It's been revealed a former Newcastle University student is among the four police officers tragically killed when they were hit by a speeding truck in Melbourne on Wednesday.
Born in Gosford, Constable Glen Humphris began his working life as an apprentice carpenter before becoming a personal trainer. He studied exercise and sports science at the university and was working in Newcastle before moving to Melbourne with his partner, Todd to join the police force in 2019.
Victoria Police say Glen performed extremely well at the academy and narrowly missed out on his squad's highest academic achievement award, while his squad mates say he had a great sense of community and genuine empathy for everyone - victim and offender alike.
