While Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Miller introduced initiatives such as the air wing, task force policing and the Special Operations Group. Miller also integrated women into the police force by placing them on the general seniority list, thus giving them enhanced career opportunities.[1]

Earlier in his career, Miller was appointed to lead the Gaming Branch in an operation against illegal SP bookmaking operations that had encouraged corruption both in the police force and the Postmaster-General's Department.[1] Miller was the first Australian police officer to graduate from the FBI Academy and was awarded a Churchill Fellowship.[1]
