The arms consist of a white stag which represents the armiger’s English, Scottish and Northern Ireland ancestry. The light blue background and white stag with petals represent peace which was the core of the armiger’s career as a police officer and his deployment as a UN peacekeeper.

The two wolves represent the armiger’s two daughters who are of part Italian descent, the wolves depicting Italian wolves, the national animal of Italy. Pean represents the armigers commitment to community law enforcement of justice and dignity which contributed to his award of an Order of Australia Medal.

The two mural crowns again represent his children and their sense of justice that has been passed down from their father’s duties and experience. The Australian connection makes up the crest with a tawny frogmouth (a bird similar to an owl that is native only to Australia) with a sprig of wattle in its mouth. The wattle is the national floral emblem of Australia.
