Allan Sicard admits he's made mistakes in his career. A rare admission from a former NSW Police Superintendent. In a police culture that's often autocratic and unforgiving, Allan is upfront about his short-comings and says what he's learnt has made him a better leader. He's recently published a book; "The Courage to Lead" and believes leadership involves learning from your mistakes.

He spent 40 years in the job and was involved in the Mosman Collar Bomb in 2011 and was the forward Commander for the first two hours of the Lindt Cafe Siege in 2014.
