## Caption

Remember Blue Heelers? It was that very TV show (and a few war movies) that landed Senior Constable Eamon Hale where he is today – an Operational Safety Tactics Training (OSTT) Instructor posted to the Police Academy with a longstanding Army career to back it. ⁣
⁣
Even before he finished high school, Eamon dreamed of joining the Army. By 17, he was an M113A1 driver in the Royal Australian Armoured Corps and thereafter, moved on to achieve great things (deploying to aid war-torn countries being one of them). ⁣
⁣
But after 13 years of service, he found himself in search of a different challenge with more stability. The search led him to Victoria Police where he served the Mornington Peninsula community instead. “It just made sense to switch one uniform for another and continue serving but in a different way.”⁣
⁣
To this day, with the support of his supervisors and peers, Eamon continues his commitment to country as an Army Reservist at Capability Acquisitions Sustainment Group. Like many other members who are ADF Reservists, Eamon does it all with grace and pride, donning two sets of uniforms that typify service. ⁣
⁣
“I love the people I get to work with, and the job we do. Policing can be a hugely stressful and at times a traumatic job, so for me, Army is almost like going back to my safe space. I can continue to contribute to Australia’s national defence whilst helping to police the community I live in. That’s really special.”⁣
⁣
It goes without saying, Victoria Police hosts a diverse workforce. Our members, despite fronting what is already a challenging career, somehow in their spare moments continue to achieve wondrous things. ⁣
