Dear Andy

Please accept my resignation from the Police Association as of June 19, 2003. I am leaving SAPOL to take up a position in the private sector.

The past 14 years have gone so quickly and I have been very fortunate to work in some terrific postings with some great people who will remain life-long friends.

It is very difficult to encapsulate a career and thank everyone in a few short lines. To the members of team 4, region B, my first posting, thanks for providing so many laughs and so many stories to reminisce over. The three years I spent at Surveillance were the most exciting, yet challenging in my career. Thank you, Jimmy Mac, for your support and encouragement during some of those challenges. Last, to Christies Beach CIB, in particular team 3, Millhouse, Bratch and Gordgy. We did some damn good jobs and had some damn good fun. Keep laughing guys.

To the Police Association executive, thank you for everything you do for the members on a daily basis. While the majority of the work you do goes unnoticed, it is still very much appreciated and needed.

I am sad at the thought of not being a copper any more, and losing the family that comes along with it, but a wise man once said to me that it is the things in life that you don’t do that you regret. To that end, thank you, and goodbye.
Sincerely
Rebecca Kuss

Dear Andy

Please accept my resignation from the Police Association of South Australia due to my resignation from SAPOL, effective June 25, 2003.

I’m moving over to Apollo Bay in Victoria to set up home and hopefully work closely with the community there.

Thanks to the kick-ass bunch of people I had the pleasure to work with at Parks, Port Adelaide and Henley over the past year. You guys made it an unforgettable experience and I will wear my beanie with pride.

Good luck to all members and mentors of course 42, and may your careers in SAPOL last a hell of a lot longer than mine.
Cheers

Dear Andy

Please accept my resignation from the Police Association of SA as from July 23, 2003, which is my last day of service. After 38 years and five months, I’ve decided to call it quits.

I say farewell and arrivedercci to all and thank those who I have worked with over the years, particularly all the staff from the now defunct Traffic Adjudication and Port Adelaide CJS, where I’ve spent the last three years.
Yours sincerely

Dear Andy

I advise of my resignation from PASA effective August 6, 2003, to coincide with my retirement.

Thanks to current and previous Police Association executives for the many improvements in pay and conditions in which I have been lucky enough to share. We should all simply acknowledge that these advances did not come by chance but through your vision and hard work.

No better opportunity exists for me to thank all those who made work a joy for me. I hope the future for each of you provides what you would want it to provide.

My academy postings have allowed me to see most of SAPOL personnel in a training environment. It’s nice to retire knowing the job is in safe hands.
With thanks
John Minagall
