SERGEANT Mario Miocic has given 28 years of his life to Victoria Police, and 25 of those were spent here in Ararat.
Mario’s decision to move to Ararat was Melbourne’s loss and our gain.
“We’ve never looked back,” he said. “Country policing not for everybody. But it’s a great place. I’ve had an absolute ball.”
Born in Melbourne in 1968, Mario entered the police force because he felt policing offered job security, and “looked like fun.”
Mario met future wife Michelle, who had moved to the city from Ararat. The couple married and welcomed their children Olivia and Jake. They were living in East Bentleigh when they decided it was time for a change.
