Constable Scott Dyson was among the two police officers critically injured when gunmen attacked a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sunday, December 14.

Since the incident, Scott had been kept in a medically induced coma, undergoing nearly daily surgical procedures.

In a statement released today, his family shared that Dyson is showing signs of improvement, stating he has been “getting stronger each day.”

“Today marked the first time he was brought out of the coma,” the family announced.

“While there is still a long journey ahead in his recovery, this development is encouraging.”

“We would like to thank the public for the support, messages and well wishes shown to Scott and our family during this difficult time.

“We are also grateful for the tireless work of his medical team.

“Our focus remains on Scott’s continued recovery and we kindly ask for our family’s privacy to be respected.”

Dyson’s colleague, Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert, lost sight in one eye after he was shot last week.

The 22-year-old will recover from home after being discharged from hospital today and will need “space, support and continued positive thoughts”, his family said in a statement.

“As a family, we couldn’t ask for anything more, having our Jack home, especially for Christmas, truly feels like a miracle,” the family said.

“We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, kind messages, and well wishes from the community, Jack’s colleagues, friends and the emergency services.

“The care and dedication shown by the medical staff has been nothing short of exceptional.

“We kindly ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we focus on Jack’s recovery and spend this special time together.

“Thank you again for the compassion, love, and support shown to our family.

“Jacko you’ve shown strength of a different degree, we are so glad you’re home buddy.”

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said last week the NSW Police Force would rally around Hibbert and “find appropriate duties for him” after his recovery.
