About Bronwyn...

Bronwyn Killmier worked in a variety of operational management and policy areas in South Australia police (SAPOL), including uniform and criminal investigation at both metropolitan and rural locations within the state.  She has also worked at a management level interstate and overseas.

During her 40 year career in SAPOL, she was awarded a 12 month Australian Fellowship relating to offender profiling at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia.  On her return, she worked across Australasian policing in this field for three years, based in Canberra.  She was responsible for developing, implementing and managing five national projects relating to policing violence, as well as working with police and community to establish national initiatives relating to missing persons that are still in place today.  She also worked on major violent cases across Australasia as a profiler and trained others in conjunction with the FBI to continue this role.  Bronwyn was awarded the Australian Police Medal for her work in this area. 

Between 1998 and 2007, she held various operational and criminal investigation country and metropolitan management positions, and undertook major reviews into aspects of policing for SAPOL.  During this time, she also volunteered as an ADC to the Governor.  In 2003, she undertook a three-month secondment to Kent Police, United Kingdom. 

In May 2007, she was promoted to Assistant Commissioner.  In that role, over 11 years, she had responsibility for a number of specialist areas, including counter terrorism, detention centres, emergency management, road safety, drug and alcohol policy, STAR Group, high risk driving, custody management, and Criminal Justice. She later had operational responsibility for policing in the metropolitan area, including transit, and the CBD.  Her last posting was in charge of the regional and remote areas, and road safety.  During this period she represented SAPOL on numerous State and National committees.
