renae Landgraf, nee Spackman, died as a result of health complications last Friday, at the age of 31.

Her sudden death has rocked Dubbo’s police family and the wider community.

Accompanied by his three sons and baby daughter, Steve Landgraf, an officer himself, was surrounded by hundreds of friends and colleagues as he farewelled his beloved wife yesterday at St Brigid’s Catholic Church.

Speaking on behalf of the family yesterday, Nicole Muir, Jodi George and Carly Stephens painted a beautiful picture of Renae’s life, moving from Western Australia at a young age with her family and residing in Narromine, where she completed her schooling and started work.

In 2001 Renae achieved her dream of being accepted into the Goulburn Police Academy, where she later graduated as probationary constable Renae Spackman.

Renae transferred to Dubbo Police Station in 2005, the same year she married her long-time friend Steve Landgraf, which her family remembers as being the happiest time of her life.

In marrying Steve, Renae welcomed with loving arms his two sons Connor and Harris and then in 2007, Renae was blessed with her first child, Ethan.

In February this year Steve and Renae had their second child, baby girl Mackenzie.

Family members said while Renae’s life was short-lived, she was able to achieve all she had dreamed to achieve and that was to become a police officer, a wife and a mother to a son and a daughter.

As a person, friends and family described Renae as being energetic, loving, fun and ambitious.

She was an extremely dedicated, mother, wife and police officer who worked hard and stuck her neck out for other people.

Superintendent Stan Single read a valedictory at the funeral outlining Renae’s police service and a description of her achievements and commendations.

Renae’s police service follows her father Neil’s army service and the policing career of her husband and role model uncle Peter.

Together with police colleagues a large contingent of nursing and medical staff attended the funeral in support of Renae’s mother, Sandra.

Renae will be remembered by her peers and family for her insistence in having all things right.

Her insistency on right and wrong and her compassion, dedication and work ethic are qualities she has imposed upon a number of junior police she has helped train.

Following the service, one section of Brisbane Street was closed off and Renae’s fellow officers, including drummers marched in front of the hearse as it made its way to the New Dubbo Cemetery for the burial.

Officers on bikes led the procession, and marked police cars transported the family.

National Police Remembrance Day
Tribute to Senior Constable Renae Caroline Landgraf

NATIONAL POLICE REMEMBRANCE DAY
TRIBUTE TO SENIOR CONSTABLE RENAE CAROLINE LANDGRAF
Page: 18486

Mrs DAWN FARDELL (Dubbo) [6.41 p.m.]: On Tuesday 29 September ( 2009 ) I attended the National Police Remembrance Day service held in the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Brisbane Street, Dubbo, at the invitation of Ross Godfrey, Police Chaplain. Similar services were held around New South Wales on that day, which no doubt many other members of this Parliament attended. The Reverend Canon Roger Zohrab, Rector of Holy Trinity Dubbo, carried out the welcome and invocation. Scripture readings and the homily followed by Police Chaplain David Warner, CGS. The solo of Amazing Grace was beautifully sung by David Cooper, RNS Dubbo. Superintendent Stan Single, APM, the Commander of the Orana Local Area Command, addressed the congregation. Police Chaplain David Warner said prayers for the New South Wales police.

Constable Jason Blake, who had not been a member of the police force for very long, read the roll of honour. I will list the names of those members of the New South Wales Police Force deceased during the period 29 September 2008 to 28 September 2009: Sergeant Sean Stephen Lamerton, General Administrative Support Officer Jane Gardiner, Constable Morgan James Hill, Probationary Constable Mason Hammond, Senior Constable Lindsay “Guy” Winkley, Senior Constable Janice Anne Hennessy, Senior Constable Ian West, Constable Gilbert Joseph Roussel and Senior Constable Renae Caroline Landgraf. Renae was one of our own from Dubbo.

