STEPHEN ANGUS

CALM under pressure, patient with the community and passionate about where he serves, Queensland Police Service Inspector Stephen Angus has helped Toowoomba grow into a safe city that is prepared, and able, to work together.

As City Patrol Group Inspector, he is one of the top officers in the Southern police region which covers a land area of almost 33,500sq km, a police force of about 1280 police officers and about 270 unsworn staff supporting almost 785,000 members of the public.

In 2014, he was awarded the National Police Service Medal which recognises the special status officers have because of their role protecting the community.

The Queensland Police Service states it represents a police officer’s past and future commitment to give ethical and diligent service, and can be awarded only to those with 15 years on the force.

And Inspector Angus is not one to have rested on that laurel. In the proceeding years he has championed his community with honesty and integrity.

When fractions emerged in Toowoomba following the alleged murder of a young mother, it was Inspector Angus, and the respected officers under his command, who laid the groundwork for families across the region to begin healing.

He has been on the front foot of the city’s proactive policing strategy, engaging with the community and bolstering ties with various groups in pursuit of the greater good.

In a nod to his seniority and experience, Inspector Angus has acted up in the policing ranks including as Acting Darling Downs District Superintendent.
