Deepest condolences to Mick’s family, friends and colleagues.

I worked with Mick, on GDs, at Fairfield Police Station in the late 1970s – very early 1980s and remember his Raucous laugh.

He was a lot of fun to work with and just a funny bastard to be with and his ‘comb over’ his thinning hair – would never stay in place.

May you Forever Rest In Peace old mate.

Cal ” Uncle Charlie ”

Mick was one of the first Life Members inducted into 22 Division ( Liverpool ) Police Rugby League. He loved his Police footy and was happy to hear about your success before his passing.  Go the Bulls.

Greg Sweeney.

Prior to joining the NSWPF, Mick was employed at a Pastry cook for 7 years, 2 months and a Confectioner for 8 months and was a fully qualified pastry cook.

Although he was widely known as Mick – his Christian name was actually Hugh ( and it is Hugh SWEENEY that he went by on his application to join the NSWPF ).

He was described as 5′ 11″ tall, weighing 12 stone, with Hazel eyes, Fair complexion & Fair hair ( I wonder if it was as thin back in 1960 ? ).

He was Married at the time.

He obtained, at completion of Training Class 85A, a mark of 54%.

He could type, on the 15 June 1961, 20 W.P.M.

He completed the three day course in Civil Defence in January 1962.

In June, 1973, SenCon Mick Sweeney was attending a motor vehicle accident on the Camden Valley Way, Leppington, near the Leppington Lawn Cemetery, at night and in a dark patch or roadway, when he was struck by a passing vehicle.

At the time, Camden Valley Way was a sealed roadway with gravel edges, one lane each way and very poorly lit – and similar to an outback country road.

The impact caused him to be thrown a fair distance through the air, landing on the roadway in his head.

Mick received serious head and other body injuries which were life threatening at the time.

He was hospitalised at Liverpool for 10 days before a miraculous recovery and he then returned to work.

He Retired in 1991 whilst attached to Merrylands Police Station.

In March 1974, SenCon Mick Sweeney and Cst Peter Gould ( # 15542 ), attended a factory at Green Valley and removed a 4 foot red belly black snake.

The Constables managed to get the snake into a cardboard box and conveyed the confined snake back to Liverpool Police Station.

There, the snake escaped from the box, causing staff to head for higher ground.

Some jumped onto tables, chairs and counters to escape the snake.

It then took a brace and courageous Senior Constable Roger BERGAMIN ( #10682 ) to capture the slim 4 foot snake with a stick and return it to the box and seal it.

I can imagine the raucous laughing going on.
