His funeral will be held on Friday 24 January at the Holy Family Church in Maroubra followed by a private cremation. The wake will then be at the Maroubra Seals Club. I am not sure of times etc. at this early stage. Do NOT listen to rumour about the circumstances surrounding this terrible tragedy. Jason was a great man and a great cop and this is time to celebrate his life and pass on condolences to his family.

NSW Police Legacy 26 October 2018  · Today in Port Macquarie we had the privilege of attending the annual Jason Baker Memorial Cup, held each year in memory of Sergeant Jason Baker. It was a huge day of touch footy, with teams from around the district competing in a round-robin tournament. After a fiercely fought contest, the Meerkats emerged victorious, with the Hogs coming in a very credible second place. Thanks to all competitors and organisers, and a huge thank you for the money raised for Police Legacy in support of our Police Family. https://www.facebook.com/policelegacy/posts/1433927523376708

~Paka AKA Jason Baker~ It was 1993 when I first started working at the old Randwick Patrol, Ironically located on the corner of Coogee Bay Road and Judge Street. The old sandstone building was very small but filled with soul, With the words ‘Lock Up’ carved in the sandstone on the front. Working at this place was anything but silent. History and character were part of what made the station tick The other was the hard working staff that rarely reported off sick One staff member in particular, I remember so well, Larger than life he was every single day some would call him a rebel. But I’d rather take the official caution, and not say, Swearing an oath of what happens at Randwick stays in Randwick. Was the safest cause of action, if I may? By now you’re wondering who this person may be, No I take that back, you all know who it is, I’m sure you’ll agree. His legal name is Jason Baker to friends it’s Packa or Packaroon, A one of a kind gentleman, taken from us way too soon. No matter what you’d turn up to work with your trademark huge smile, Making work so much easier even when things were vile. You leave behind so many memorable moments and stories to tell, They’d make everyone laugh then cry and a book would be a great sell. Packa you touched the hearts of people far and wide, It’s hard to believe you’re no longer with us and be by our side. I know now you’re watching over us all, especially your family of four. If they ever need anything I have an open door. By Glen B Robinson 19 January 2014 Support Aussie Cops 20 January 2014