Senior Constable Renae Landgraf, nee Spackman, unfortunately lost her life in May this year at the age of 31 as a result of health complications. Her sudden death has rocked the Dubbo police family and wider community. Accompanied by his three sons and baby daughter, Steve Landgraf, an officer himself, was surrounded by hundreds of friends and colleagues as he farewelled his beloved wife at St Brigid’s Catholic Church. In 2001 Renae achieved her dream of being accepted into the Goulburn Police Academy, where she later graduated as Probationary Constable Renae Spackman. Renae transferred to Dubbo Police Station in 2005. In the same year she married her long-time friend Steve, which her family remembers as being the happiest time of her life.

In marrying Steve, Renae welcomed with loving arms his two sons Connor and Harris. In 2007 Renae was blessed with her first child, Ethan. In February this year Steve and Renae had their second child, baby girl Mackenzie. Family members said that, while Renae’s life was short, she was able to achieve all she had dreamed of achieving: becoming a police officer, a wife and a mother to a son and a daughter. Friends and family described Renae as being energetic, loving, fun and ambitious. She was an extremely dedicated mother, wife and police officer who worked hard and stuck her neck out for other people. Superintendent Stan Single read a valedictory at the funeral outlining Renae’s police service and a description of her achievements and commendations. Renae’s police service followed her father Neil’s army service and the policing careers of her husband and role model uncle Peter.

Together with police colleagues, a large contingent of nursing and medical staff attended the funeral in support of Renae’s mother, Sandra. It was a sad and tragic day when Renae passed away. Renae was a vibrant community member. I knew of Renae well and the work she did with the youth in our Dubbo community. Sandra used to attend the National Police Remembrance Day service each year with Renae. She was a true Briton to attend the service on her own this year. It was a tough day for Sandra but hopefully in time it will become easier for her. Renae and Steve’s children Steven, Connor, Harris, Ethan and Mackenzie are in the good hands of their surrounding family and the police force family, as it is known. Our sympathy goes to them all. The National Police Remembrance Day reminds us of the hard work the police perform in our community but it is very tough when it involves one of our own.

Police leap to challenge of helping stricken mate

WHEN Senior Constable Dave Mansfield was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the start of the year, he had many colleagues willing to literally jump to his aid.

Senior Constable Jay Stewart and colleagues Graham Smith, Mick Errickson, Karen Bertram and Steve Bancroft warming up for their Guinness Book of World Records attempt for continuous jumping on a jumping castle.
Senior Constable Jay Stewart and colleagues Graham Smith, Mick Errickson, Karen Bertram and Steve Bancroft warming up for their Guinness Book of World Records attempt for continuous jumping on a jumping castle.

 

As a fundraiser for the father of three, officers from Tuggerah Lakes police are preparing to set a new Guinness Book of World Records mark for continuous jumping on a jumping castle .

The record stands at 37 hours and 14 seconds, and the group is determined to blow that time out of the water at Mingara Recreation Club, Tumbi Umbi, on May 29-31.

Such was the interest in assisting the Mansfield family, organiser Senior Constable Jay Stewart had to knock back some prospective jumpers as only eight are required.

While there is no strict training schedule planned, Sen-Constable Stewart said they had a plan of attack for their record attempt.

“We’re going to try half an hour stints,” he said.

“We were going to try an hour at a time but I don’t know if you could do it for that long.”

The group have set up a Facebook page and are seeking support from businesses in the lead-up to the event.

Sen-Constable Mansfield was speechless when his colleagues told him of their plans, although he confessed to having a laugh when he was told about the jumping castle.

“I thought it was hilarious to begin with,” he said.

“But I’ve been speechless at how much support has been generated.”

Hunter Valley Amusement Hire has donated the use of a jumping castle.

World record attempt to raise funds for cancer sufferer

Eight officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police will begin a world record attempt for the longest marathon bouncing on a jumping castle at Mingara Recreation Club on Friday, May 29.

The attempt is to raise funds for their Tuggerah Local Area Command colleague, senior constable Dave Mansfield, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the start of the year.

