In a press release, Commissioner Webb congratulated the four officers on their appointments and said “strong, authentic leadership is key to our future and my vision over the next five years.”

Pisanos is definitely the right person for the deputy role. In 2018, he received the Australian Police Medal as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his key leadership in community-based policing.

He has launched a number of youth programs credited with reducing youth crime and placing disadvantaged young people with private businesses, providing work experience for possible future full-time employment.

He has also dedicated his career to reducing violence, fear and crime ever since he entered the force as a constable in 1988.
