## Resource

When Victoria’s top cop, Chief Commissioner Mike Bush, spotted a knife-wielding suspect in the CBD, he didn’t hesitate—he jumped into action, helping officers subdue the man with a chisel in hand. No one was hurt, but the moment underscored a growing trend: leaders from police, ambulance, and beyond are stepping into the fray to protect the public. From Detective Inspector Dean Thomas arresting a teen attacker to Ambulance Victoria’s CEO delivering a baby in Wangaratta, these aren’t just heroic moments—they’re proof that leadership means showing up, even when it’s not in the job description. As Bush marks his first year in charge, tackling staff shortages and pay disputes while recovering from a tragic shooting, his hands-on response reminds us that true leadership isn’t just about policy—it’s about presence.
