Mark Tregellas

Mark ‘Trigger’ Tregellas is a former Victorian police officer. From teenage athlete, world adventurer, and martial artist, Mark’s thirst for adventure led him to serve in the special forces reserves and to policing. Stationed in remote towns over 26 years, Trigger spent most of his policing career working closely with three other officers. Amongst his many honours is the Clarke Silver Medal, the Royal Humane Society of Australasia's highest award. After retirement, Trigger and his family endured the devastating Black Summer fires, followed by COVID-19 lockdowns that almost broke their hometown apart. Using his expertise, Trigger set up a recovery website that funnelled nearly one million dollars for the victims of the fires and earned him a Resilient Australia Award. He continues to live in remote coastal Victoria today.
