Welcome to Part V of my 8 episode series about my time with WA Police.

Today, I’m diving into a pivotal chapter of my life, my time at a police station where I had the unique opportunity to learn more about drugs, the not so good side of life and the complexities of policing. It was a time of immense growth and challenge where I was fortunate to work with a super supportive team and learn from an incredible sergeant who taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and resilience.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Alongside the camaraderie and learning experiences, there were darker moments including instances of bullying and gaslighting, as well as incidents where welfare and mental health support were glaringly absent. These realities added layers of difficulty to an already demanding environment.

Before we begin, I want to issue a gentle caution. Some of the incidents I’ll share may be confronting or hard to listen to. I’ve taken care to redact all identifying details and will provide only a brief overview to respect privacy and maintain focus on the broader lessons from my experience.

Thank you for joining me on this journey as I unpack the highs, the lows and the lessons learned during my time on the front line at Bayswater Police Station.
