On 1 May 2000, Constable Daryl Elliott Green was on a routine call out with Sergeant Christopher Mulhall and Constable Sharnelle Cole when they were ambushed and shot multiple times. Over the next decade Daryl endured a series of facial reconstruction surgeries, experienced depression for the first time in his life, and PTSD. He nonetheless demonstrated an incredible strength of character, determination, motivation and resilience. Following an initial 20-month recovery period, Daryl returned to work with the Queensland Police and simultaneously completed a Master of Applied Finance qualification.
Assisted by the strong support of good friends and family, Daryl achieved significant professional and personal goals. He now speaks professionally on his remarkable journey – from joining the Queensland Police Service at age 18, the harrowing experience of being shot at age 27, his ‘dark years’ of operations, depression, anger, anxiety, frustration and recovery – to his new direction and desire to share his story and lessons learned.
As he delves into the events of the night, the lead up to the shooting and road to recovery, Daryl gives a highly visual behind-the-crime multimedia walk through complete with audio from the shooting, CSI-style ballistics mapping, crime scene reconstructions, and step-by-step facial surgery imagery. He brings the lessons from his experience to life with energy, humour, optimism and audience participation.
Please note: The 2 hour presentation will begin at 11.00am on Sunday, May 29. The lecture topic is only suitable for those high school aged and above.
