In this episode, we speak with former Commissioner of Queensland Police, Ian Stewart, who has had a remarkable career in policing spanning 45 years. 

Ian has seen the best and the worst of human nature. 

In his role as commissioner, empathy has played a leading role.  For instance,  in speaking to new recruits, he'd mention to them that the difference between them and many of the people that they'd need to deal with in their careers lies in one factor -  the presence or absence of a supporting and loving family upbringing.  So, be kind.

We speak with Ian about his varied experiences across his career, and what lessons they have taught him.

This is a refreshing conversation about the positive role that the police do, can, and should have in our community and our lives.
