Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

Police Dog `Carts`Print Page 
The plaque commemorates Police Dog Carts who died in the line of duty in 2007.
Carts the Police Dog was named after Constable David Carty, who lost his life when attacked in a Sydney hotel car park in 1997, Carts died when stabbed by a teenager in Corrimal in 2007. Carts` handler Senior Constable Brett Williams had challenged the youth, who ran into bushland. When the youth ignored calls to stop, Carts was released. Carts caught up with the offender after a short pursuit and bit him on the leg, as taught in bite and detain training. It was then that the Balgownie teenager pulled a 6cm-bladed pocketknife from his pocket and stabbed the police dog. He was the fourth dog to die while on duty since New South Wales Police Dog Unit was formed in 1932.
