1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Joining me live in the studio right now is Commander

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: for the Darwin Region, Danny Bacon. Good morning to you,

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Katie Moe Lisses. Thanks so much for your time this morning. Now,

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Commander in what is some terrible news of course this morning,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: or it certainly looks like some terrible news. We know

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: that the Northern Territory Police along with community members from

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: what I can gather this morning in Palumpa searching for

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: a twelve year old who went missing was last scene

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: swimming at Mango Creek. From what I can gather, initial

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: reports stated that the child had been attacked by a crocodile.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: What do you know at this point?

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: That's correct, Katie. Tragically report received last night at five

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: point thirty from the health clinic within Plumper. The mother

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: of the twelve year old child a ten of the clinic,

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: and it stated that the child had been taken by

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: a crocodile. That's obviously generated a search and rescue deployment

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: of officers from Pepperinhati and what I They're continuing to

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: search Mango Creek specific location. The youth has not been

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: located today and there's ongoing search and marking activities within

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: the township itself.

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: So his mum had reported the.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Clinic reported to police five thirty last night.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not familiar with that area, with that Mango

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Creek area.

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Is it a location where.

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: It's known to be well populated by crocodiles.

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: I think any river system within the Northern Territory, you know,

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: you assume that crocodiles inhabit those locations. I don't know

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: the full extent of why the twelve year old was

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: in the river that particular junction in time, but that'll

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: be investigated at that point in time.

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Look, and no doubt plenty of resources out there now

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: searching for that young fella. Any idea sort of how

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: many you've got out there undertaking that search.

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Our focus is on the search and rescue at this

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: junction in time. We are looking for the youth, and

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: we have officers from what I am PEP Manharti and

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: officers from our search and rescue capability overseeing that operation

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: as well.

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: It's absolutely every parent's worse nightmare.

42
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, something like that, and then having to go

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: to the clinic and ask for that assistance and try

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: to get that help. I can't imagine how that poor

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: mum must have been feeling, yeah, and.

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: Obviously extended family, the whole community and so it's a

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: very small, close knit community as well. So yeah, quite

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: tragically reported the stage, we're are remaining hopeful. We continue

49
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: to remain hopeful and as I said, we'll engage as

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 2: many officers we can to try to take that search

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: and rescue in that particular location.

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: Well, Commander, no doubt police will keep us up to

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: date as any further info comes to hand with that situation. Now,

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this incident at Dripstone

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Cliffs on Territory Day. We've spoken to David Chirrivolo yesterday

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: who describe what sounded like pretty frightening scenes. You know,

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: his partner was in a situation where somebody had thrown

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: a firework at her. He reckons that they were sort

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: of hiding behind the car door, that these kids were

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: specifically trying to target families down there at Dripstone.

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Kadie, that you do have individuals that take the

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: liberty and go well beyond obviously what the use the

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: fire weeks for. We receive a number of calls obviously

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: on the behavior. We believe there's up to about twenty

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: youths that were participating in that activity. So the matter

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: is currently on an investigation by police. But I would

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: urge people if they have any particular CCTV footage or

68
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: particular dash cam footage, if they're in the area at

69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: the time, is to ring police on one three one,

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: triple four and just quote reference number NTP two four

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: one seven six three ninety four. Any information that could

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: assist us without any of those youths would be much appreciated,

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: so we can hold these individuals to account.

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Has anyone come forward with any vision at this point

75
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: in time, Yes, not yet.

76
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: To my knowledge, but hence why I'm very hopeful coming

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: on today to encourage people if they do have that footage,

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: particularly mobile footage or dash cam footage, just if they

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: can send that and call that through to nor inteation place.

80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: All right, well, hopefully we're able to ascertain who these

81
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: young people were.

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 3: Commander King to find out.

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: We're just talking police numbers a little bit earlier this

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: morning in terms of the most recent recruit squad graduating. Now,

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: initially I thought it was sixty four recruits graduating.

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: Sixty four or sixty three, do you know, Yeah, there

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: was sixty four sixty.

