On September 27, at the NSW Police Wall of Remembrance, and all around the nation, National Police Remembrance Day was celebrated. Before the ceremony, our Chair Det Supt Donna McCarthy held a private Touchstone Ceremony, where members of the Zucchetti, Burns, and Schell families were presented with the Touchstones of their loved one.

At the service we honoured the names of NSW Police Force’s Sergeant Peter Thomas Stone, and SA Police’s Brevet Sergeant Jason Christopher Doig, who died while on duty, as well as the serving members of NSW Police who have passed away in the last 12 months:

Administrative Assistant Sivarajasingham Sivakumarasingham

Chief Inspector Matthew John Jeremiah Meares

Senior Constable Tanya Louise Smith

Detective Senior Constable Joanne Katherine Travers

Chief Inspector Daniel James Sykes

Sergeant Joshua David Kasun

Communications Officer Nicholas Jones

Sergeant Penny Ann Armstrong

Sergeant Leslie Michael Nugent

Senior Intelligence Analyst Fiona Taylor

Administrative Support Officer Ashley Linden Feeney

Probationary Constable Timothy John Wally Sheppard

General Administrative Support Officer Tammy Leigh Nagle

 

After the ceremony, three of our young Police Legatees – Oscar, Max, and Bronte – were presented with the Commissioner’s Scholarship. This award has the personal endorsement of the Commissioner, and each young Legatee receives money to support them in their chosen studies and endeavours.

A day of love and remembrance, a day of sadness and of promise.

Nugent, Leslie Michael – John Hossack Funerals


 

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.
