Stanley Kenneth SINGLE   APM  
AKA Stan SINGLE

 

Stan, prior to joining the NSWPF was a Fitting and Machining apprentice at Gibson Engineering, Gunnedah, NSW.

Stan played as a member in the Police Aussie Rules team trip to Tasmania in 1977.

 

Stan was the founder of the Lightning Ridge Police bush safari and, being a true Bushie, he was also a wood carver.

He is credited with carving the wooden Police Batons that hold the names of Fallen Australian Police, who have died throughout Australia as a result of their Duty, for the Wall to Wall Ride of Remembrance to Canberra each year.

Throughout his distinguished policing career, Stan earned the respect of colleagues across the NSW Police Force. However, many within the Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance family will also know Stan as the craftsman who hand-carved the Commissioners’ Batons, creating a lasting symbol of remembrance for fallen officers and those they left behind.
Through his dedication, skill and generosity, Stan’s contribution will continue to be carried by riders and remembered by the policing community for many years to come.
