After quickly realising university wasn't for him, Inspector Kevin O'Connell applied to both Victoria Police and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

Victoria Police called first.

Nearly 38 years later, he's still here.

From becoming one of Victoria's youngest prosecutors to leading the Banyule-Nillumbik Police Service Area, his career has taken turns he never expected.

His advice? "You never truly know what will resonate with you until you're doing the work."

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.
