NSW Fallen Police FB Group:

Judicial Career & Notable Cases: Contempt Rulings: Gained statewide media attention for exercising judicial powers, such as sentencing individuals for contempt of court in regional registries. Criminal & Drug Sentencing: Presided over high-profile regional drug and assault trials, famously issuing stern public warnings regarding alcohol-fuelled violence and “king-hit” attacks in the Riverina district. Mental Health Act Applications: Frequently utilised provisions under the NSW Mental Health Act to direct troubled offenders towards institutional and agency support rather than custodial sentences where appropriate. Aged & Extenuating Circumstances: Noted for balancing community protection with pragmatic compassion, such as discharging elderly or pressured defendants on good behaviour bonds when distinct extenuating circumstances apply. Public Advocacy: Spoke out publicly regarding regional courthouse operations, resource allocation, and government cost-cutting measures affecting smaller regional communities in the Riverina.

ROSEHILL

Bourke’s Law rules the opposition

SYDNEY: Bourke’s Law may have a hole in the neck, but he showed it did not affect his racing ability when he won the Kentucky Fried Chicken Stakes over 1400 m at Rosehill yesterday..

Part-owned by Taree detectives Dan Bourke and Peter Thomas, the impressive three-year-old gelding is named after the television series, Bourke’s Law.

Bourke’s Law, who has won $18,740 in stakes, was bought at the Scone Yearling Sales early last year for $800.

“This was because all other prospective buyers shunned him because of his gaping hole in the near side of his neck”, Thomas said.

‘The large indention, the size of a fist, is the result of an injection mishap when he was a weanling.

Bourke’s Law, the 5-4 favourite, trained by Max Lees at Broadmeadow and ridden by John Wade, came away over the final stages to win by 5½ lengths from Kaidaham, 5-1, with Star Power, 4-1, a long neck away third.

What is radium ?

A white metal with white crystalline salts that shine With a greenish glow in the dark. Radium belongs to the same group as calcium, but is a very scarce element as all the time it is breaking up into other elements. After many millions of years radium changes into lead, and is found in Bohemia, parts of America, Belgian Congo, and Canada. Radium is very valuable because of radio – active properties

Peter John WALSH 01 - NSWPF 11722 - Died 2 May 2026 — Peter John WALSH APM
AKA Peter WALSH, Walshy

Passing of retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Peter Walsh registered number 11722.

Peter joined the NSW Police Force in 1965, retiring in 2003 following 38 years of service.

Peter dedicated his life to the service of the people of New South Wales, not only was he a Police Officer but spent many years as a member of the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) and was even a flight crew member with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter whilst attached to the Northern Region.

Over a distinguished career, he earned the respect of colleagues across the organisation leading through such incidents as the 1991 Strathfield massacre which saw the murder of seven people and the 1995 ambush murders of two officers in his command, Senior Constables Robert Spears and Peter Addison, at Crescent Head near Kempsey.

Beyond his rank and achievements, Peter was a mentor, a leader, and a trusted mate to many.

On behalf of our members, we extend our sincere condolences to Peter’s family, friends and former colleagues. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

May Retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Walsh rest in peace.

* Story behind any Nickname:

“Botfly” came from one of the SenCon’s at Dubbo – but I don’t know why.

“Boxhead” – no idea where / when that nickname adhered to Peter.

“Smiley” – I suppose that was on his face 99% of the time.

“Yapper” – apparently he didn’t mind a conversation.
