*BM was Awarded to Greg for a rescue from a burning building at Kings Cross.

In honour of Gregory Peter Rehn
18/12/1965 – 03/12/2014

Greg’s citation for his Bravery Medal, the 3rd highest bravery decoration in the Australian Honours and Awards he received in 1990;

“Constable Gregory Peter Rehn, NSW Police.
On 30 March 1988, a fire broke out in a residential building in Macleay Street, Potts Point. In response to a police radio call, Constable Rehn attended and found the roof well alight with pieces of roofing falling down into the street. While assisting with crowd control, he was told that an elderly woman, who was almost blind and deaf, remained on the fourth floor. Constable Rehn made his way through the smoke filled building and on reaching the third floor found the elderly woman stumbling around in the debris. He took hold of her and began to lead her down the stairs. As he did so, debris and roofing fell from the ceiling and thick smoke and water filled the hallway. Despite breathing and vision difficulties caused by the smoke, Constable Rehn led the woman to safety. By his actions, Constable Rehn displayed considerable bravery.”

Such a sad, sad loss of a brave and inspiring Cop.
