We ended our 2023 Alumni event program on a high as Alumni and guests gathered at WA Police’s State Operations Command Centre (SOCC), the nerve-centre for law enforcement.

Cameron Western, Superintendent, State Operations Command Division, delivered a fascinating talk on the complex work undertaken at SOCC to tackle crime, and how WA Police (WAPOL) works proactively with other organisations to better serve the community and respond to critical incidents.

WA is the largest single policing jurisdiction in the world and SOCC has embraced a ‘need to share’ philosophy which, combined with the latest technologies, is enabling WAPOL to stay ahead of crime, thus creating a safer WA.

We were also joined by Tony Sewell, GM Airport Operations, Perth Airport, who reflected on the collaboration between the aviation industry, WAPOL and other agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic, which ensured that Western Australia was one of the safest places to be.

Thank you to WAPOL for hosting this event, to Cameron and Tony for speaking and everyone who attended.
