Honour Roll
ON THIS DAY WE REMEMBER
Dickey
Aboriginal Police Assistant
On 2nd of July 1899, Police Assistant Dickey, Constable O'Brien, Constable Farley and two Police Assistants, formed a search party to locate suspects after a man was killed at the Forrest River Mission, near Wyndham.
Constable O'Brien became ill, so he and Constable Farley remained on the boat and sent the Police Assistants to find the suspects and report back.
The Police Assistants returned to the police camp based at the Durack River, East Kimberley and as they relaxed by the campfire, they were attacked by a group of local men. During the attack, Police Assistant Dickey was speared through the heart and died instantly.
Aboriginal Police Assistant Dickey was buried nearby.
Jane KENNAUGH
Senior Constable
On the 1st of July 1996, at around 8.30pm, Senior Constable Kennaugh and Senior Constable Glenn Murray were on duty in the Mandurah area. During heavy rainfall, Senior Constable Murray lost control of the police vehicle, crashing into a tree on the median strip on the Mandurah Road, near Singleton.
Senior Constable Kennaugh was the first female Police officer to be killed on duty in Western Australia.
Senior Constable Murray received severe head and chest injuries and never recovered from his injuries, requiring full time health care.
Senior Constable Kennaugh was given a Police funeral with full honours.
Senior Constable Kennaugh left behind her husband, Paul Spiers, and two children.

The Police Ode
As the sun surely sets:
dawn will see it arise,
for service, above self,
demands its own prize.
You have fought the good fight:
life’s race has been run,
and peace, your reward,
for eternity begun.
And we that are left,
shall never forget,
rest in peace friend and colleague,
for the sun has now set.
We will remember.
We will remember.
Hasten the dawn.
