Service History – Alan Leonard RUDD

 


 

Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995),

Saturday 11 May 1991, page 16

Former gang member arrested

SYDNEY: The arrest of a former Japanese criminal-society member on Queensland’s Gold Coast has focused attention on the movement of Asian Mafia-style gangs into Australia, particularly NSW.

Australian Federal Police and Immigration Department officers arrested 47 year-old Suzuki Sueharu in a raid on a Currumbin Waters flat yesterday. He had failed to reveal his criminal history when applying for a visa.

An AFP spokesman said yesterday that Sueharu had entered Australia from Fiji in February on a visitor’s visa and then begun business activities, including buying land and promoting a planned tourist resort.

Sueharu revealed his former Yakuza ties when arrested and admitted he had hidden his criminal record.

The AFP spokesman would not detail the man’s criminal history but said it was “extensive”.

Being a Yakuza member was not itself a criminal offence, but failing to declare previous criminal convictions was illegal under the Migration Act and made a person an illegal entrant automatically, he said.

Sydney police said more Yakuza members might be operating in Australia, particularly in states with casinos where money-laundering was suspected.

Japanese men were dealing with large amounts of money, particularly in Western Australia, Darwin and on the Gold Coast Yakuza members were easily identified by full-body tattoos, black suits and often had a little finger chopped off.

The society was linked with prostitution, contract murders and drug running.

A spokesman from the organised crime branch ( state intelligence ), Detective Chief Inspector Alan Rudd, said it was “highly likely” that the society was operating in Australia, especially in NSW. He said little was known about the group because its activities had been well hidden so far.

“We haven’t really got much on the Yakuza, but only because we haven’t been exploring in that direction … We tend to have concentrated on the Chinese and Vietnamese groups because we know what they’re up to,” he said.

Inspector Rudd said NSW in some ways provided ideal conditions for the Japanese society to flourish, “because it’s a business centre and there is a lot of real-estate activity”.

A Queensland police report has alleged that the Yakuza, with a $10 billion turn over, launders “black” money through property development.

The report says society members have intimidated legitimate tourist businesses into paying commissions for tour groups to be brought to their businesses.

Alan Millward

4th November 2022

 

Passed peacefully at home with family.

A treasured husband of Jan.

Devoted father to Luke, Charlene and Angie.

Proud grandfather to Lawrence and Paul.

 

Aged 58 Years

 

As per Alan’s wishes, a private family service & cremation was held at the Coffs Harbour Crematorium, Karangi, NSW.


 

Hi All
please see below from Alan Millward’s wife –
Hello everyone, this is Al’s wife, Jan.
Due to very last minute unforeseen circumstances, Monday’s Memorial Service will no longer be held at the racecourse.
In lieu of this our family will be down at Diggers Beach, from 2pm Monday afternoon.
It’s a pretty special spot for us as that’s where Alan and I renewed our wedding vows for our 20th wedding anniversary…which was an unbelievable 18 years ago now. My God, time goes by so fast!
You’re all welcome to join us. Bring along a chair and a choccy milk or lemon squash, or whatever your choice of poison is…I’ll have my cup of tea! If you want something to nibble on, you’ll have to bring that as well I’m sorry to say, as I really don’t think letting me in the kitchen is a good thing right now…I’d probably get distracted and burn the place down. We’ll sit around and share a few stories and celebrate Al’s life and love.
To all those who have contributed to the Go Fund Me thingy that Charlene created for Alan’s Memorial, we will contact you personally over the next few days. We do not want anyone to feel we have misled you and will return your donations if that is what you would like.
To each and every person here, thank you from the bottom of hearts, we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support you have all offered. We will all miss Alan in our own ways.

Upon joining the NSW Police Cadets, Steve’s Service Card reads thus:

Junior Trainee # 3085 ( I don’t think this is recorded correctly.  He was definitely a Police Cadet – not a Junior Trainee.  3085 is his Cadet number.

He was 186cm tall and weighed 77kg with fair hair and complexion with blue eyes.

He was single.

He was licenced to drive vehicles:

GD’s cars, Utes & Light Trucks – passed 19 December 1975

Heavy Trucks, Heavy Patrol Vans & Omnibuses – passed 25 September 1978. ( This would have been for the Rescue Squad ).

Trailerised Police Vessels ( Boats ) – passed 7 May 1982.

He was part of Secondary Training Class 148A and gained a mark of 355 = 88.75%

He attended lectures on the “Techniques of Aerial Observation” at the Police Rescue Squad ( most probably at Marrickville Rescue HQ ) ON 9th & 30th August 1978.  Also attended the Police Disaster and Rescue Branch training course of 1978 / 1979.

