Well what can I say - except Another Brilliant two days at running our Beyond the Badge 2 Day Career Transition Program for first responders.

We had 13 Current, Transitioning and Former NSW Police Force officers with us for the 2 days to gain an understanding and explore what the future might look like after their service. Many of our participants are forced to leave the job they love due to physical and or mental heath reasons and we have been supporting them for the past 8 years now and absolutely love our 2 days that we get to spend amongst them.

Huge THANK YOU to both Mingara Leisure Group and Gosford RSL Club for the support you have provided your local first responder community through your generous Club Grants

However, it is not only the Grant, but the support, care and generous time you always give us when we come to the club.

Thank you Sarah Ferman for your continued support and for lending us some of your amazing people to help welcome and inspire our group on Day 1.
Philip Walker We love you mate - for what you do now and the service you have provided over the years as a Detective keeping our community safe. Thank you for your belief in us

Thank you to our Panel members - Paul Kougias, Kelly Raterman and Hannah Simmons for your time, empathy and understanding. Your presence and words provided much comfort and inspiration to the group. Thanks also Paul for working with me to make the 2 days come to life.

Big shout out also to Tash Miller for coming in to face the group, for being honest and vulnerable and providing some real life, current inspiration. You are a legend.

We cant wait to come back next year for a repeat performance

Lastly - brilliant accommodation and restful night sleep at the beautiful Encore by Mingara. A great addition to the venue

Finally!! It has taken some time - but we are very pleased to release Episode 4 Part 1 of the Beyond The Badge Podcast Series
Welcome Jason Semple
Police Special Operations Veteran. *NSW Tactical Operations TOU SPG *AFP Specialist Response Group SRG *Marksman Reconnaissance Team MRT *Specialist Advisor Middle East. *Published Author Sniping and CT Operations. *Deployments: Iraq, Afghanistan, Timor, SI, Philippines, Somalia, EU. *Division Manager, LEGEAR/ADA. *Co-Owner Advanced Accuracy Solutions LLC.
“Trigger Warning ”Two weeks into his policing career, Jason Semple was on a night out with a couple of colleagues when two of them were stabbed by a male person who was attempting to sell them drugs. Jason was in a critical condition but survived, Peter Forsyth, who was tending to Peters wounds sadly did not.
This event shaped Jason's career and he went on to perform in many high-risk teams across multiple agencies in Australia and abroad.
This podcast focuses on Jason’s career choices, his strength, resilience and his eventual transition into the private sector. It is an inspiring story that needs 2 episodes to do it justice.

We hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration from Jason

Grateful to be invited to the The Broken Path and Wests Group Macarthur First Responder Golf Day at the awesome Lakeside Golf Course.

I had a fantastic day with some OK golf and lots of laughs with my team.
There were some serious sides to the day and it was great to listen to and to meet Geoff Togher - father of murdered Paramedic Steven Togher. We should all get together to support his Steven's Law Campaign - check it out here https://lnkd.in/gYagHMS5

Huge thank you to Wests Group Macarthur, Perkiss, Katie Petroski, Katherine Fogarty and all the hardworking team at Wests that do so much for their community

A big shout out to Stephen, Monique, Audrey and all the incredible people who run and support this new charity The Broken Path Inc who support our first responders

It has been an enormous week for Beyond the Badge this week with our 2 Day Career Transition Program for First Responders conducted in Port Macquarie. Big THANK YOU to .portmacquarie for you sponsorship and support of the program. The program was opened by Operations Manager Paul Matic and People and Culture Leader Melissa Caruso. Your understanding and insights were such an important part of our Day 1 session and you made our 12 current and former Police officers feel relaxed and welcome. Thank you to John Fearnley and Fleur Harvey for having us and looking after our crew over the two days.

It was also a privilege to welcome back a former program participant Debra Nelson who has done some amazing things since we first met her in 2021. Deb gave up her time to address the team and provide her experience from a difficult transition out of NSW Police Force to her first, second and now current role as a senior manager with Transport for NSW. THANK YOU Deb - your words were so inspiring and a big hit.

If you are a first responder, feeling lost and looking for direction for the future, we are here to help you. There is no cost for our program and ongoing support. Drop us an inquiry on our website https://lnkd.in/gjW5QqYX
