There are THREE people with the surname ANDERSON in this Class. M.L. ANDERSON # 11939 / P.J. ANDERSON # 12038 / Cadet N.T. ANDERSON # 12083.

There are two people with the surname of MORRIS in this Class. Peter MORRIS # 11948 & R.R. MORRIS ( Cadet ) # 11936.

Mike Stephens Visual Storyteller · March 31, 2019 Posting two group photos taken 40 years apart of the same members. My Class 87A from 29 May, 1961 and our 1st reunion 40 years later 2001 at the Swansea RSL Club Lake Macquarie. Our class was the first to pass the 9999 registered Nos into the 10,000s.
When Ida joined the NSWP in 1961 she was older than her peers but brought with her the experience of working in the private sector. Ida’s early years of policing were in the traditional field of looking after the wellbeing of women and children. In 1973 she joined a number of women and undertook the Detective’s Training Course, which she completed with distinction. Ida’s work in criminal investigation at Central Police Station spanned 1974 – 1981 after which she moved to Waverley Police Station and then Kogarah where she was the detective sergeant in charge of Rockdale Police Station. In 1978 Ida was awarded the W.D. & H.O. Wills Trophy for the most outstanding female police officer. Ida’s background as an accountant served her well, as her later interest and roles involved working on the development of systems, including the Crime Information and Intelligence System and Licensing System. These skills fitted perfectly with Ida’s final role as Commander, Telephone Intercept Branch ( 1988 – 1992 ). Ida retired from the NSWP in 1992 at the rank of Chief Inspector after 31 years service. Ida was awarded the Australian Police Medal in 1989.
