Former Senior Sergeant and Victoria Police Valour award winner Royce Davidson died in Sale last month at the age of 90.
An officer renowned for his dedication to the local community, he served at Morwell for more than a decade before transferring to Rosedale where he finished his career in the force.
Working as a Constable at the Morwell Police Station from 1966 to 1970, now retired officer David Grant worked closely with Mr Davidson for four years and said it was deeply saddening to hear of his passing on June 21.
“It was pretty sad really as I had known him for a very long time, I kept in contact with him long after we stopped working together in the late 1960s and it is just very sad to see a man of his calibre gone,” Mr Grant said.
Nine exemplary Victoria Police employees are among today's award recipients in the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours List. The Victoria Police recipients are.
