 It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on Sunday 12th October 2025, in Australia, of ex PC 1487 Richard Terrance TOWNLEY-JONES, 75 years. His next of kin and executor of his will is his son Mark Townley-Jones.
TJ, as he was known to some, died from cancer in a Hospice in Doonan, Queensland, Australia. He served with Derbyshire Police mainly in the Derby area, for 15 years until retiring. Prior to that he served in the Australian and Royal Navy for 10 years. Richard’s cremation, with no service, took place on Wednesday 15th October 2025.

Had the great pleasure in meeting up with TJ at a Chad Lads get together about 6 months ago.He was in great spirits. He was one of the good guys . He didn’t suffer fools gladly and his direct approach to Policing was a tribute to his Military background. Very few people in the Police Service achieve “legend “ status but he did!!!!!
