Mr Patrick Boyle
Detective InspectorOfficer in Charge Asian Squad,
Prison Squad, Casino Squad
Victoria Police
I am a career Police Officer, having extensive experience in the area of criminal investigation. I have been in charge of the Asian Squad for 2.5 years, and that is where my Asian interests started, due to my interaction with various multi-cultural groups. I have become quite involved in my role and as such some 18 months ago packaged & commenced an awareness program whereby police officers (2 every 2 months) perform duties at the squad, its primary purpose being to identify and use the required interaction skills when dealing with Asian victims. Patience is the key. I was approached to attend the Asialink program two years ago and now wish I had done so, as I can acknowledge the benefits and how it will help me further my goals of mutual understanding.
I have worked and studied overseas with law enforcement agencies in New York & London and performed security duties at the Atlanta Olympics. I have been a volunteer fundraiser with the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation for 14 years, which is now a National Remembrance Day.
I am actively involved with numerous Asian Community and Business Groups advising them on all issues of concern to them, with the emphasis of building trust and co-operation.
