Superintendent Michael Brady Awarded

AUSTRALIAN POLICE MEDAL

On January 26, Minister for Police, Mark Ryan and Commissioner Ian Stewart welcomed the announcement of five Queensland
Police Service officers who are to receive the Australian Police Medal (APM); a national honour in recognition of their
distinguished service. The recipients will be presented with their medals at an upcoming ceremony.

Superintendent Michael Brady, District Officer of Moreton District has been named to receive the coveted award. He began his
career in the Police Force in 1982 and has served with distinction in a range of police appointments during his career.
He is an experienced investigator spending a number of years investigating major crime. Due to this experience, he was involved in
the national benchmarking of investigative techniques.
More recently, Superintendent Brady has been actively involved in the development of a number of community based programs
addressing domestic violence and public disorder. He is acknowledged for his service to the community of Queensland through
his dedication and commitment to Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch as well as other community based initiatives such
as project Prado (addressing domestic violence) and the ‘It’s your choice’ program (developed to address youth violence and
public disorder). He was formally recognised for his leadership as the District Disaster Coordinator during the 2010-2011 flood and
cyclone event. Commissioner Stewart acknowledged the dedication of each of the APM recipients. “The Australian Police Medal is
a fitting acknowledgment of each recipient’s outstanding contribution and commitment to serving the Queensland community,”
Commissioner Stewart said.

“I would like to congratulate and give my own personal thanks to each of the officers and also recognise them on
behalf of the Service.”
