Welcomed To The Meeting Senior Constable Peter Horn , now established in Bell. Peter is married with two sons. Peter applied for the job in Bell as he no longer wished to do night shift. Peter gave us a brief rundown on his 20 years career. Over the last decade or more, Peter has been stationed mainly in Dalby. Peter relieved for 2 weeks in Jandowae in 2005 and an incident occurred every night. He also relieved for a month in 2009 and there were no incidents for the whole month.! Thus the vagaries of police work. Peter is very involved with the Masons, plays golf and enjoys a quiet country life.
