I worked with Andy at the Cross in the 70s and had a beer with him at a Cross/Darlo reunion a few weeks ago. We laughed about some pretty funny war stories.
In the early 90s I was in the meal room at Riverstone when Andy who had left the coppers was asking John Valmanis for a reference as was applying to rejoin.
You should have seen the look on the Big Vs face, not to mention his comments.
Needles to say he gave him a good reference and he was back!

Victor Hugh Perfect Turner was born 31 January 1899 at North Botany, the name ‘Perfect‘ was his mother’s maiden name.
He was one of three brothers and three sisters.
Some of the brothers fought in World War One but his older brothers made it quite clear that he should not enlist for the war due to the terrible conditions, he instead joined the NSW Police Force.
Victor Turner married on 21 January 1922 to Sylvia Gladys Shipley at Auburn, NSW. He was 22 at the time and a police constable.
Turner was stationed at Petersham police station then Darlinghurst leaving there in 1949. He also did an exchange with the Adelaide police in the late 1940’s, his final post was Parkes Police station as Superintendent 2nd class when he retired on 30 January 1959. During his time with Darlinghurst Police Turner was shot twice during a gun battle on 13 January 1945 with one Stephen Henry Cunningham. Another police office was also severely wounded and they both received a promotion and were awarded the Kings Police and Fire Services medal for Gallantry, by Lieutenant Governor Sir Frederick Jordan at Government House in early 1946. Turner died on the 20 September 1974 and was given a police escort at his funeral.
Police uniform worn by Victor Hugh Perfect Turner
Object No. 2021/30/1
The police uniform was worn by Victor Hugh Perfect Turner (1899-1974). It includes a jacket, trousers, braces, a pith helmet and collection of police badges and buttons. It is a fairly rare survivor from policing in NSW during the 1940s and 50s. The initial police uniform in 1862 was heavy weight wool and there were very few major changes until 1946 when an open tunic and tie became part of the uniform. The Pith helmet was worn during traffic patrols.
The New South Wales Police force is one of the largest police organisations in the English-speaking world. It began as the first civilian police force in Australia, known as the ‘night watch’ it was started by Governor Arthur Phillip in 1789 to guard the town of Sydney. In 1862 all the watch teams were united under the Police Regulation Act to form the NSW Police Force.
Victor Turner served as a policeman at Petersham, Darlinghurst and Parkes police stations between 1920 and 1959.
Retiring at the rank of Superintendent 2nd class.
Turner was awarded the Kings Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry in 1945.
Turner, then Detective Sergeant third class and his colleague Sergeant third class, Horace Victor Hughes both of Regent Street Police Division were shot when attempting to arrest Stephen Henry Cunningham on 15 January, 1945.
Cunningham was a soldier who had gone Absent Without Leave (A.W.L.) and was wanted by police for assault on a Chippendale pawnbroker.
This incident is a reflection of the economic and social conditions in Darlinghurst in the 1940s, It was a tough landscape both for the public and the police.The area was emerging from the renowned ‘razor gang’ wars of the 1920s and 30s, where the battle for the control of cocaine had raged. Australia, like many countries, was recovering from the impact of a recent economic depression and World War Two. In Sydney, in 1945, at the end of the war many soldiers had deserted.
Turner’s grandson Rick Sieber remembers ‘He was a big, tough and no nonsense man, who liked to place the odd bet on the horse races. He also played chess occasionally and didn’t like to lose. He would not talk about his time in the police nor any of the cases he worked on’ [1]

Police trophies presented to Victor Hugh Perfect Turner
Object No. 2021/30/2
1949
These trophies and ceremonial plate were given to Victor Turner by his Darlinghurst police colleagues when he left in 1949.
The trophies have a series of nicknames inscribed on them: ‘Playboy’, ‘The Inspector’, ‘Lyndale’,’ Denali’ and ‘Hurry-Up’ which give some sense of his personality.
The plate is inscribed with ‘To Vic from his friends at Darlinghurst, 4-10-49‘ showing the high esteem in which Turner was held.
Victor Turner served as a policeman at Petersham, Darlinghurst and Parkes police stations between 1920 and 1959. Retiring at the rank of Superintendent 2nd class.
Turner was awarded the King’s Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry in 1945.
During his time with Darlinghurst Police Turner was shot twice in a gun battle on 13 January 1945 with one Stephen Henry Cunningham, a soldier who had gone Absent Without Leave (A.W.L.) and attempted to rob a pharmacy.
Another police office was also severely wounded and both were awarded the Kings Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry in 1945 and received promotions.

