Message from the Chiefs
Hello,
Thank you all for remaining dedicated to the Department throughout 2019 and thank you to our very dedicated Command Members for constantly innovating their divisions and spending countless hours both off and on the server to keep the PD running smoothly and allowing us to progress to where we are today. This year, we have seen several very positive changes being made to the Department and intend on starting the new year with a positive attitude and plans for some big changes that have yet to come that will be finalised throughout 2020. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! We hope to see you back and in full swing at the start of the new year.
Regards
Chief of Department Peter Wolf

I hope he continues down this path. - Captain Davey McCormack [People Services C/O]
Police Meritorious Achievement
Awarded to: Lieutenant Jimmy Brown (@Mimball)
Mimball is receiving the Police Meritorious Achievement due to his immediate will to step up in my unexpected absence and ensure that the Road Traffic Unit continues running well. He has been an exceptionally good command member since recruitment and it was a surprise to see how quickly he got stuck in about the workload. Thank you so much and keep up the good work! - Captain Janice McGlinchy [Road Traffic Unit C/O]
Police Distinguished Service
Awarded to: Staff Sergeant Shay Shnider (@Shay)
Staff Sergeant Schnider is being awarded the Police Distinguished Service since his time as Acting Lieutenant. Shay has done exceptionally well since my absence.

His work ethic towards the division has not gone unnoticed. - Captain Jay Wood [Internal Affairs C/O]
Police Meritorious Achievement
Awarded to: Lieutenant Schneider Ficklestein (@A1L)
A1L has shown great work ethic within the TFU Division, for this we have decided to award him with the Police Meritorious Achievement award. He has constantly shown an extremely good attitude to work, he is always willing to participate with all aspects of the recruitment cycle and his achievements have not gone unnoticed by Tactical Firearms Command. - Captain April Flynn [Tactical Firearms Unit C/O]
Medal of Valor
Awarded to: Staff Sergeant Samuel Sheppard (@Samuel)
The Chiefs of Department would like to thank Samuel for his commitment to the Police Department's growth and development. His work as Chief of Department has been momentous and the Police Department would not be where it is today if it wasn't for his countless hours of hard work spent on improving the PD throughout his various previous roles and most notably as the Chief of Department. For this, we have awarded him with a Medal of Valor following his resignation from Chief of Department. - Chief of Department Jessica Barber
Police Distinguished Service
Awarded to: Lieutenant Schneider Ficklestein (@A1L)
Captain Maas is receiving the Police Distinguished Service Award due to their outstanding dedication and enthusiasm towards their role in People Services. He’s been a member of the division for some time now and throughout this period I’ve seen nothing but dedication and effort. Working in a very small team shows just how much he contributes to the division and I don’t believe the division would be anywhere near its current standing without them. You’re a real asset to the division, keep up the good work. - Captain Janice McGlinchy [People Services C/O]

Senior Management Team
- There haven’t been many key moments this month, however, there have been some changes within SMT that are still continuing. We’ve seen our previous Chief of Department @Samuel step down and was replaced by Chief of Department @Collier, we’ve also seen Deputy Chief of Department @Dom_ step down from his position. This means that there are a lot of SMT positions open at the moment and we wish the best of luck to all applicants.
Patrol
- Earlier this month, Patrol launched their first set of Training Videos which can be found here. These videos are essential to any Officers wanting to learn more about how to conduct certain duties such as performing a Traffic Stop on a vehicle or how to follow certain policies.
Activity Reports
- Activity Reports for December have just been released, We will be working through these over the next few days to get them all finished! If anyone has any questions or concerns please create a helpdesk ticket towards People Services
