About Dick Tracy
My name is Peter Wood, directory of Key Essentials Investigations.
People often ask me why I became a Process Server and Private Investigator and what skills do I have to do the job.
For me, the transition from my past careers and work experiences logically lead me to be a Private Investigator and Process Server in Brisbane.
My working life began in Glen Innes, where I was employed as an electrical appliance salesperson. This role taught me people skills, communication skills and sales skills. I was also an axillary firefighter in Glen Innes, and this positioned me well with decision making and equipment management.
I moved to Brisbane and joined the Queensland Ambulance Service. My ambulance career was vast. I worked on-road as a paramedic for many years, and my on-road paramedic work was instrumental in fine-tuning streetwise abilities, being super observant, adopting a high level of questing and gaining an acute level of observing people’s behaviours.
From operational on-road duties, I moved into training paramedics and then onto several operational management roles. It was in these roles that I managed large numbers of workplace behaviour issues and patient complaints.
As my career progress and I was promoted to a Director role, and my work was then about staff management, behaviour management, grievance investigations and performance management. So, as you can see, I spent an enormous amount of time reviewing, investigating and managing problems and issues.
I spent ten years managing the operation centre at which employed 170 staff and in the last three years in the ambulance I set up a separate business unit for the non-urgent ambulance patient transport service.
I have been fully engaged as an investigator and completed a large number of Corporate and Compulsory Third-Party factual investigations. So as one might see, I was well-positioned to transition my skill set into the Private Investigator and Process Serving world, and I ensure I always treat people with dignity and respect.
