They were each awarded medal clasps for 25 years working for QPS during an award ceremony on July 25.
As a high school student at Redcliffe, Senior Sergeant Brad Rix was considering becoming a physiotherapist, a pilot, or a photographer. QPS went on a large recruitment drive and his mother saw the advertisement and showed him.
PCYC manager Sergeant Rix was considering studying to be a teacher. “I was very concerned at the time, employment was down and I just wanted a job that was secure.” She entered the police academy with an aim of trialing it for a year. “I haven’t left yet so it must have been alright,” she said.
They met each other in 2005 during the Australian and New Zealand Services Games held in Adelaide.
Brad was a road cyclist and Heidi was a netballer, and they both represented Queensland.
