Associated
with the service of Peace Officer George Henry Doxey, who was born in
Derbyshire, England, in October 1904. Doxey emigrated to South Australia
in 1923 as part of the 'Barwell Boys Scheme' for young
apprentices.
Owing to poor eyesight, he was
rejected for active service in the Second World War, and instead became
a Peace Officer, providing night time security at the Islington Railway
Workshops (SA) from about 1942 until the end of the war. George Doxey
died in Adelaide in May 1969.
Originally established in 1935, the Peace
Officer Guard organization was set
up as a section of the Commonwealth Investigation Branch (CIB), the
first national (rather than State) police organisation. |
| The
Peace Officers provided personnel for the guarding of Commonwealth
establishments, and were the first uniformed element of national law
enforcement. In 1960, they combined with the plain clothed element, the
Commonwealth Investigation Service, (CIS) to form the new Commonwealth
Police, which in 1979 became the Australian Federal Police (AFP). |