He successfully completed the Constable 1st Class course, # 22, from 10 October 1983 – 4 November 1983 inclusive.

I would to relate a really nice story about the great Ken Magnus. As cadets he really helped us all. Later when we knew him in the big world he was at 21 Division as a lot of us ex cadets were going through 21. He was again a very good shoulder for the guys to lean on.
As all you guys would remember Ken had a very deep voice, a very distinctive voice. Remember he would say in our shorthand classes ‘The Honourable Member for Parliament’ and you wrote down the advanced phrase. But his voice was very distinctive because it was so deep.
Anyway the story I wanted to tell you goes back to about 12 years ago when I went with a team of mates on a golf trip at Tea Gardens/Hawkes Nest. The first night we were staying at the Tea Gardens Hotel. We were drinking in the public bar and I was standing with a big group of mates and I could hear behind me this guy talking to a couple of blokes and he had this very distinctive voice, very deep. After a while I could still hear this deep voice behind me and I knew it was Ken Magnus Ali’s The Brewery. So I turned around and could see it was Ken so I snuck up behind him and said in my deepest voice, ‘The Honourable Member for Parliament’. He spun around and said, ‘Cadet who?’ Then he recognised me and we had a big hug, another 10 schooners, lots of old talk. A beautiful night.
I was with Ken talking about the old cadet days and all the famous characters. A really great, great night. That was the last time I saw him. A beautiful bloke.

After Retiring from the employ of NSWPF, Jason ran the successful family business of Seaside First Aid Training at Port Macquarie.

https://www.seasidefirstaidtraining.com.au/


 

Jason is survived by his wife Debbie Bryant; children Joshua Bryant, Danni Mackay & Taylor Bryant; and mother Margo Bryant.

Debbie Bryant is also the name of Ashley Bryant‘s wife.

Jason is the brother of retired member Ashley Bryant (deceased 16 Dec 2013).


 

Tribute: Port Macquarie’s Jason Bryant remembered

The 55-year-old passed away suddenly on January 9.

Mr Bryant was active within the Port Macquarie-Hastings community – including through his employment within the police force, and as a member of the Tacking Point Surf Life Saving Club.

Tacking Point SLSC president Mick Lang said Mr Bryant was an extreme waterman and arguably one of the best Inflatable Rescue Boat drivers on the Mid North Coast.

Mr Bryant put his rescue skills into action when he was involved in a mass rescue on the Hastings River in 1999.

Mr Bryant, who was a Senior Constable at the time, utilised an inshore rescue boat and with a colleague’s assistance, continually entered the most hazardous section of the bar.

They rescued members of the Port Macquarie Sea Rescue group, who had been thrown from their boat.

As a result of his efforts, he received the New South Wales Police Service‘s most coveted honour, the Peter Stuckey Mitchell Award in 2000.

Mr Bryant met his wife Deborah when he was 18-years-old and they were married for 33 years.

The couple had three childrenJoshua, Danielle, and Taylor.

The family enjoyed annual trips to the Gold Coast and spent time at the local beaches and rivers in the Port Macquarie-Hastings.

Mr Bryant served in the NSW Police force for 20 years and he was stationed at Armidale, Byron Bay and Port Macquarie.

After leaving the force, Mr Bryant worked in a number of different roles and also developed his own business Seaside First Aid Training.

Mrs Bryant said her husband loved the ocean but also enjoyed getting out into the bush.

He went camping and on multi day hikes with his family and friends.

Mr Bryant also enjoyed adventure motorbike rides, where he would often stop in the middle of nowhere to take in the scenery and the quiet environment.

BRAVERY MEDAL

Senior Constable Jason William BRYANT,
Port Macquarie Police Station, Hay Street, Port Macquarie NSW 2444.


On the afternoon of 24 May 1999, Senior Constable Bryant assisted in the rescue of six people who were stranded after their vessel had overturned in rough seas on the Port Macquarie bar.

Senior Constable Bryant, on hearing that a local rescue vessel had overturned on a sand bar, made the decision to launch another rescue vessel despite dangerous sea conditions.

Once the vessel was launched, Senior Constable Bryant, who was piloting the vessel and accompanied by another police officer, ( Senior Constable Anthony Francis LONG, NSWPF # 21197.  See page 22 in below link ) proceeded out of the river entrance to the bar.

The surf was at a height that prevented him seeing the stranded people. Through contact with Marine Radio Base, he was directed to the disabled vessel, some 300 metres to the north.

En-route, the other officer was injured as the surf and swell pounded him against the interior of the vessel.

Senior Constable Bryant saw the stricken vessel with two people aboard.

On reaching them, Constable Bryant was informed that there were four people in greater danger as they had been swept away in the water.

Senior Constable Bryant and the other officer located these four people and pulled them aboard, one at a time.

