On behalf of the entire membership, we congratulate the following Police Association members who were recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours List.

Order of Australia Medal

Inspector Nathaniel Russell

Australian Police Medal

Senior Sergeant Michael Ashton
Acting Assistant Commissioner Brendan Bannan
Superintendent Tony Biggin
Sergeant Graham Milburn

Given the outstanding contribution of all of our members on this list, it is disappointing that not all were recognised by the Victoria Police Force in the recent Gazette and in the media coverage at the time.

The Association is proud of the fine work undertaken by these award recipients, and all of our members, in what is a difficult and often thankless job.

Paul Mullett
Secretary
