Not done yet
Jason Doig joined the South Australia Police as a cadet in 1989
Commencing his service as team orientated officer so inclined
Between 1995 to 1998 he served as a Naval Reserve diver too
Giving his time and skill for Australia freely as his duty to do
But he was not done yet
He served the Luncindale Community for twelve years
An ideal country police officer and quintessential bloke without peer
As the bedrock of his Community he was always there
His creed was kind, caring, generous and unique to care
But he was not done yet
Jason was adventurous by habit in all he’d do
He lived his life by his creed all the way through
Taken by an assailant and his duty met
It was clear in this time that he was not done yet….

Lost Forever
Do you hear them
Walking down the corridor
There's laughter there
And you know who it is
Do you see them
On the muster parade
Waiting for the sergeant
To begin the shift again
Do you count on them
When the chips are down
And the 801 is called
You know they'll be there
Do you miss them
Now the odds are called in
And part of the blue
Is lost to us forever.
