22-year dedication to region

A TOOWOOMBA police sergeant had dipped her toes in a variety of careers before recognising her calling 22 years ago.

Sergeant Tracy Round (pictured below) became an operational police officer after completing a university degree and working in retail, administration and accounting positions.

“Nothing really seemed to fit … policing was my true nature,” she said.

After serving in numerous policing roles, Sgt Round stepped into a communications dispatch role in 2016, before recently securing a promotion to communications coordinatior.

“Everyday is a memorable day when you’re in the communications sector,” she said.

“There’s never a dull moment.

“We provide such a pivotal role, both to our police on the road, and also our interaction with the community.

“It’s mentally challenging, but its very rewarding at the end.”