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: Four, and then we were told by the police Minister

89
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: that they were going to be hitting the beat as

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: of I think after that graduation on Friday, or maybe

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: it was Monday morning, but we've since learned that some

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: of them haven't quite finished their training.

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: Is that right, that's correct, Kennie. There was two squads

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: that graduated last Friday. Situation was Squad one five to

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: four and Transitional Squad one from the Xillaries to Constable.

96
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: The transitional squad is being remaining at the college for

97
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: a further period of time. They are likely to finish

98
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: around the twelfth of July, okay, and where they will

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: then return to the locations of where they transitioned from.

100
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: So you know, nineteen to be going to Ala Springs,

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: four dah and four Catherine, five Tenant Creek and one

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Lake of Villa, So they will then go from that.

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: There's obviously a period of time for the uplift or

104
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: downlift and travel time, so you know, we expect those officers,

105
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: certainly in the latter half of July to be operational

106
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: within THEIRS.

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: And were they delayed slightly because they were because they

108
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: had to go and help out in Alice Springs when

109
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: there was further incidents there.

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: Is that why that training was delayed.

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: It was ok. The officers were deported as part of

112
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: Operation Griminal and Ala Springs and that was to assist

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: in regards to the activity down there regards to the

114
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: youth and the curfew.

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: All right, So they are going to hopefully hit the

116
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: beat by the twelfth of.

117
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: July, further training by the half of July, and then

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: they'll be deployed to their locations from them, so you know,

119
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: it can be a number of days up to a

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: week obviously them to take up their position.

121
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: All right, and they are going to hit out to

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: a few different locations. No doubt it is going to

123
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: provide quite a bit of assistance I would think, you know,

124
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: in whichever location they go to. I know we've all

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: spoken about these police numbers on numerous occasions.

126
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: Sounds like it has been a bit of a juggle,

127
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: oh I said.

128
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: And credit to the college team. It's really been quite

129
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: a busy time for the college environment, for the instructors

130
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: and the staff there to try and prepare a range

131
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: of officers for their duty. We've got thirty one officers

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: immediately graduation. Ten of those are coming to this command

133
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 2: in Darwin, five in Catherine sixteen hours spring. So you know,

134
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: the officers graduated Friday, so they'll be already on their

135
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: way down to Alice Springs today and likewise for Catherine

136
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: and the officers in Dale, and I can advise that

137
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: they've a lot of the started those at their stations

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: this morning, which is pleasing to see.

139
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Okay, now, just moving along a little bit. I know

140
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: we've had quite a few listener questions. Quite a few

141
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: people get in contact with us about the situation in

142
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Yarrawonga last week with the death in Yarrawonga, and people,

143
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: I guess, because there wasn't a lot of information that

144
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: came out at that point in time, people trying to

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: ascertain exactly what had gone on. Now I am wondering,

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I guess, firstly, was it a break in gone wrong?

147
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: It was a very complex crime scene, if I could

148
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: put in that sort of complex. So we've charged a

149
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: twenty one year old Marle and relation to the death

150
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: at Yarrawonga. He's been charged with careless driving resulting in death,

151
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: recklessly engagement, serious aggravated on all for use of motor

152
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: vehicle and driving unlicensed. There's still a number of investigive

153
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: avenues to be undertaken regards that investigation, although charges have

154
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: been late, so I probably don't want to go into

155
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: too much of that because it is still an ongoing investigation,

156
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: okay with our major crime.

157
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: So the big question from some of our listeners is

158
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Katie was the twenty one year old.

159
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: Alleged defender on bail. Do we know whether it was

160
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: or not.

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't have that information before me to advise you

162
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: or your listeners, but what I can say is we

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: are still calling for any witnesses that are in the

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: vicinity of Yarrawanga at the time, and that's between seven

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: thirty pm and seven thirty am on Monday the twenty

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: fourth of June to choose the twenty fifth of June

167
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: and if they could contact police on one three one

168
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: triple four and again if they can quote the following

169
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: number is P two four one seventh Zerosure eighty five.

170
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I know some people have also questioned why this person

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: and hasn't been charged with murder. I don't know whether

172
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: that's something that you're able to answer given the fact

173
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: that it is before the courts.

