Death: William John Maxwell ‘Bill’ or ‘Jock’ Crossan 4988
Dick Glanville regrets to advise the recent death of Jock
Crossan on 28 October 2011 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Jock attested into the BSA Police in October 1952. He joined
the Criminal Investigation Department, where he was to spend
most of his career, early in his service. Jock was promoted
to Detective Inspector in 1962 and during the turbulent decade
that followed he played a legendary role in the detection
of sabotage and violent crime in then Salisbury. He was the
recipient of the Police Medal for Meritorious Service in 1974
(post service). Jock retired from the force in December 1972
with the rank of Detective Chief Inspector. He was a member
of the Transvaal Branch. Our thoughts and condolences go out
to his wife, Grace, family and friends, to whom we extend
our deepest sympathy.
