It is Commander Danny Bacon from the 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: Northern Territory Police. 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: Good morning, Kenny. 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Now, I had planned to play a bit of John 7 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: Farnham for you, like it was your farewell tour for 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: the third fourth. I don't know how many times we've 9 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: had you in and said it's goodbye. 10 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: It's definitely good bye for this like a. 11 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: Cockerroach coming back. No, we love having you on this show, Danny, 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: So we are grateful that you're in and we're going 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: to talk about your little friend that you've bought in 14 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: in just a couple of moments. But we will get 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: to the very serious stuff first, because there is a 16 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: lot happening around the place now back to school today, 17 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: of course, the kids heading back to school, and it 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: does mean people needing to slow back down in those 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: school zone right. 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: Most definitely, and I'm certain we have our operational resources, 21 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: both our road safety but also our frontline resources concentrating 22 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: on school zones today. It is a first day of 23 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: school for a lot of our young toddlers out that way, 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: and certainly road since probably isn't fore front of their mind, 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: but it should be on all our road users out 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: that way. So we've been paying attention, particularly this week, 27 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: but also in the coming week as well. You know, 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: we've had four fatalities this year already, you know, compared 29 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: to one last year that was through one one significant crash. 30 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: So we just want to obviously make sure everybody has 31 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: a fun first day at school and everyone remains safe 32 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: around those school zones. 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: So has there been additional police out this morning around 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: those school zones. Just keep an eye on things. 35 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: Certainly our road Safety team, that's one of its features 36 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: highly on their calendar. You know, it's like your Easter, 37 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: your Christmas campaign, so back to school campaigns are always 38 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: there features in our high profile activity, particularly around that area. 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you know, I hope all the kids 40 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: have settled in to their first day at school nicely, 41 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: and just take care if you are out and about 42 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: on the roads this afternoon as well, because it is 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: just that bit of getting used to that you've got 44 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: to make sure you're adhering to them. Those school zone 45 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, the forty I think it's forty, isn't it. 46 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: It is in those school zones. Jeer now commander. Quite 47 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: a bit happening, and we know that a fugitive accused 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: of conspiring to import illicit drugs into Australia charged in 49 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: July following an investigation as part of Operation Ironside's being 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: found and detained on a boat off the Northern Territory coast. 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: That's correct, Curry said day evening the futive was identified. 52 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: I believe you identified in norm Boy. From a result 53 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: of that identification, strain Border Force AFP and two police 54 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: sort of coordinated activity to apprehend the fugitive out at 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: Norman Boy at sea and bring them back into Norman Boy. 56 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: So he is now facing court this morning in regards 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: to extra diving him back to New South Wales. Additionally, 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: the crew of the vessel that alleged that he was 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: on and being sparkled out of Australia, a dutch Man 60 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: fifty one years of age and United Kingdom again both 61 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: have been charged with people smuggling and will attend court 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: as well. 63 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like an example of the Northern 64 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Territory Police working pretty closely with the AFP. I mean, 65 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: we know Reese Kurs or the former Northern Territory Police 66 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: Commissioner is now indeed the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police. 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Are we like, is it a situation where we are 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, we are seeing that real coordinated response. I 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: guess not just with the Northern Territory Police but police 70 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: forces right around Australia. 71 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: We certainly are. I suppose the coordination with police forces 72 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: around Australia is very strong, that there are key partners 73 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: in law enforcement activity. Both the ABS and the AFP 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: have footprints within the territory as well. We have a 75 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: good working relationship with both those authorities. We work well 76 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: together and on this operation itself goes to proving that. 77 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Now I want to go across and have a look 78 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: at what's going on in Catherine at the moment the 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: Northern Territory Police calling for info after an aggravated robbery 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: and an assault of a worker that had occurred over 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: the long weekend. Just talk us through firstly exactly what's 82 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: going on and where those investigations are at. 83 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: Investigations are ongoing, but I will go through the series 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: of events. And that was on Sunday evening. The Joint 85 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Wednesday Service Communications Center received a report of five years 86 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: causing damage to the front doors of a service station 87 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: by a Centennial Road. The group jumped the canton, stole 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: a corny of cigarettes and a cash register, fled on foot. 89 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: Staff were able to secure themselves in the staff room 90 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: following the incident and a short time a police attendant 91 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: and established a crime scene. But a separate incident two 92 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: days later on Tuesday, another group of US for throwing 93 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: rocks at the service station on Bistony Road and a 94 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: security worker intervened and the group fled the location. The 95 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: security officer that actually intervened was struck to the head 96 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: with a rock before the US fled on scene. He 97 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: was treated with first aid by attending some john and police. 