December 2024

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.