SC Mansfield is a married man and a father of a young family, so, according to the Police Association of NSW, his “police family” is banding together to raise funds to assist the Mansfield family.

The current marathon on a jumping castle world record stands at 37 hours and 14 seconds.

“We believe we can blow that record out of the water by jumping well into Sunday,” said Ms Alison McLaughlin, spokesperson for the Police Association.

A family fun day will be held on Saturday, May 30 as part of the world record attempt including raffles, barbecue, NSW Police Dog Unit, POLAIR landing and “Dunk a Cop”.

COAST COPS SMASH WORLD RECORD FOR JUMPING CASTLE MARATHON

Finally tonight, a group of Central Coast police officers has set a new world record for the longest team marathon on a jumping castle, by bouncing for 43 hours and 25 minutes.

They smashed the previous mark by more than six hours.

It was all about raising money to support fellow Tuggerah Lakes officer, David Mansfield, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in February.

“I… I truly am speechless. How do you thank so many people? I guess you keep fighting. This is the most humbling experience I think you could ever have.”

The team consisted of Jay Stewart, Graham Smith, Steve Bancroft, Mick Erickson, Nicole Bird, Jon Paul Dinsdale, Karen Bertram, and Dave Brown. They attempted this record to raise money for a New South Wales Police officer who was diagnosed with cancer.

Tourists saved from Sydney bus inferno

A quick-thinking driver and two alert off-duty police officers saved 32 foreign tourists from the smoke, flames and explosions of a burning tour bus in Sydney.

The group were travelling on the Gore Hill freeway at Artarmon about 6.30pm yesterday when the driver noticed an engine fire, prompting him to stop in a breakdown lane and quickly start evacuating his passengers.

Two off-duty police officers, Constable David Mansfield and Senior Constable Bryon Williams, happened to be travelling in a car nearby and decided to follow the bus after noticing smoke coming from its rear.

“As the bus pulled over we got out of the car,” Senior Constable Williams told reporters yesterday.

“The back of the bus was engulfed in flames and smoke.”

By the time the officers got to the front of the bus, passengers were scrambling to get off.

“Obviously there was a lot of chaos,” Senior Constable Williams said.

“Within minutes the whole bus was alight.

“There were numerous explosions … the windows on either side were blowing out with the heat.

“I thought, if we don’t get these people off there’s going to be a big fatality.”

None of the passengers were injured. The officers and the bus driver suffered smoke inhalation.

All that remains of the bus is a burnt shell.

The freeway at Artarmon was closed between Willoughby Road and Reserve Road for nearly an hour while firefighters fought the blaze, causing traffic problems.

Tourists’ lucky escape from bus blaze

Updated

Two off-duty police officers who had just seconds to save passengers from a burning bus on Sydney’s North Shore last night say they feared the bus would explode.

Senior Constable Bryon Williams and Constable David Mansfield were travelling behind the bus when it caught on fire while carrying 32 tourists on the Gore Hill Freeway in Artarmon about 6:00pm.

The driver pulled over and the officers only had seconds to get the passengers off before flames engulfed the bus.

Senior Constable Williams says the officers’ first concern was the passengers.

“It was out of control. Within a minute, the whole bus was nearly alight. The windows on either side of the bus were blowing out with the heat and the amount of fire and that coming from the bus,” he said.

“It was close… I actually thought this thing’s going to blow up and if we don’t get these people off, there’s going to be a big fatality.

“It was very scary from my point of view, from the point of view of the people on the bus and the poor bus driver himself.”

The fire started in the engine bay of the bus.

The southbound lanes of the freeway were closed for more than an hour, causing traffic problems.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MAN, HIS SERVICE, LIFE AND DEATH ARE WELCOME.


 

Harry Morfoot: An enduring legacy
The work of a 40-year veteran police officer and national serviceman has been recognised with the

unveiling of a distinctive tribute in western Sydney.

