 It's a special time for police as a whole. I've been a member of the Queensland Police Service for over 25 years. I think it's a really significant event. I'm very proud to be a part of it. 150 years is a long time to be serving the community. I'm a fourth generation police officer. Whether I'm behind a desk or on a horse, it's a great job. I love being a dad, hanging out with my two girls in the weekends and my folks can do. I'm the same as every other bloke out there. I have too many hobbies. I love fishing. You can really see the community uplift when we have achievements here. When I was at school we had an adoptive cop and I found them to be someone we could always approach. And that's the reason I became an adoptive cop. My way to de-stress is to draw. The exhibition that I just did on police, it was in relation to just showing the community that police are ordinary people doing an extraordinary job. I'm very thankful to the community for entrusting us to provide security and safety to them. The growth of my job is diversity. Working with so many great people and many different cultural groups, it's a safe environment for the community to be living. There's some very rewarding parts of the job that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I'm most thankful for the job and the opportunities it gives me. Working with friends and the community works closely with the police.
