Police Monthly May 2013 - NSW Police Force

IN BRYSON’S MEMORY
The Bryson Anderson Memorial
Shield Rugby League Match was held
at Ballina Seagulls Rugby League
ground on Sunday 24 March.
Following an initial game of touch
football to start the day, a Rugby
League game was played between
Richmond and Tweed Byron LACs.
Both games were held in honour
of deceased officer Det Insp Bryson
Anderson VA and included players
from Northern Region and FSG
Lismore Crime Scene.
Supt Stuart Wilkins, Commander,
Tweed Byron LAC said the event was
a huge success.
“It was a fantastic day with great
camaraderie,” Supt Wilkins said.
“It was wonderful to see everyone
coming together – with a great crowd
of hundreds that showed up to lend
their support and raise funds for
Bryson’s family and to support the
players from both sides.
“The games were played in the
right spirit, with a lot of fun and
enthusiasm for such a worthwhile
cause. The main event and highlight
of the day was the Rugby League
game which was played at a frantic
pace with Richmond proving too
strong for Tweed/Byron in the end,
running out winners 30 points to 24.
After the games a number of
jerseys were auctioned off, raising
over $4500.
Thanks go to the organisers for
such a great day and to the sponsors,
First State Super, the Police Bank,
and the NRL Rugby Leagues Clubs for
their contributions to this very worthy
cause. We are looking forward to
next year’s event.

Thank you to all officers involved! I won’t say which one, but one of those streets is my street. I hate living here
but feel safe because I see the police patrol frequently doing their rounds. Keep it up especially around the parks
and car parks.

I was in a shopping complex in Tamworth in October 2010, and the late Snr Cst Rixon was waiting in line behind
me. I was unfortunately 10c short for a drink I wished to purchase, and complained to myself verbally about being
thirsty. Snr Cst Rixon asked me how much cash I needed, and generously handed me the 10c I required. Just a
suggestion, next time there’s a major incident in the Oxley LAC, perhaps a strike force could be named in his
honour, to remember the bloke he was, and the legacy he leaves behind. RIP David