 

Harry Morfoot was a member of NSW Police Force from 1959 to 1989, attaining the rank of Senior Sergeant.
But Mr Morfoot’s life of service didn’t end there.

In retirement, he set about forming the Penrith City Sub-
Branch of the Australian National Servicemen’s Association, assisted military veterans and was also a tireless worker for charity.

In 2015, he received the Seniors Week Local Achievement Award for the Mulgoa Electorate. Presenting the award, Ms Tania Davies MP, Member for Mulgoa said, “Harry dedicated a large portion of his time to serving, supporting, and caring for the welfare of community members who served our nation and their families”.

“I feel very humbled and grateful for the special recognition”, Mr Morfoot said at the presentation of the Seniors Week award.

Sadly, Harry Morfoot passed away later in 2015 at age 78, but that’s still not the end of the story. Earlier this year, Harry was commemorated by Penrith City Council with a special tribute – a bench seat in Victoria Park, St Marys.

Graham Larkham ( NSWPF # 13428 ) is a retired Sergeant and was a friend and colleague of Harry and a fellow National Serviceman (Nasho).

He takes up the story:
A FITTING TRIBUTE


On 23 May 2021, the Penrith Australian National Servicemen’s
Association held its 15th Anniversary Memorial and Tribute Laying Ceremony in Victoria Park, St Marys.

The ceremony was attended by Federal and State Members of Parliament, dignitaries from returned services organisations, the Nepean PAC, and members of the public.

During the Memorial, the Mayor of Penrith City, Karen McKeown OAM, unveiled a tribute to former Senior Sergeant Harry Morfoot and sub-branch co-founder, Mr Tom Kelly, in the form of a park bench seat. The seat is adjacent to the Victoria Park Memorial and inscribed with a plaque in
recognition of Harry and Tom.

A lot of young men including Harold Alfred Morfoot were conscripted into National Service. In August 1955 Harry started his National Servicemen’s duties at 12NST Battalion. After initial training, he continued training with the Royal Australian Artillery.

After retiring from a 40 year career with NSW Police, he formed the Penrith Sub-Branch, (Penrith City Australian National Servicemen’s Association Inc.) in 2002 and maintained membership up until his passing in 2015.


Harry was of a generation that rolled their own cigarettes.
His habit of flapping his elbows whilst simultaneously rolling a cigarette and talking, earned him the nickname ‘Flaps Morfoot’.

Upon his passing in October 2015, a joint National Servicemen’s Association – NSW Police Funeral was held, and tributes flowed from Federal and State Members of Parliament.

The Penrith Australian National Servicemen’s Association carries on the legacy of Harry Morfoot’s work. Our 2022 parade will be held on 22 May. All National Servicemen are welcome.

Harry Morfoot’s memory and legacy lives on at Victoria Park, St Marys.

On Police memorial sites
The bench seat remembering Harry Morfoot is the latest public
tribute to those who served the people of NSW.

The locations of some memorials are well known.

For example, Glen McEnallay Reserve near Mascot, and the Jim Affleck Bridge near Campbelltown mark the locations where these NSW Police Officers made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of the community.

Other public tributes may not be as widely known. Sometimes, the Police Association is contacted about a local memorial. When this happens, it is usually because the memorial has fallen into disrepair or requires vegetation control. We are aware of several Facebook pages with devoted administrators keeping track of grave sites and memorials. In the lead up to Police Remembrance Day on 29 September 2021, we’re keen to profile some of these and also invite current serving members and associate members to send us photos of memorials in your area to policenews@pansw.org.au   Please include information about who the memorial is dedicated to, key dates on the memorial and its exact location.

Harry Morfoot, past President of the Penrith City Nashos National Servicemen’s Association.

Harry, a National Service veteran was 78.

Harry had been President of the Penrith City Nashos for more than a decade, when he resigned earlier this year due to poor health. He will always be remembered for his role in developing the Nashos in the Penrith area.

