John O’Neil
Pro-Com founder John O’Neil presents from a military and policing background. Of his 26 years with State and Federal police John spent most of his time in the field of Police Hostage Negotiation, close personal protection, and critical incident management, helping to set up the Critical Incident Response Team for Victoria Police.
This work led John to train with specialist law enforcement all around the world including the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces, FBI negotiators, Homeland Security, Scotland Yard and Mi5. Moving on from a counter terrorism and behavioural detection role with the Australian Federal Police, John now brings this knowledge and experience to training government and corporate clients via Pro-Com Consulting.
Specialising in the management of Occupational Violence and Aggression, and critical incident and emergency management, John develops tailored training programs to assist staff respond to and manage critical incidents. His training has resulted in significant reductions in injury across many sectors including halving the assault rate on paramedics for Ambulance Victoria, a tremendously rewarding result and which won the Prime Ministers award for people and culture.
