Meet the Organiser Glenn Price

Organiser North West Metropolitan and Northern Region

■ I joined the London Metropolitan Police in 1990 and served as an operational General Duties officer for 6 years, gaining a passion for public order policing after being exposed to a number of major public disorder incidents and terrorist attacks in London.

In 1996, I applied for the NSWPF and migrated to Australia. I have since performed operational duties my entire career working at the-then Flemington, Wentworthville, Merrylands and Windsor Police Stations. In 2004, I was promoted to Sergeant and performed General Duties at Mt Druitt Police Station.

In 2008, I joined the Public Order and Riot Squad, travelling around the state to assist my colleagues in blue. I gained an appreciation of the difficulties and challenges police experience in all areas of the state. Some of the most enjoyable years of my policing career were spent in this role and it has prepared me for this challenging next step.

I have been a member of the PANSW for my entire career and utilised its services to assist colleagues with Industrial, complaint support and welfare issues. I completed the Branch Welfare Officer course and was elected as a delegate for Non-LAC 2 last year. I admire any person who has the courage to become a police officer and take on the many challenges, demands and personal trauma the job exposes us to. There has been nothing more rewarding for me during my career than working alongside my brothers and sisters in blue each shift and the friendships made for life.

I have always been the person my colleagues would approach for support, advice and help when needed and this has become my drive for many years to promote a happy and safe environment where colleagues feel valued and supported. Becoming a Field Organiser will allow me to assist my colleagues on a much larger scale.

I am looking forward to working with the passionate team at the PANSW. I’m excited about forging new relationships across my area and earning the trust and confidence that comes with providing support to our members.
