1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: A survey of senior police officers shows there's concern that

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: the cops coming out of Police College aren't up to

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: the job. This is the survey of training officers found

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: fifty five percent feel that new cops were barely or

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: not at all well equipped with knowledge of arrest and

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: charge procedures. Chris Carhill is the president of the Police

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Association and with us right now.

8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: Hey, Chris, good afternoon. Either have they got.

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Something to complain about here or is it just experienced

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: people complaining about the youngies. Like in every sector, there's.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: A little bit of that. Look, there's some good stuff

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: there that give you the steer at the college where

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: they need to put some more time. But I think

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: we've always said over the years that the group after

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: is aren't as good as we were in as an

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 2: element of that in there there's some quite good stuff here.

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: I was pleased to see that the stuff where I'm driving,

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: tactical options, firearms generally they thought the guys were doing

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: recruits were doing really well in those areas. But it

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: certainly gives a steer where they need to put more

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: resources in at the college.

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Not so good at the paperwork now, is that just

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: because no one's good at paperwork when they're young, or

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: is it because young people are coming out of school

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: not very good at doing the reading and writing what

26
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: do you reckon?

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a little bit of that. I

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: think also it's an area that college needs to put

29
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: more time until we do know. We get a lot

30
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: of reports that they're not good at taking statements, chain

31
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: of evidence, preparation of stuff for court really important. Not

32
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: mess through the sexy stuff, but the stuff that will

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: catch you out when you're out on the street and

34
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: you start suddenly going to court and putting files together.

35
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: So there is also stuff you sort of have to

36
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: learn as well as you do, but certainly an area

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: to put more resources into.

38
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, hey, thank you very much. Chris appreciated
