Condolences to Mel, family and friends.
Bryson, by all read accounts, was a lovely bloke and well respected Policeman with a great sense of humour.
He completed the Anacapa Sciences Intelligence Course and was then selected into the State Criminal Intelligence Section and was one of those chosen to initiate and conduct Patrol Intelligence Courses at Goulburn academy.
Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.

Hi Cal. Bryson was a class mate of mine. Class 097 had 141 new police trainees including one female commencing on the 28th October 1963. Because of the numbers 2 classes were designated A and B. I think we were sworn in as Probationary Constables on the 7th of December 1963 ready for the ‘Xmas onslaught’ so to speak. He was a really easy going happy go lucky type of person, no doubt this was evident through to his rank of inspector .
