Craig Heslop is Chief Executive Officer & Board Member of Buddy Up Australia, an organisation who's mission is to ensure those who served their country or community are given the respect & support by the people who relied upon them. He was a member of New Zealand Police for many years where he thought outside the square when dealing with youth & organised crime figures & those who fall prey to the often smart & charasmatic 'recruiters'. Craig became frustrated with a legal system which he likened to a fishing trip - catching & releasing offenders, catching them again & releasing them again. His ideas proved successful but ultimately it was decided the money was more relevant elsewhere.
