Brett Wright was a serving police officer in the NSW police force for 15 years. He spent the majority of that time as a frontline officer where he saw and dealt with the worst that humanity has to offer. During his career, Brett was awarded the Commissioner's Commendation for Courage. Brett also received the Jim Affleck award for bravery and outstanding policing. He was also twice nominated for Police Officer of the Year by the Campbelltown Chamber of Commerce. Brett left the police force in October 2016 and began writing shortly after. When not writing, Brett spends his time hiking (including the brutal and iconic Kokoda Track), taking part in running events, travelling and enjoying time with his family.
