In 2006 Cameron joined the Australian Federal Police and served on overseas missions with the International Deployment Group that included the Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. He then transferred into an investigation’s role, beginning with general crime, then people smuggling operations and eventually counter terrorism. Cameron has written a book about his time in the Victoria Police & the AFP.
