I first published this Memorial on the 15 May 2013.  Revisiting it today ( 28 June 2018 ) sent me back to the NSW Police Cadet website and check out those NSW Police Cadets before him ( 1 – 5 ).

#1 was Leo Parmeter CARTER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#2 was Athol MacKintosh McPHERSON  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#3 was Alexander McDONALD  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#4 was Norman Allan SOUTER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#5 was Frederick William TERRY  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

 

In the 1968 “Stud Book” there is no mention of those 5 Cadets.  All 6 of these above blokes, together with another 6 blokes ( below ), were the very first NSW Police Cadets in the newly formed system who all walked into the Police Academy on the 12 June 1933.

# 7 was Victor Thomas DAVIS  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

# 8 was Herbert Frederick NORTH  –  Regd # 4104 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 9 was Edgar John Franks FISHER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

# 10 was Robert Michael THOMAS  –  Regd # 4026 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 11 was Allan Cameron NISBET  –  Regd # 3975 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 12 was Edgar Russell William WILLIAMS  –  Regd # 3917 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

As of this date, none of the above – other than Ron Worboys, has been listed as deceased and would now be in their 90’s.

Where are the very first Cadets of the NSW Police Force and what type of careers did they have?

Cootamundra Herald     Friday  11 December 1953   page 2 of 4

POLICE SOLVE LOCAL MYSTERY  

Cootamundra police were called on yesterday morning to unravel a mystery find by employees of Holme’s Bakery.

Two of the employees, on their way to work at about 7am, found in the lane behind the bakery a man’s watch, hat, packet of cigarettes, tobacco pouch, pencil and a small purse, lying near a pool of blood.

Fearing foul play, they called the police, and Detective Senior Constable Worboys and Senior Constable Lynch were quickly on the scene.

After making exhaustive enquiries with Constable Hickson, the property was identified as belonging to a 46 year old man who said that he had been drunk the night before and must have fallen over and forgot to pick up his belongings.
