  1. I was Alf’s Chief of Staff at South Region before he retired. The smartest cop I ever worked with. He handled the disciplinary matters arising from the Royal Commission with dignity and true understanding. He should have won the job as Commissioner instead of Peter Ryan. A good friend and an honest cop. Truly one of the best. RIP my friend.

  2. My first real “boss” as a new Sergeant in Sydney. Never go to him with a problem without the solution. Great bloke to work for. If you were in the right, he would back you to the hilt. If you were’nt, well that another story.
    Condolences to Alfs family and friends. RIP Sir, your tour is done.
