About George A.

Team Leader at Victoria Police | Training, Policy and Governance With over ten years of experience in leadership, training, and management, I am a driven and versatile professional who excels in dynamic and challenging environments. I currently lead a team of four at Victoria Police, where I am responsible for ensuring the compliance of the entire organisation under specific legislation. In this role, I have conducted risk-assessment of legacy processes, identified information security gaps, and designed processes and systems to mitigate and eliminate risks to the organisation, operations, and members. I have also worked with stakeholders and operational units to redefine policy and provide operatives with the best tools to conduct activities. Additionally, I have initiated engagement with external stakeholders to receive support for organisational objectives. Prior to joining Victoria Police, I served in the Australian Army for over 12 years, where I held various leadership positions, including Course Manager and Instructor, Communications Specialist, and commanded small and medium teams. I delivered specialised training to personnel, mentored teams, and ensured operational readiness in high-pressure situations. I received multiple honors for my outstanding performance, including the Australian Army Silver Commendation and the Australia Day Medallion. I have a strong background in research, curriculum development, technical advisory, and personnel management. I am adept at learning new technologies, streamlining processes, and providing valuable insights to improve training and operational efficiency. I am also known for my strong interpersonal skills, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams. I take pride in contributing to the development of organisation-wide policies and strategies, and I have a track record of stepping into leadership roles when needed to ensure the timely delivery of essential services.
