117 From the Outback to the Gold Coast, Australian Policing With Sergeant Oliver Laurence
G’day mates! Today we are going to the land down under to speak with Oliver Laurence, who was a police sergeant in Australia!
Oliver Laurence worked for the South Australian Police and the Queensland Police Service as a constable, senior constable, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant.
During his career in law enforcement in Australia, he worked in a variety of positions and locations from the Gold Coast to the Outback.
Upon retirement, he started his own security agency spanning from Asia to the UK. He is also the host of the popular Protect and Serve Podcast.
In today’s episode we discuss:
