CORE STRENGTHS
Driving is a quality I have developed over 38yrs as a police officer in completing different driving courses and driving all types of vehicles from restricted speeds to high speed pursuits.
I have a strong knowledge of the Road Laws gained from the Victoria Police Traffic Operations Group Traffic Education Course and the ongoing enforcement of traffic offences.
Communications is a strength I have due to the many and varied contacts I have on a daily basis in the preparation and security involving the Chief Commissioner of Police. I also have ongoing refresher courses in driving and conflict resolution.
Adaptability, I have enjoyed doing the Cert IV course and learning new approaches to teaching/coaching and believe these approaches will make a difference and safer outcome for students going forward.
Team orientation, I enjoy working in teams to help consistently achieve a high result for the organisation.
Professional Development has been a core part of my career and I believe it is an important part of any industry or business.
Confidentiality is a quality I have that has seen me serve five Chief Commissioner's over a period of 26yrs and been privy to many highly confidential conversations and material. I also hold a National Top Secret Level Clearance.
