He passed away, unfortunately.
It was one of the most...
difficult things I'd dealt with as a police officer.
And then looking after the staff, you know, the staff were so important because, you know, we were all close.
So Gordie, a tragic situation.
And, you know, I'd only moved him at one stage there from Highway Patrol into General Duty just for a rotation.
that's what he wanted.
And he was just a very polite, respectful, professional police officer.
To lose your life, you know, working radar, you know, who would come to work thinking that's where it's all going to end.
But yeah, that was.
Look, there was a huge work cover investigation and I must say that the investigation, like it was one of the most difficult things that I'd sat through and answered questions.
really sort of turned my guts the way work cupboard back then operated the inspector who was conducting himself with the investigation.
But it was an accident.
You know, the officers, could they have, you know, undertaken radar duties differently?
Benefit of hindsight, you could probably say, look, they could have, but the bottom line was it was an accident.
Mm-hmm.
And the boys were trying to do, you know, a professional job and save the lives of other people on the freeway, you know, the amount of speed and different things that occur on the M1.
And, you know, probably what I turned my mind to for weeks after was just looking after the rank and file.
Because they'd already lost another officer before my time at Gosford.
Again, highway patrol officer who lost control of his vehicle in I think it might have been a pursuit.
