Sly of the Underworld has named his 2025 Police Officer of the Year, with Superintendent Wayne Cheeseman taking out the award.

Superintendent Cheeseman delivered a media conference following a clash between anti-immigration protesters and counter-protesters in October.

And during the address, he made the point of tipping a collection of rocks on the floor that he claimed were thrown at police.