The King’s Police and Fire Services’ Medal for Gallantry has been awarded to Detective-sergeants Horace Victor Hughes and Victor Hugh Perfect Turner.
Advice that his Majesty had approved of the award was received by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Frederick Jordan, yesterday.
The two detectives were wounded during a gun fight with Stephen Henry Cunningham, 24, whom they were attempting to arrest in a house at Redfern on January 13.
Hughes was shot in the stomach and Turner in an arm and leg.
The fight ended when Cunningham committed suicide.
Inquiries into the murder of Maurice Joseph Hannigan (68), who was battered to death in a King-street shop last week, have extended to a town in western NSW.
Detectives from the CIB are in the town, and sensational developments are expected.
New evidence was obtained following a gun duel between Stephen Henry Cunningham, who committed suicide after shooting two detectives at Redfern on Saturday.
Detectives left for the country on Sunday, and it is likely that their inquiries will solve more than one recent major crime.
Wounded Detectives
Condition of Sergeant V. Hughes, one of the wounded detectives, continues to improve daily, and doctors are hopeful now that he will recover. Detective-Sergeant V. Turner, the other shooting victim, is improving rapidly.
Commissioner of Police ( Mr. W J. MacKay ) yesterday promoted both sergeants, and also promoted posthumously Constable Eric George Bailey, who was fatally shot at Blayney on Friday night.
Detectives investigating the murder of Maurice Joseph Hannigan (68), who was battered to death a King-street shop last week, expect to solve the crime within 48 hours.
New evidence was discovered following the gun duel in Pitt-street. Redfern, on Saturday, when two detectives were shot and Stephen Henry Cunningham (23) committed suicide.
It is expected that this evidence will help solve the Hannigan murder.
A young woman, whom Cunningham was visiting at Redfern, was interviewed by detectives yesterday.
Condition of Detective-Sergeant V. Hughes, one of the wounded detectives, had improved slightly today. He is still in a critical condition, however. Detective-Sergeant V. Turner, the other shooting victim, is improving rapidly.
George Cooper, 47, who, according to the police, had made a livelihood chiefly by fraud, was sentenced at the Quarter Sessions yesterday to two years and a half Imprisonment. He was convicted of larceny and false pretences.
Judge Curlewis said that he would have made the term one of five years, and declared the prisoner an habitual criminal, if his frauds had been carried out on small shopkeepers, but the victims were big business people, who should have been able to look after their own interests.
Detective-Constable V. H. Turner said that Cooper, when arrested, said: “What I have done is cold-blooded business, and if firms come my way that is their fault.”

ROSS is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance * NOT JOB RELATED
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
March 1980 : Liverpool Police Officer – Constable Ross. McDonald was promoted to the rank of Constable 1/c., while working Court and Prisoner Security Duties at the Liverpool District Court. He was attested as a Probationary Constable in 3/1975 at the Police Academy, Redfern. He was promoted to the rank of Senior Constable in 3/1984.
He also worked at the Campbelltown Community Radio now known as ‘Sounds of Macarthur’ on 100.3FM, as a program on-air broadcaster using the alias media name ‘ Mike McColl ‘.
Although working on-air for many years, in the last number of years his program was heard 1pm to 4pm each Saturday ( either via the radio or via the internet ).
He resigned from the Police after 11 years service.
Then in 8/1992, he re-joined the NSW Police and was stationed at Marrickville on General Duties.
Not sure when he resigned on this occasion due to ill health, but continued his radio career at 100.3FM, until the past few weeks due to ill health.
It is with a heavy heart that I must share the sad news of the passing of our beloved colleague, Mike McColl, from the Saturday afternoon program “The Mike McColl Show.” This morning, Mike left us after battling an illness for several years.
Despite his health challenges, Mike remained dedicated to entertaining his listeners every Saturday. He cherished each and every one of you, and in return, he was adored by many. His passion for his work and his love for all of you were truly remarkable.
During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mike’s family and loved ones. We understand the pain they must be feeling, and we offer our deepest condolences and support.
Mike, you will be greatly missed. Your presence on the airwaves brought joy and laughter to countless lives. Your legacy will forever be remembered, and your spirit will continue to inspire us.
* Story behind any Nickname: Roscoe – play on Christian name. Mike McCOLL was so that the ‘bosses’ at the time, within the NSWPF, didn’t know it was Ross as we ( Police ) couldn’t have secondary employment back in those days – paid or voluntarily.
When Ross was going for his interview for a radio station, he didn’t know what to call himself – as he couldn’t / didn’t want to use his real name.
He thought that because he would be in front of a Microphone, he would call himself Mike. But he still didn’t have a surname and as he was walking towards his interview, he spotted a truck drive past with the company name of McColl – so he then became Mike McCOLL.

