AUSTRALIAN POLICE MEDAL (APM)<br />
Superintendent Brett Page GUERIN<br />
Superintendent Guerin has been a member of Victoria Police for 35 years and over that time<br />
he has provided outstanding police service to the community. Superintendent Guerin has had<br />
a very broad and varied career, encompassing the fields of general duties, road policing,<br />
crime investigation, intelligence, training and development. More recently he has managed<br />
the serious crime operations area, which encompasses the Homicide Squad, Armed Crime<br />
Taskforce, the Arson and Explosives Squad and the Fraud and Extortion Squad. He is the<br />
Chair of the Bushfire Arson Strategic Advisory Group and the National Intergovernmental<br />
Committee on Drugs, and has overseen the introduction of rostering reform, implementation<br />
of the Bushfire Arson Prevention and Detection Strategy, the re-establishment of the Missing<br />
Persons/Cold Case Unit and the establishment of the Fugitive Taskforce. Superintendent<br />
Guerin was also instrumental in orchestrating a hike along the Kokoda Track by members<br />
from the Flemington Police Station and local African young people. This initiative continues to<br />
be a significant Victoria Police annual engagement activity with the Flemington community<br />
and won the 2008 Premier's Harmony Award. Superintendent Guerin is highly respected<br />
leader in the community, and through his efforts Victoria Police continues to evolve to meet<br />
the ever-changing environment.<br />
Assistant Commissioner Tracy LINFORD<br />
Assistant Commissioner Linford joined Victoria Police in 1984 and is a police officer of high<br />
integrity, diligence and outstanding distinguished service. Her history with Victoria Police<br />
displays an exceptional aptitude for high level police performance and her ongoing<br />
contribution to community safety and the development of members. Assistant Commissioner<br />
Linford has made a significant contribution to Victoria Police's investigative expertise as an<br />
instructor at the Detective Training School and as Officer-in-Charge of the Centre for<br />
Investigation Training. Assistant Commissioner Linford has also contributed to a number of<br />
significant projects, including the development of a Victoria Police Intelligence Model,<br />
revamping intelligence training for members and the Major Crime Management Model, which<br />
established a more fluid and dynamic approach to the investigation of serious and organised<br />
crime. She is a distinguished investigator, leader and manager. As Commander of the<br />
Southern Metropolitan Region, Dandenong, Assistant Commissioner Linford was very active<br />
in the development of proactive policing strategies in areas of youth offending, family<br />
violence, drug and alcohol offending and the mental health response. Assistant<br />
Commissioner Linford's most recent appointment as Assistant Commissioner of the<br />
Intelligence and Covert Support Command reflects her capacity and skill to assume<br />
responsibility in important and challenging roles.<br />
