Doing Good By Doing Good

---

So how does a former police officer come to write a book on corporate social responsibility? I often ask myself the same question, as the path from where I began to where I am now has hardly been a predictable one. After leaving school I soon found myself in uniform. I worked at Merrylands and Cabramatta police stations in the late eighties and early nineties. It was frustration over attending back‐to‐ back domestic disputes rather than a passion for science that led me to join the Physical Evidence Section (later to become the Forensic Services Group) of the NSW Police. I found my place there and would spend the next 15 years ‘on the tools’, attending major crime scenes and incidents. For 10 years I lived in rural New South Wales, where my three children, Lachlan, Kelsey and Jack were born. After years of driving up and down the New England and Newell highways investigating scenes of death and destruction, I was promoted to inspector and returned with my family to Sydney. When terrorism arrived on our doorstep with the Bali bombings in 2002, I was deployed as part of the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team. The work of the Australians in Bali cemented our important regional role in disaster response in Asia–Pacific.
