Can you believe we are in 2025! The 21st Century is flying by very swiftly. I hope your year has been peaceful so far. Ours has been action packed. We kicked off in early January with the Hawkesbury Police Area Command Champions running a fundraising sausage sizzle at the local PCYC. Our Police Legacy Champions are in every command. They are police employees hand-selected by the Commander to represent NSW Police Legacy.

As always, the January Adventure camp for our 8-18 year-old Police Legatees delivered on its name, with more than 40 kids coming in from all around the state to spend a glorious, adventurous, activity-filled week at the Lake Ainsworth Sport & Recreation Centre in Lennox Head. Rock climbing, water sliding, singing, dancing, painting, swimming, Movie Worlding, Wet-and-Wilding, and sunrise walks on the beach were just the tip of the iceberg. Phew!

On Australia Day, our Police Legatees were given the rare opportunity to take part in the traditional Ferrython on Sydney Harbour. Our intrepid Community Support Officer / Bear Lady / Roving Reporter Pauline Taylor was there on the day, along with nearly 60 Police Legatees and families, and tells us that the day was spectacular!

All NSW Police Legatee children/young adults who attend day care, school, or university/higher education, are eligible to apply for an Education Grant to help with the purchase of IT equipment, books, school uniforms etc.

On Sunday 1 September, Allianz Stadium in Moore Park came alive to the sights and sounds of the inaugural Sydney Roosters Emergency Services event. The NSW Police Force demonstrated their skills to a crowd of over 27,000, with demonstrations from the Rescue & Bomb Disposal Unit, Mounted Unit, Traffic and Highway Patrol, Public Order & Riot Squad, Dog Unit, and Marine Area Command.
