On todays podcast, I speak with Ben Hosking. Ben worked for 11 years with the
Northern Territory Police Force. Ben started his career as a general duties officer
before specialising as a Tactical Police Officer in the TRG. In 2015, Ben completed
the highest level national qualification in the Australian Police curriculum for Dignitary
Protection, to enable him to plan operations supporting internationally recognised
dignitaries, as well as train specialist law enforcement officers in dignitary protection.
Throughout his career, he has earned several accolades, including the prestigious
Commissioners Commendation for demonstrating exceptional conduct.
This recognition was bestowed upon him for his decisive actions in employing lethal
force to apprehend an offender who had attempted to murder a fellow police officer
in the line of duty.
In 2017, he moved from Policing into the private sector to work with a range of
Executive Protection clients who are categorised as Ultra High Net Worth individuals
before moving into the private sector, Ben has since worked across the industry
providing Executive Protection in locations throughout the Asia Pacific region,
including: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia and
managed operations in the Philippines, Singapore, and Brunei.
Ben works in the executive protection field and currently works for Panoptic
Solutions.
During his free time, Ben dedicates himself to mastering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As a blue
belt practitioner, he achieved the Gold Medal in the ultra-heavyweight division at the
Australian Open Brazilian Jiu Jitsu National Open competition. He currently holds a
Blue Belt. Beyond his athletic pursuits, Ben delves into the teachings of Stoicism and
finds inspiration in William Ernest Henleys poem "Invictus". He is a dedicated
husband and father.
