From Surviving a Stabbing to Becoming a Leader in Policing – Part One

Two weeks into his policing career, Jason Semple was left bleeding in a Sydney gutter after being stabbed during a violent street confrontation that also claimed the life of his fellow police officer, Peter Forsyth.

The attack in Ultimo in 1998 shocked the nation and changed the course of Semple’s life. This is the first of two episodes, where Jason recounts the night that nearly killed him and the moment that defined his future in law enforcement.
