Dimitrios 'Jim' Bellos (Class of 1982) is a Queensland Police Officer and recipient of both the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) and the Australian Police Medal (APM) for 'Services to Multicultural communities'. Jim has also been recognised twice at the Queensland of the Year awards – In 2009 as the Queensland Australian of the Year and again in 2012 as Queensland's Local Hero.

Sergeant Jim Bellos is the Queensland Police Service's cross-cultural liaison officer for southern Brisbane, an area home to 200 communities speaking 150 languages and practising more than 130 religions. Over the years, Jim has built a relationship of trust, respect and understanding between these communities and the police. With endless energy and enthusiasm he establishes community consultative groups, organises multi-faith dinners, supports people through personal and family tragedy and best known of all, runs the For the Love of the Game program. Through the shared enjoyment of sport, particularly soccer, the program brings together more than 8,000 young people from diverse backgrounds, is a real catalyst in breaking down barriers and has resulted in a substantial decline in youth crime. When the 2011 floods devastated a local sporting store Jim returned from holidays and gathered 400 volunteers together to clean up. On call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Jim's voluntary work extends far beyond his core work responsibilities.

Jim didn't head straight to the Police Service from school. He originally took up part time jobs in mechanics and later joined the police force feeling it would give him security for his new family. Jim is proud that his youngest of three daughters, Jana, has also become a police officer.

When he reminisces about State High, Jim recalls his fondness for Mr Bill Sole who "was loved by everyone" and was saddened by his passing in 2018. His advice to current students is to consider the police service as a career, although it can sometimes be difficult, it can also be extremely rewarding and he can't imagine not being a part of it.
