It is with sadness that I report the death of Retired Police Sergeant 1082 Ernest Raymond HADLEY (90yrs) who sadly passed away at his Mansfield home on the 14th August 2025.

Ray as he was known, joined the Police Service in March 1961 and Retired in the Rank of Sergeant in January 1987. It would appear that he spent the most of his service on Mansfield Division.

He had been a widower for some time, his dear wife Sheila having passed away in 2018. He leaves sons, Martin and Glynn and daughter Gail, a Grandchild Rachel and a Great Grandchild Eloise.

At this time there are no funeral arrangements known but these will be posted in due course.

Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.