98 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: So Strike for Service has ongoing investigations for both those 99 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 2: series of events, both on Sunday and Tuesday. We're asking 100 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: for anybody that it was in the particular area at 101 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 2: the time, if they have any information or video evidence 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: or at all or dash cam footage, if they can 103 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: come forward and notified police to assessed us in those inquiries. 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: And Commander we had just heard as well from the 105 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: Northern Territory Police Association that the watchhouse there in Catherine 106 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: at the moment is pretty full, and it's full because 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: corrections are actually needing that facility for prisoners. 108 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 2: That's correct, Codie, the Nonette of Police has been assisting 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: corrections during an unpreciated demand for prisoners. And that's just 110 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: not in Catherine, it's across Darwin, Catherine and Alice Springs. 111 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: You heard mister Finn before you, two hundred and seventy 112 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: three prisoners were currently in our custody this morning. Two 113 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: hundred and forty one of those work Corrections prisoners themselves. 114 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 2: So Corrections don't have a footprint in regards to custody 115 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: or services in Catherine. So it's very challenging for our 116 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: operational police officers in that watchouse environment to look after 117 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: correctional prisonesses. Our agency is working close with the Attorney 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: General's Department, Department Logistics Infrastructure, also obviously the Department Corrections 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: to try and manage prisoners across the territory and also 120 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: look at other infrastructure coming online so we can reduce 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 2: I suppose the need for prisoners to occupy our police 122 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: watch houses. 123 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: And have offices been given instruction that not urgent or 124 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: non urgent arrests be avoided if possible. 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: Instruction has not gone out of that nature. Instruction has 126 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: gone out over the radio was if people arrest an 127 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: individual is to notify the watch commander on the radio, 128 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: and that was so that the watch commander can plan 129 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: in conjunction with the custody team in regards to how's 130 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: best to receive that prisoner within the watchhouse environment. Because 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: given the increased custoes we have, particularly Armiston in regards 132 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: to managing them within that custody environment, we need to 133 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: make sure we have cells ready to process them. So 134 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: that may may mean the movement of prisoners prior to 135 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: the arrest getting there. So we have had given the numbers, 136 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: we have had prisoners waiting in the back of vans 137 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: within our sally port are waiting for sell space so 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: we can process them approachedly. 139 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: So is that like, is that getting difficult then for 140 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: officers I mean having to hold them I guess in those. 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: Vans it's very challenging and it's a challenging operational environment 142 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: for them. And hats off to the men and women 143 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: the working in that watchouse environment, not just from a 144 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: policing perspective, but also those are working in acrections area 145 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: now and watch ass as well. It's a very challenge 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: environment with a demand we have there, but they are 147 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: achieving that and achieving the goals of keeping the prisoners safe, 148 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: but the main time keeping them safe as well. So 149 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: as an agency, we've made sure that we've reached out 150 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: as well with their health and well being of our 151 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: team members because it is a height and stressful environment 152 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: for them to deal with that. So you know, we've 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: engaged their health and well being services to make sure 154 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: that we were tagging in with our staff just to 155 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: make sure that we're monitoring them and making sure that 156 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: they are okay. 157 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think is obviously something that needs to happen. 158 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, I've got to make sure as those increased pressures, 159 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: well as those pressures increase, that the staff are sort 160 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: of you know, that you're keeping an eye on each 161 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: other because it can be really stressful, I would imagine 162 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: it is. 163 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: And we've had to operate out open our operating cells 164 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: at PMC, which is a training watch house, to alleviate 165 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: some of that concern pressure as well. So we are 166 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: aware obviously, you know, we're the Department Corrections and Planning 167 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: environment that you know, there are other facilities coming line 168 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: which are imminent. But again that's only not meeting that 169 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy three that are there. So it's 170 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: about making sure that other agencies are the forefront of 171 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: their minds to keep this ongoing so it doesn't impact 172 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: our operations because at the end of the day, our 173 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: role is to keep the territory safe and that does 174 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: mean that we need to apprehend and arrest people and 175 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: we will continue. 