1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Now I got some trouble at north Police putting more 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: resources into Northland. We had a burst of violent crime. 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,040 Speaker 1: Ninety officers currently being sent on five week rotation. Superintendent 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: to Matt. Sir Huey is the Northland District Commander and 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: as well as Matt, very good morning to. 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: You morning mate. 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Is that the four homicides that's tipped you over resource wise? 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah it was. I suppose it was the tipping point 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: for us, Mike. We had four on quite a quick succession. 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: They take up a huge amount of investigative resource. 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: So that's the aftermath of the event and working through 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: the investigation, the paperwork, tidying it up, that's what would 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: suck you drive you didn't have the extra people coming 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: into the region. 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, and we have to draw obviously our 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: investigative pulls from other inquiries that they're working on to 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: complete that. So you know, it's quite unusual to have 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: that many in such a short space of time, so 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: we put the call out. I think it's the real 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: blessing and advantage I think of having a national police force. 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Given that is unusual. Does that mean this is kind 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: of a one off and you wouldn't expect it to 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: become a thing. 24 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: I certainly hope so, Mike, you know, there's obviously, you know, 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: no guarantees about some of these things. Some of these 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: things can be a bit random. But yeah, definitely, it 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: was definitely unusual. 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: Have you got a time frame when things can go 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: back to normal so to speak. 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: It's, you know, we're in a much better space at 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: the moment over the last three months, with the support 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: we've had from around the country. It's, you know, given 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: us a chance to sort of, I suppose, get back 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: on top of things a little bit. We'd love it 35 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: to continue as long as it can, but you know, 36 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: obviously these are busy people that are giving up their 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: time and their districts are giving up their people to 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: come and support us. So at some point they've got 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: to get back to their place. 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Well, good luck with it. Appreciate it very much, mets 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: So has the Northern District commanded. 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 43 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: news Talks at b from six am weekdays, or follow 44 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
