Keynote Address - Prepare
to Win
On the 3rd May 1994 Snr. Constable
Derrick McManus was shot 14 times with a
high-powered rifle and was lying on the
ground for 3 hours before he could be
rescued. He not only survived but also
returned first to his family and then,
despite all medical predictions, to his
work with the elite Special Tasks and
Rescue (STAR) Group.
Be inspired by Derrick’s zest for life
and competition, learn how to overcome
your biggest challenges and how to
triumph where others believe it’s
impossible – personally and
professionally.
