SHAWN SPARK
Hillier,SA
Summary
I’m a community-focused person who’s always been drawn to helping others and contributing to something bigger than myself. My experience with the Country Fire Service has taught me the importance of teamwork, quick thinking, and staying calm under pressure — qualities I believe are essential in policing. I maintain a strong level of fitness through regular gym and boxing training, which keeps me disciplined and prepared for physically demanding situations. I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and approachable, and I’m motivated by the chance to make a positive difference in the community through a career with SAPOL.
