A Lesson On Resilience with a QPS SERT Operator
The Special Emergency Response Team within the Queensland Police Service provides the ability to respond to high risk situations incidents statewide. The tasks of the role range from resolving siege situations to counter terrorism operations and everything in between including resolving the recent incident in Tara which claimed the life of 6 people including 2 QPS officers and a nearby resident. With this level of responsibility only around 4-5 applicants are successful out of approximately 70 people per intake. The three-day selection course is regarded as the most difficult and physically demanding course within the Queensland Police Service. It tests physical and mental endurance through individual and team tasks, problem solving, sleep deprivation, basic survival skills and by challenging phobias. You can only imagine the level of resilience required or to be acquired to have the ability to not only make it through the selection criteria but to maintain your role as a SERT Operator. Today I have one of our very own QPS SERT operators with me to give some insight into what he does, how he uses those skills transferable to impact his life for the better but also open up about some of the challenges faced with this type of work. For obvious reasons we need to keep his identity private but I hope there’s something you’ll learn today from my conversation around resilience.
