ATMC18 - Snr Cst Dustin Osborne ”Stop the Killing Enable the Living”

Senior Constable Dustin Osborne joined the Queensland Police Service (QPS) in 2008 and has since been attached to the Fortitude Valley Police Station as a General Duties Officer. In 2016, Dustin was selected to form part of the Active Armed Offender (AAO) Project Team which was responsible for developing and implementing a skills and tactics training package specific to AAO incident resolution. During the creation of this training, Dustin became a great advocate for casualties of these horrific events and developed a modular dedicated to medical response which was successfully integrated into the AAO curriculum. After the successful implementation of the AAO Project, Dustin continued to strive to raise the operational capabilities and capacity of the QPS to better protect and preserving life by developing and introducing Tactical First Aid Training service-wide. As result, all sworn Officers now receive training and carry equipment necessary for stopping mass haemorrhage, alleviating thoracic trauma and to provide CPR. Dustin has a passion for tactical medicine and continues to develop this area of training for the QPS. Dustin is also a sitting member of Australian Tactical Medical Association, Police Tactical Group Clinical Governance Subcommittee.