176 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: To do it. That's exactly right, you know, and that's 177 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: what the community wants, that's what the community expects. They 178 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: don't want violent offenders out on the street. They want 179 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: to make sure that they are indeed in custody if 180 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: that's where they need to be. 181 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I can tell Territorians that we have not changed 182 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: their operational footprint at all in that space. There was 183 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: a time in Katherine with our Task Force futureve task 184 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: for down there which was suspended on the for just 185 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: that day of operation given the preciures of Catherine yep. 186 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: But it has not stopped our operational footprint and keeping 187 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: territory and safe and locking people up when they need 188 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: to be locked down. 189 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to ask you about this situation in 190 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: your head that occurred on Sunday. So essentially, an eleven 191 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: year old boy was allegedly assaulted by an unknown male 192 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: youth at the William Forest Park in Merhead. Now, the 193 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: victim had been walking along Ash Straight when he was 194 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: allegedly followed by the offender riding a black and white 195 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: too Will push scooter. Now, the mum of this young fella, 196 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: as I understand it, got contact with us yesterday. We 197 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: didn't speak to her on air. She spoke to us 198 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: all fair and she said that he's okay. But then 199 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: her understanding is that the police actually not who this 200 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: alleged offender is. I know you are still continuing to 201 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: call for witnesses. 202 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: Yes, we are okay. First of all, any assault of 203 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: this nature, particularly by a stranger and on the youth, 204 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: it's just horrific, it really is. And whilst it's pleasing 205 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: to see he's okay physically, obviously the trauma of the 206 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: assault will be everlasting for him as well. So the 207 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: facts the matter. As you stated in regards to the 208 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: incident itself, we are asking for people to come forward. 209 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: The offenders describe as abriginal appearance agewen sixteen to eighteen 210 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: years of age, about five foot ten, skinny building. At 211 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: the time, he was wearing long white black dress with 212 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: puffy hair. So the incident occurred, as I said, early 213 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: on Sunday afternoon in Meorhead. So whilst we have identify 214 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: the individual to involved, we're still calling for further evidence 215 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: from people that may have witnessed that so we can 216 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: investigate the matter further. But the offender is known to us, 217 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: and we are currently engaging and working with that offender 218 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: to see the best way that we can deal with 219 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: the situation. 220 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 1: Commander, I know people will be listening right now and 221 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: they might be thinking to themselves, well, if he's known 222 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: to you, guys, and if you know who he is, 223 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: wise he out on the street. 224 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: And that's a good question, Katie. What I can tell 225 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: us is the offender is known to us. He is 226 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: subject to other custody or control that's not sort of 227 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: in a corrections environment. So there's no ongoing threat to 228 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: the community or that particular youth. However, there's a number 229 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: of things that we need to do as an authority 230 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: to make sure we gather some evidence to then put 231 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: it before another appropriate body. If that makes not talking 232 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: around in riddles, but the offender is known to us, 233 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: he's in a different custoval environment and being managing that space. 234 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: There's no ongoing threat again to that youth or that community. 235 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: But we still are calling on other evidence people to 236 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: come forward to assist us in putting information to assist 237 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: that other body. 238 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: Now, Commander, it is pretty much your last time on 239 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: air with us. We believe, we believe. 240 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: No, I mean more more tools than John Farler. That's 241 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: pretty correct. 242 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: But now you've brought him a little friend this morning 243 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: as well, which I'm very excited about, Yoki the little dog. Yes, 244 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: now she's going to be going on your farewell tour 245 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: with you, isn't she She is. 246 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: It's completely different from policing. I've retiring, as we. 247 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: Know, how many years in the police force. 248 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: Thirty eight years in the police force when I joined 249 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: at sixteen years of age, so sixteen. It's been seventy 250 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: percent of my life has been in this uniform and 251 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: it's been an absolute honor and a privilege. It really 252 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: is to an opportunity to work in this organization, but 253 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: also to work in protecting the norn tetic community. I 254 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: have no regrets at all. Yes, you had some bad 255 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: days and sad days, but I'll tell you what, the 256 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: good days far outweigh those.
