At last Sunday's Changeover Luncheon, Andy Bell was given the President's collar by Simon Brook. Here is a brief Bio provided by him:Born in Scotland, moved to New Zealand as a child. Served an electrical apprenticeship with the NZ Ministry of Defence before joining the Police. During the time in the Police, I worked for 3 years undercover, predominantly in Narcotics, then went on to Major Crime Squad, Armed Robbery and Homicide. Was seconded to Victoria Police for 6 months, to assist in the investigation of the murder of 2 NZ citizens. After completion of the investigation, returned to NZ to continue working in Drug Squad. In 1980, I relocated permanently to Melbourne, Australia, where I worked in Senior Management positions for a large international security company. I then moved to Sydney, working in various senior roles within the security industry including chairing a number of Government and semi Government bodies associated with education and training. During this time, I wrote and had published an autobiography relating to my undercover Police work. 8 years ago, I moved to the Gold Coast and continued my work within the security industry. I am now retired and working on my second book.