Funeral Details
The Funeral Service to Celebrate the Life of Leslie Michael Nugent will be held on Wednesday,
29th May 2024 commencing at 1:30pm at St Matthews Anglican Church, 516 Kiewa Street, Albury.
The cortege will leave for burial at Glenmorus Gardens, Glenmorus Street (end of Union Rd) Glenroy.
Everyone is Welcome.
Members of the Police are respectfully invited to attend.
Police Honours.
Livestream will be available on this page on the day.
Ten members of the NSW Police Force will be formally recognised by the Governor-General in this year’s Australia Day Awards.
The Australian Police Medal (APM) is awarded by the Governor-General, General Sir Peter John Cosgrove, AK, MC, for distinguished service by a member of an Australian police force.
The awards are announced twice annually, on Australia Day and the Queen’s Birthday in June.
Acting NSW Police Commissioner, Catherine Burn, APM, has congratulated the recipients on their nominations and commitment to policing.
“I am tremendously proud to have ten officers – with over 300 years combined service – recognised for their dedication to the NSW Police Force,” Acting Commissioner Burn said.
“These officers are a credit to the NSW Police Force, their colleagues, family, friends and the community.
“The officers bring a wealth of experience and professionalism to the force and I’m happy to thank them for their service and congratulate them on today’s awards. They are all very deserving of recipients.”
The nine recipients of the APM are:
– Assistant Commissioner Gary Worboys;
– Detective Superintendent Greig Newbery;
– Superintendent Clinton Pheeney;
– Superintendent Karen Webb;
– Inspector Bruce McGregor;
– Inspector Mark Hargreaves;
– Senior Sergeant Leslie Nugent;
– Sergeant John Keough; and,
– Senior Constable Anthony George Bell.
Senior Sergeant Leslie Michael Nugent joined the New South Wales Police Force as a Trainee in 1971 at the NSW Police Academy, Redfern. He was attested as a Probationary Constable in 1971, where he was stationed at No. 6 Division (North Sydney). He was promoted to his current rank in 1996 and posted to his current command in 1997.
Senior Sergeant Nugent was confirmed as a Constable in 1972 whilst performing General Duties at No. 6 Division (North Sydney). He has performed Special Traffic Patrol and Highway Patrol duties at Traffic Branch, No. 13 Division (Canterbury), Gundagai, Quirindi, Goulburn, Murray District; where, in 1996, he was promoted to the rank of Senior Sergeant (Traffic Coordinator). He later served at the Albury Local Area Command as the Crime Coordinator, his current position.
Senior Sergeant Nugent has spent a majority of his policing career undertaking traffic-related duties in rural NSW, but it is his involvement in the local community where he has truly distinguished himself as a police officer during his 43 years of service. He has developed a strong link between police and the youth of these communities, in particular the local Aboriginal community. He is involved in a number of youth-orientated committees, which extends on many occasions to working in his own time by attending various events aimed at the local Albury youth. Senior Sergeant Nugent is held in high esteem by the Aboriginal and the Albury community. He has been recognised for the support he provides to the Community Services Child Protection Adolescent Team.
Senior Sergeant Nugent was awarded the National Police Service Medal in 2012, National Medal in 1988 (2nd clasp to the National Medal in 2007) and the NSW Police Medal in 2003 (including 6th clasp to the NSW Police Medal in 2014). In 2012, he received the Commissioner’s Sesquicentenary Citation.
His distinguished service in policing now sees Senior Sergeant Nugent at the Albury Local Area Command, serving the state of New South Wales.

I need to rant for just a moment. I’m getting to the end of my life and I’ve worked hard for it. I have made my reputation, the good and the bad, I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I have worked hard to get where I am in life. I have juggled my job, my family, and made many sacrifices up front to secure a life for my family. It wasn’t always easy and still isn’t, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I made mistakes and tried to learn from them. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you.
However, I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. People who have sacrificed nothing and feel entitled to receive everything.
I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it themselves.
I’m really tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which, no one is allowed to debate.
I’m really tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talk like their opinions matter to the common man. I’m tired of any of them even pretending they can relate to the life and bank account that I have.
I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m upset that I’m labeled as a racist because I am proud of my heritage.
I’m tired of the media spending 99.3% of their time, talking about how 99.3% of the people aren’t considering the inclusivity of what equates to only .7% of the population.
I never stole any one’s land.
I’m tired of being told I need to accept the latest fad or politically correct stupidity or befriending a group that’s intent on killing me because I won’t convert to their point of view.
I’m really tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. Especially the ones that want me to fund it. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I’m really tired. But, I’m also glad to be at the end of my life. Because mostly, I’m not going to have to see the retched, depressing world these useless idiots are creating.
And lastly, because even though I shouted from the rooftops, no one listened or seemed to give a damn. You reap what you sow, and so do your children.
No one is entitled to anything. You have a choice to work, a choice to stay off drugs, a choice to make something of yourself. I have nothing to do with your choice. That’s all on you. You are entitled to what you earn.
There is no way these thoughts will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! Surely, the politically correct police censors will try to quiet us.
While I have copied and pasted this, I have amended it to personalise it. Please do the same.
Scott · I can’t believe it was 21 years ago today that I first held you in my arms. I have loved you every day ever since. Happy 21st Birthday Samantha Molloy, I am so very proud of the beautiful young lady you have become.
Scott · Happy 19th Birthday to my youngest, Nicholas. I am so proud of the young man you have become. I love you so much son, now and always.
Scott · 15 December 2022. Four months ago I had a tracheostomy. The worst part of which was that my little mate, was so scared of it, that he hasn’t given Pa a cuddle since. Today all that changed and to say that I am over joyed is the worlds greatest understatement. Pa loves you with all his heart Vincenzo Giuseppe Villella ❤️❤️❤️
Scott 11 December 2022 · 23 years ago, this beautiful lady said “I do”. Since then she has been with me through me through thick and thin. She has raised our 3 beautiful children and been the glue that has held our family together. You are my love and my life. I will be with you always ❤️
