NEWCASTLE MAN AMONG FALLEN OFFICERS IN VICTORIA
Victoria police have confirmed one of the four officers killed in yesterday’s horrific Eastern Freeway crash was from the Hunter.
Constable Glen Humphris recently moved to Melbourne from Newcastle with his partner Todd and begun his policing career.
Born and raised in Gosford, Glen left school and became an apprentice carpenter.
He later completed a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Newcastle and obtained a Masters in Exercise Physiology at the University of Sydney, becoming a sports scientist and exercise physiologist.
It was when working for Return to Work in Newcastle that Glen met his partner of four years, Todd.
The pair moved to Melbourne, which is when Glen applied to join Victoria Police.
Glen performed extremely well during his time at the Police Academy.
His results in both examinations and assessments were well above average and he narrowly missed out on the Highest Academic Achiever Award for his squad.
He enjoyed the food and bar lifestyle of Melbourne and he continued to have a passion for exercise, competing in triathlons and maintaining a high level of fitness.
His squad mates said he genuinely wanted to help people, had a great sense of community and genuine empathy for everyone – victim and offender alike.
Glen is remembered as being very level-headed, caring and supportive with a great sense of humour and had the ability to make light of any situation to calm people.
