Biography
In 1999, Aukland was a police superintendent for the New South Wales Police Force in Australia. He and a SASR Major met with the CEO of Global Security Bill Henriksen to discuss the consulting contract for the security of the 2000 Olympic Summer Games. During the meeting, Henricksen offered to supply the SASR and police with state-of-the-art equipment and training in exchange for the Olympics security contract. He also reminded them of the recent increase of terrorist activity across Europe to emphasize the need to hire Global Security. Knowing Henricksen's background, the SASR Major asked him what he knew of the recent terrorist attacks. Henricksen proceeded to tell them that it was Rainbow who foiled the attacks and that Australia could have a rapid counter-terrorist force like Rainbow if he they hired Global Security. A few days dater, Aukland called Henricksen to inform him that Global Security had won the security contract. Henricksen then agreed for Aukland to fly him out to Sydney the next day to discuss the details and to show of the new communications equipment he spoke of to the SASR.
