Overview

Your experience running an operational unit or custody suite means you already manage facilities, coordinate resources, and support senior staff under pressure. The role's emphasis on organisation, discretion, and multi-site coordination directly mirrors the way you handled shift logistics, equipment, and personnel in policing. Your ability to juggle competing priorities while maintaining strict confidentiality is exactly what this operations role demands.
