While it's still early days, friends said that he's a 'tough kid' and hope that he will eventually return to the force.
'His police mates have been very, very good – the boys brought around hamburgers, chips and Coke and have stayed with him, talking and making sure he knows he is supported,' a close family friend told
'They don't want to lose him. He is very good at his job.
'He has always wanted to help people. He is young, and I know he has helped crack some cases already.'
The friend added that Mr Wildey visited Ms Singleton’s mum Julie on Wednesday to pay his respects.
In the days leading up to her death, Dawn had bought her wedding dress and started sending out 'save the date' invitations to her loved ones and friends ahead of the special day.
The venue had just been booked in Sydney's north-west and she had hired wedding planners used by Kyle Sandilands for his nuptials.
It's understood that Mr Wildey was on duty but knew his fiancée shopping was at Westfield at the time.
He frantically tried to call her en route before his colleagues confirmed his worst fears when he arrived.
