RE : Expression of Interest from Mario GINESTRA of advertised position;


I am a former NSW Sergeant of Police with 34 years policing experience. I have taken voluntary redundancy which was effective as of 3 June 2022. I believe I have the pre requisite qualifications, skills & ability to fulfill the advertised role. I have received Awards for my “High performance and commitment to duty, professionalism and enthusiasm to work”

My interactions include a wide cross section of the public which I am able to relate & communicate effectively.

I have investigated sensitive & confidential matters and have been totally discrete and protective of that information.

At the Kings Cross Command my role included that of the Crime Coordinator . A well as proactively formulating strategies to preempt & responded to crime, this role has a customer & community based relations focus. I have coordinated & overseen numerous community events , activities and sponsorship with external partners & corporate companies as well as various vulnerable & target sections of the community where I have effectively managed the tasking and scheduling of resources.

As such I formed a good professional relationship with the local community & with external agencies

I strongly support the principal of Equal Opportunity & support the fundamental rights of every human being to work regardless of martial status , sexual preference , race, physical or mental impairment.

I recognize the way forward in Customer Service is open communication that build better relationships between customer and the company. These principles have prompted open communication through liaison and consultation.

I am always sensitive to the special needs of our customers,

I go beyond what is required on a day-to-day basis with autonomy, professionalism and enthusiasm.
I am desirous in pursuing this role and this opportunity. I would welcome he opportunity to discuss the matter further.
