Yeah.
So there was a lot of work undertaken to try and create a command structure that
that supported the rank and file, that gave them good leadership and good management.
And look, by the time I had sort of finished, not so much finished the work,
But I was there for a good couple of years, so I was able to put a lot in place, which was good to see.
There was a lot of positives.
There was still some negativity.
You'd find police didn't want to work at Newcastle or they didn't want to work at Waratah.
It's funny.
Geographically, what is it, about 10 minutes drive?
But, yes, police, again, they love their teams.
You know, if you get, you know, if you are working on a good team, the last thing they want to do is give up that team.
And I don't blame them.
You know, I get that.
But at the same time, we needed to sort of change the environment a little bit, you know, freshen people up by giving them an experience, whether it was Newcastle or Waratah.
So that was work in progress.
But what happened from there, I was, and this is probably one of the finest hours which I was really proud of, was the work I was seconded to with a number of staff to go over to New Zealand and respond to the Christchurch earthquake incident.
So I'd been heavily sort of involved in emergency management, whether it was on the central coast, fires, flooding, different things.
Back in my early days, I was running around as a detective when we had the Newcastle earthquake.
So I'd sort of lived through a little bit of that.
