A message from the Acting Commissioner and CEO, Mr Murray Smalpage. 

It is with great sadness we advise the death of former Northern Territory Police Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer, Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services, Mr Paul White.

Mr White died following a motor vehicle collision in Glen Osmond, South Australia earlier today.

Mr White retired from the Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services in October 2009, following almost eight years of service in the role.

Previously, Mr White joined South Australia Police as a cadet in 1968, and attained the rank of Assistant Commissioner before commencing his appointment with the Northern Territory.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Mr White’s family and friends during this difficult time.
