A NSW Police officer has been found dead in the city’s inner-east. Police Commissioner Karen Webb has visited the station to console devastated colleagues.
Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.
A new senior officer will start his duties today, as Inspector Daniel Skelly opts for a sea change and takes over as the officer-in-charge of the Raymond Terrace sector.
Inspector Skelly has moved from Dubbo up to the Port Stephens-Hunter PD, as Chief Inspector Al Janson ( # 28475 ) takes up a position further south on the Central Coast.
Inspector Skelly says he is looking forward to getting to know the local community and improving the liveability of the area.
“I’m eager to start and take on the role of Raymond Terrace OIC, whilst looking at parts of customer service to help ensure the community receives the best service when dealing with local police.”
Commander, Superintendent Gillies, would like to thank Chief Inspector Janson for his years of service and wealth of knowledge at Port Stephens-Hunter PD and wishes him all the best with his new appointment.

NSW Police Inspector Dan Skelly embraced his role as a country cop but with life throwing him a “curveball” recently he’s reluctantly saying goodbye to the region.
EMERGENCY SERVICES Inspector Dan Skelly departs Dubbo
Dubbo Photo News

Dan Skelly says he didn’t want to move here, but now calls Dubbo home.
DAN SKELLY leaves Dubbo after five years as a police inspector working in the Orana Mid-western Police District.
From a media perspective, he’s taken phone calls night and day, on or off-duty and has been willing to help at any time to get the best messages out to the community.
He’s also been involved in plenty of behind the scenes community work and he’ll be sorely missed by the many people he’s assisted, on the job or not, during that time.
Most cops who grow up on the coast don’t put in transfers to come out west, where the summers are hot and the beaches are, almost non-existent.
Inspector Dan Skelly hadn’t heard of Dubbo’s Sandy Beach until he arrived in town so after having Newcastle and the Central Coast beaches his playground, he didn’t think much of it.
“I was transferred into Dubbo from Wyong and when I first got here, being a boy from Newcastle, my goal was to get back. Every time I’d travel back to the coast I’d pass the 100k speed sign at the bottom of Mugga Hill thinking, ‘one day I’m going to pass this for the last time’.
“Five years later it’s a different ball game. I’ve called Dubbo my home, I’ve got my immediate family here, my wife and my son, but when I pass that sign this week going back to work on the coast I’ll pass it with a heavy heart because I’ve been privileged to work with some great people in Dubbo and I’ve also been privileged to make friends with a lot of good people,” he said.
He said Dubbo’s community vibe has really hit home, with so many locals he’s met who spend so much of their time working for the betterment of the city rather than for their own personal gain.
He says that volunteer work makes the city far more liveable.
“When I first came here I couldn’t wait to go. Now, I wish I could stay,” he said.
Inspector Skelly said it’s a story you hear from so many police who grew up in Sydney or along the coast and then get told they’ll be working west of the Sandstone Curtain. They loathe those travelling orders but then after being thrown in the deep end, they make it work better than they ever believed possible.
He says while it can be difficult initially, being transferred as part of the job can be a blessing in disguise, forcing you out of your comfort zone and never regretting it.
“I’d never been to Dubbo in my life. I had to look on the internet to see the best way to get here, but yes, it does force you out of your comfort zone and it makes you go out and experience other things, it becomes the new normal in your life,” he said.
Dan Skelly is leaving town not for a promotion or the prospect of an exciting new job, but for medical reasons.
He had a sudden and surprising diagnosis of Leukemia in December last year and he’s preparing for a stint at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital next month for treatment.
“Because of that treatment I’ll be off work for six months and the police have been kind enough to transfer me back to the Newcastle area where all my extended family live,” he said.
“The support I’ve had has been tremendous. I can’t speak highly enough of my boss, superintendent Peter McKenna and western commander Geoff McKechnie, all the senior management staff at Dubbo and all the troops at Dubbo police station have all been fantastic with their support.
“All the other people that I’ve met in the community have also been great, they’ve really rallied and been very interested in my progress during this time of adversity,” he said.
Inspector Skelly said he’ll get better, and he’ll be back, waiting until the travelling and gathering restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have eased.
“When all the embargoes have been lifted as far as social distancing is concerned, I certainly will be having a few drinks with some people back here in Dubbo,” he said.
“Where I come from in Newcastle, I was lucky enough to grow up when it was still really a large country town and people had attitudes similar to those in Dubbo where everyone says g’day as they walk down the street.
“The good part of the community here is 100 per cent behind the police. People are always there willing to help us, it’s just a different and slower pace of life out here that I’ve become accustomed to and really cherish,” he said.

Talking about come backs, what about the 19 or so Golden Oldies, all Navy or ex-Navy, who took on the youth of our service. The Golden Oldies at times needed help just getting on the paddock but displayed fine skills and straight running. (Let’s face it, it’s further running across field). Up front the team was led by the irrepressible WOPT Bill Stokes and Barry Learoyd who, along with Neil Thompson, played strongly.
Benny Hill and Jimmy Fern also showed the touches that took them to ASRU honours.
But the player of the day was Col Kelson, an ex E.R.A. (ask an old chief what that stands for). He hadn’t pulled on a boot for 11 years and took the field at 46. Col played in the centres and there were certainly some sore opponents, I for one would loved to have seen a young Col going round.
