Dayman Niyazi-O'Brien

As a CATO, I support Enforcement Technologies and Logistics (ET&L) through delivery of operator and re-certification training, operational guidance, and performance monitoring of specialist technology. Conduct audits and evidentiary data management, coordinate maintenance and consumables, present capability briefings, disseminate updates, provide statistical reporting, and maintain certification and compliance standards.

As an acting APS4 ABF employee, I provide leadership and supervision to APS2 and APS3 officers across high-volume passenger processing and enforcement operations, applying the Integrated Leadership Systems (ILS) to drive performance, accountability, and team development. I balance traveller facilitation with enforcement priorities, ensuring compliance with legislative and policy requirements while maintaining operational integrity and risk-based decision-making. I manage final clearance points, coordinate enforcement referrals, and apply investigative techniques to safeguard border security. I consistently deliver results through effective leadership, technical expertise, and attention to detail, supporting frontline performance and strategic ABF objectives.

I actively support the BFORT Buddy program by mentoring and guiding officers through their 12-month development period. I am passionate about leadership, hands-on training, and sharing operational knowledge to build capability and confidence. I provide approachable support, practical guidance, and professional example to help officers succeed in their roles.