In 2002 Harry and Tom Kelly were members of the Blue Mountains Nasho Sub-Branch, when they thought it was time to form a branch in Penrith. From humble beginnings, the Penrith City Nashos today has around 150 members.

Harry was a tireless worker for charity and through the Nashos he was one of the figures who spearheaded fundraising drives for bodies including the Cancer Council, Salvation Army, the burns and cancer units at Concord Hospital, St John Ambulance, Defence Care and Legacy.

My sympathies go to Harry’s wife Dorothy, children and grandchildren.


 

Your cigarette holder has been remembered and the fact that you also stood up for your Constables within the NSW Police Force.

 


 

THANK YOU TO POLICE LEGACY, W2W COMMITTEE AND RIDERS. ( Wall to Wall )
I would like to say this to you all as a retired NSW Police Officer and Wall to Wall Rider since 2012.
Like all of us, I participate in the Wall to Wall to honour fallen mates, raise much needed funds for Police Legacy and enjoy the comradery that this important event brings. Since late last year I have have been experiencing the vital work Police Legacy do first hand after the death of my father.
I was a second generation Police Officer, my dear Dad, Retired Snr Sgt Harold Morfoot (Harry or ‘H’ as he was known to his mates) passed away at home late last year at the age of 78. Dad was in the job for 30 years working the City and Western Suburbs. He was also Branch Secretary of the NSW Police Association for many years and strong advocate for Police Legacy, as he, like a lot of us also lost mates in the job. Dad also loved motorcycles and did a tenure in Traffic with the Triumph Tiger Sidecar Outfits in the 1960’s.
Dad was more than a great father, he was a close mate to me and I miss him more than I can ever explain.
As you can imagine, my mother Dorothy, his wife of 60 years was devastated by his passing and has had difficulty adjusting to life without him and we had been extremely concerned for her.
Recently a NSW Police Legacy Package was delivered to Mum. Included in the package was a Welcome letter, booklet on grief management, registration forms for her and the Police Legacy Pin. She has worn her Police Legacy Pin each day since receiving it. Mum was overwhelmed at the offers of assistance that this package has given her, and as a Coppers wife of many years she feels privileged to be as part of the Police Family and looks forward to her association with Legacy. She said wearing the Pin helps manage her grief as she knows Dad’s service was valued.
I have already sent a personal thank you letter to NSW Police Legacy but I wanted to thank the W2W Committee and each and every W2W rider as I can see the help that this package has given to Mum, a dedicated Police Officer’s wife and loving Mum who supported Dad through his 30 years in the job. In particular I would like to thank Miss Karen Murphy, Police Legacy Network Co-ordinator who forwarded the package to Mum, Sen Sgt Paul Bousefield, President and Inspector Ian Colless, Treasurer, both old workmates I have the pleasure of saying and who are instrumental in the organising of the ride as well as their Legacy and Policing Duties. I have always known that Police Legacy performs a very important role and have been impressed no end seeing it first-hand. Thank you again on behalf of my family.

Regards and ride safe.
Glen Morfoot.

HARRY GRUGEON


Ted Collins (R.I.P.) May I say this. Jennifer.
I nursed you as a baby.
Played cricket with your dad.
Enjoy car racing with dad and uncle Robert. Reggie Renault was the go.
You chose a job that I chose too.
I left Cowra when you were a child to pursue my dream.
You left many years later to pursue your dream.
Your life was cut short far too early.
I knew you as a princess a small child.
I never saw you in uniform but knowing your parents they were both immensely proud of you.
I speak not only as a former Cowra resident, and we both shared childhoods there, I also speak as a member of which you too belonged the NSW Police Force.. Rest In Peace Jennifer your duty has been done.
I hope you find peace.
I think Cowra has lost a cherished daughter.
My heart goes out to your parents and close relatives that I personally knew.
God bless and share the grief.
Stumpy.
