Sergeant Duffy served as a senior mentor within a Police Operational Mentor and Liaison Team from April to November 2010. His mentorship significantly enhanced the capacity of Panjwayi District Police, particularly that of its chief. Working with three subsequent chiefs, he adapted to their varying abilities and provided tailored mentoring to each. Successfully navigating a variety of complicated issues with his Afghan counterpart, Sergeant Duffy was able to impart a sense of professionalism that permeated the ranks and increased stability in the region, thereby bringing honour to the Canadian Forces and to Canada.
