NSW Governor to attend attestation with honorary rank The New South Wales Governor, as Honorary Governor of the NSW Police Force, will conduct the final inspection of new police recruits at the attestation tomorrow. Her Excellency Professor The Honourable Dame Marie Bashir AD CVO, will be the Reviewing Officer at the attestation parade at the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn tomorrow (Friday 22 August 2014). Her Excellency and her husband, Sir Nicholas Shehadie AC OBE, will join NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, NSW Premier Mike Baird and Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Stuart Ayres, as part of the official party. This attestation will be Her Excellency’s first since being appointed Honorary Governor of NSW Police Force by Commissioner Scipione last month. Commissioner Scipione said the appointment acknowledges Her Excellency’s significant contribution to the Force and associated charities whilst Governor of NSW. “Her Excellency has long been a great supporter of the NSW Police Force; standing alongside us when we commemorate our milestones, celebrate bravery of officers and mourn our fallen colleagues,” Commissioner Scipione said. “We recognised this support by welcoming Her Excellency into our police family as the Honorary Governor of the NSW Police Force.” It was the first appointment of this rank in the history of the NSW Police Force. “In addition to a Commissioners Commendation for Service and the Commissioners Sesquicentenary Unit Citation, we marked the occasion with a Colour Board and Her Excellency’s own NSW Police Force uniform,” Commissioner Scipione said. Her Excellency will wear the uniform for the attestation ceremony tomorrow.
