"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"

Kate O'Neill began her career in Victoria Police at Broadmeadows before moving into intelligence and investigative policing in the Crime Department. She worked on the Black Saturday bushfires in the Phoenix Taskforce and Clan Labs. She became a detective before going to the Police Academy, working in several other roles before a promotion to the Professional Standards Command. Kate is currently an Inspector and the Local Area Commander for the City of Whittlesea. She's also a proud parent to three adult stepchildren, two of whom are following her and her husband's footsteps by joining Victoria Police. They have been foster parents to 16 children along the way! Not content with her many achievements to date, Kate is also the Chair of Victoria Police Legacy.
