Event details
Cameron Hardiman, author of Ten feet tall and not quite bulletproof: drug busts and helicopter rescues : one cop’s extraordinary true story.
Listen to Cameron’s amazing story about working in the police for over 32 years and his experience with PTSD. Cameron lived a life most young boys could only dream of. Every morning, he put on a navy-blue police flight suit, grabbed his flight helmet and prepared for work on the police helicopter. He could be called to anything during a shift:
- to search for a missing child
- to pull an injured driver from a wrecked car
- to go to a dangerous sea rescue.
He had his share of trauma and dealt with it like most coppers would, he quickly forgot each dangerous job as soon as it was over. But one particular rescue job in Bass Strait brought about a reckoning — and Cameron was never the same again.
This is the story of one cop who learns every lesson the hard way. He finds out that not being bulletproof doesn’t mean you’re not a good cop.
Copies of Cameron’s book will be available for purchase at the event or at reception.
