About 5.20pm yesterday (Monday 16 November 2020), a 24-year-old man allegedly ran from a medical facility in Randwick, while being held in Corrective Services NSW custody.

03.01.2022 Members of the NSW Police Force, friends and family are rolling up their sleeves to donate blood as part of the third annual ‘Bleed4Blue’ blood drive. Bleed4Blue 2020, a three-month law enforcement-focused blood drive, was officially launched by NSW Police Force Commissioner Michael Fuller APM and Det Sgt Breda at the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood Town Hall Donor Centre, earlier today (Tuesday 1 December 2020). The campaign is run throughout the summer months in partnership ...with the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and was established following the stabbing of Detective Sergeant John Breda on Australia Day 2018. Det Sgt John Breda lost almost 12 litres of blood as the medical team worked to save his life after he was stabbed during a police operation at Maroubra. It took more than 100 bags of blood to keep him alive, including 48 bags in one six-hour surgery. Commissioner Fuller said John’s fight for life emphasised particularly within the NSW Police Force the importance of regularly donating blood. It is the nature of our work that we frequently attend situations where people need blood, but that day really brought it home to our police family just how vital blood supply is, Commissioner Fuller said. One of our own survived due to the generosity of those who donated, and Bleed4Blue is our chance to show our appreciation and ensure blood supplies are there for someone else’s loved one. During last year’s campaign, we along with our law-enforcement colleagues from across Australia donated some 4600 litres of blood, which helped save 12,000 lives. We hope that with help of the community even more people will benefit from this year’s Bleed4Blue, so if you are in a position to give blood or plasma, please donate too, Commissioner Fuller said. Since its inception, the Bleed4Blue campaign has generated more than 8600 blood donations and helped save at least 25,000 lives. Australian Red Cross Lifeblood’s Steven Eldridge said while the organisation was thrilled with the response to Lifeblood's recent appeal, the need for blood is ongoing. Historically, we see a drop in the number of people donating over long weekends or public holidays, and donations are needed every day this December, Mr Eldridge said. Bleed 4 Blue is one of the nation’s largest blood drives, and we are fortunate to have the support of NSW Police to help boost blood supplies. The patients this challenge supports includes people undergoing treatment for cancer, newborns, those undergoing emergency surgery, those involved in road accidents and so many more. The ‘Bleed4Blue’ campaign runs from today until the end of February 2021 and will again challenge police from across Australia to take part to see which state or territory can donate the most blood. The NSW Police Force is the defending champion, donating almost 1100 bags of blood during last year’s challenge. For more information on donating visit https://www.donateblood.com.au/bleed-4-blue.