On returning to the stricken vessel, the boat had capsized again and the people were clinging to the sides of the overturned vessel.

Senior Constable Bryant could not take the men aboard as it was beyond the capacity of the vessel, but reassured them that he would return.

Returning to the river entrance, another vessel took aboard the four men and Senior Constable Bryant’s injured colleague.

Senior Constable Bryant immediately returned to the overturned vessel, but the men had been swept away.

Senior Constable Bryant spotted the men some 30 metres away.
On reaching the men, and as he attempted to rescue one of them, he had to turn the vessel quickly to avoid an oncoming wave. On the next attempt, he pulled the man to safety and then rescued the other man.

By his actions, Senior Constable Bryant displayed considerable bravery.

Rescue boat found 1400kms away

 

“THE Sea Rescue’s rubber duckie was washed up on North Beach but the fate of Rescue One, worth around $120,000, with all equipment, was still unknown late yesterday.”

That was how the Port Macquarie News reported the May 1999 sea drama that claimed Port Macquarie Sea Rescue’s boat, Rescue One.

On Monday though, 20 months after the boat sank and disappeared, the fate of the six-metre twin hulled Kevlar Cat was finally revealed: on a Queensland beach, some 1400 kms north of where it went down.

The lead-up to the boat’s sinking was one of the most dramatic events ever witnessed on the Hastings, and culminated in bravery awards for eight members of Port Macquarie Sea Rescue and two Port Macquarie policemen.

The drama began on the afternoon of May 24, 1999, when five Sea Rescue members headed across the Hastings River bar in Rescue One in an effort to ferry supplies to two stranded yachts.

Rescue One however lost power in the high seas and overturned, throwing the crew into the water.

Two other Sea Rescue members went to their aid in the group’s rubber duckie but this too was swamped, leaving it up to Senior Constables Tony Long and Jason Bryant who commandeered another rubber duckie and eventually rescued all the crew in a dramatic hour witnessed by hundreds along the shore.

Port Macquarie Sea Rescue’s rubber duckie was eventually washed up but Rescue One was last seen on May 26 1999, 18 miles off the coast south of Forster. Sea Rescue members presumed the boat had eventually been hit and sunk by a ship.

That is until Monday when Bryan Stewart of Oxley Insurance Brokers in Port Macquarie took a call from a Mackay resident who said the hull of a boat – identified as Rescue One by the writing still visible on the side – had been brought in to a Mackay beach by a Queensland survey boat.

The survey boat had been travelling north when the crew noticed the hull of a boat floating out to sea about 110 km south-east of Mackay.

They winched it aboard.

On arriving at their destination near Mackay, they obtained permission to dump it on a harbour wall where it was noticed by a pensioner, keen to salvage what was left.

He then contacted another Mackay resident, who on closer inspection noticed the partial names of “Oxley Insurance Brokers” and “Port Rescue”, the only writing still visible under layers of barnacles.

Using investigative skills that would make any detective proud, the resident rang Telstra to see if there was a listing for an Oxley Insurance Brokers in Port Macquarie and soon found himself talking to Mr Stewart.

“I was just nonplussed when he rang and thought ‘is he for real?’,” said Mr Stewart, who is still amazed the boat has turned up so far away from where it sank.

Mr Stewart is now waiting to hear from the insurance company, which is the boat’s legal owner after paying out on it more than 18 months ago, to see if the pensioner can salvage it.

There is nothing left of the boat above the hull but amazingly the engines are still attached, although the boat itself “smells pretty bad”.

For Port Macquarie Sea Rescue, the boat’s discovery is wonderful news.

“We’re so pleased about it because we had that boat for 13 years and were very attached to it,” said president Ron Isaacs.

“For the people of Port Macquarie it was a lifesaving vessel and to see it maybe rejuvenated makes us very happy.”

Police service top honour

The award, which is for acts of unselfish heroism, is presented to only one serving policeman a year. It was Sen. Const. Bryant’s role in last year’s dramatic Hastings River rescue that gained him the honour, the latest of many he has received.

In fading light and huge seas, Sen. Const Bryant, along with Sen. Const Tony Long, utilised an inshore rescue boat to continually enter the most hazardous section of the bar and rescue members of the Port Macquarie Sea Rescue group who had been thrown from their boat.

He received his citation during the Northern Region and Port Macquarie Local Area Command Medals and Awards Ceremony held at Port Macquarie Police Station.

The Peter Stuckey Mitchell Medal, one of the state’s most prestigious citations and given to only one serving member of the NSW Police Service each year was presented to Sen. Con Bryant by Northern Region Commander Assistant Commissioner Peter Walsh.

Sen. Const. Bryant said he was most honoured to receive the award.
