JB, you were a best friend, a mentor and a brother to me and Godfather to my Son. What greater honour that when a man moves forward, he leaves behind in each of us, the best of what he was. A defender, protector, supporter, victor, a warrior. The last of the breed from a bygone era. Sincere condolences to VJ, Peter and families. RIP Digger

Police seize drugs ‘destined for WA leavers’
Posted
WA Police have seized more than 150 packages containing illicit drugs, in a four day blitz in the lead up to Leaver’s week.
The packages contained mostly methamphetamine, but also ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, cannabis and a range of other drugs.
Acting Commander John Ballantyne said many of the intended recipients would now face charges including possession and possession with intent to supply.
“Some of the intended recipients have been identified as being 17 and 18 years old, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that some of those drugs could have been destined for Leavers,” he said.
“What I do know is that none of those drugs will make it to Leavers.”
The organised crime squad and canine unit were involved in the operation targeting drugs sent through the post.
Police said they were still trying to determine whether the drugs were purchased online and whether they came from interstate, overseas or a combination of both.
The purpose of the operation was to limit the amount of drugs on the street during Leavers, which begins on Monday.
The seizures ranged from small packages to larger ones, including 100 ecstasy tablets, 84 grams of amphetamine, 87.5 grams MDMA powder and 100 LSD tabs.
Acting Commander Ballantyne once again urged parents to talk to their children about the dangers associated with illicit drugs.
“It’s up to parents to talk to their leavers now to make sure they make the right decisions, not the wrong ones, a bad decision now could lead to implications into the future which could have far reaching consequences.”
WA Police officers awarded Australia Day Honours policing medals
FIVE of the State’s police officers have been recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours.
Superintendent John Ballantyne, Superintendent Brad Royce, Inspector Kerry French, Inspector Kim Travers and Sergeant Jodie Pearson have all been awarded the prestigious Australian Police Medal.
Superintendent John Ballantyne
Superintendent Ballantyne has served the WA Police with distinction for 37 years.
During this time he has led the way in metropolitan and regional community policing, state and
national criminal investigations, corporate project management, overseas peacekeeping and district management.
New inspectors join Pilbara district office
Two new inspectors have joined the Pilbara police district office in Karratha.
Ken Nicolson will be supervising police stations in West Pilbara.
John Ballantyne will oversee crime management and governance.
They are replacing Inspector Craig Lockhart who has moved to Perth and Inspector Phil Clews who is moving to Broome.
Inspector Ballantyne has just returned from a stint with the Australian Federal Police in the Solomon Islands and East Timor.
His role in the Pilbara will be to “police the police”.
Inspector Ballantyne says his new role will provide a challenge.
“It’s to ensure that the police within the Pilbara adhere to the policies and the procedures of the WA Police Service and indeed the statute laws set by Government,” he said.