174
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: They they're still ongoing investigative avenues being undertaken, and you

175
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: know whether or not further charges will be considered a

176
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: later time of that investigation. I can't really provide any

177
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: further information this time, all right.

178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: We will keep a close eye on that.

179
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I do want to ask. I know there's been actually

180
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: can I just ask you before I get to that.

181
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: Do we know if they were known to each other?

182
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: Those two people?

183
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right.

184
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: There are a few other things, of course, from over

185
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the course of the weekend as well. I know there's

186
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: been some further well, unlawful entries by the look of it.

187
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Northern Territory Police arrested two male youths after

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: an unlawful entry in Coconut Grove. That was they were

189
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: aged eleven and twelve, broke into KFC by the look

190
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: of things on Baggett Road. I know that they were

191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: both inn conveyed into the care of responsible adult.

192
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: Do you know if they caused much damage there?

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: I don't have the actual value of the damage cause,

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: but certainly they were apprehend at the time. One of

195
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: the years eleven obviously under the age of criminal responsibility,

196
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: but the twelve year old youth. He'll be assessed in

197
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: regards to youth diversion.

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: And police still calling for any detail on that one

199
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: if you saw anything one three, one, triple four. Also

200
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: this ram raid then at Jinglely by the look of it,

201
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: that was yesterday morning as well.

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: I know that it's.

203
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: Believed that a stolen motor vehicle allegedly a white Toyota

204
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Suv attended that location of rammed through the shutter doors

205
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: causing extensive damage.

206
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: That's great, Cody, fortuitous the entry wasn't gained in that

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: particular business at the time. The offenders for that matter

208
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: are still outstanding. Again, we ask if there's anyone that

209
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: has any information to assist us with our inquiries is

210
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: to contact police.

211
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: It seems that we've had a few car thefts and

212
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: also unfortunately a few bloody, terrible situations, a couple of

213
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: Nightcliff from last week, and I know we spoke about

214
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: one of them where there was an elderly couple that

215
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: were held up at knife point in Nightcliff. That was

216
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: sort of the week before last, but then last week

217
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: as well, from what I can see, Friday morning, about

218
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: three point thirty in the morning, police received reports that

219
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: two offenders entered a residence with an edged weapon and

220
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: threatened the occupants before stealing cash and a white Mercedes

221
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Sedan that's.

222
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Correct vehicle was subsequent located out in Mouldon and in Parniston.

223
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: There's still active investigation inquiries being undertaken. Again. We ask

224
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: listeners to if they have any further information that particular

225
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: matter is to call police.

226
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Are you seeing a bit of a flare up in

227
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: property crime again or is it more just that there

228
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: has I don't know. I guess that you know, there's

229
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: a few that have happened over the recent days.

230
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: I think there's a few that happened over a recent

231
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: days and obviously we've put some further information out there

232
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: to see if we can obtain some further information to

233
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: identify the offenders. As I've always in the UK, domestic

234
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: violence is the predominant one. I think over the last

235
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, you know, we had one unlawful entry

236
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: in the last twenty four hours, yet we had thirty

237
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: one domestic violence matters that we had to respond to.

238
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: So unlawful entry matter in the last twenty four hours

239
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: was you know Parmash had red Rooster where the drive

240
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: through window was smashed and we've apprehended a thirty year

241
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: old mile for that offense and he's currently in custody.

242
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Has said domestic violence still is the predominant crime cross

243
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: down across the Northern Territory. You know, that's that's one

244
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: every hour, one point three every hour, and that's just

245
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: in the last twenty four hour period itself.

246
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: It is woeful.

247
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we get to the point at

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: any stage where you know, like I understand that it's

249
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: not an easy thing to be able to bring those

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: domestic violence numbers down, but it seems as though it

251
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: is also something that you know that is is taking

252
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: up a lot of police resourcing, and rightly so, it

253
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: is something that police need to be called out to,

254
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: but you know, it.

255
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: Is what can be done in this space.

256
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: Really, I think about tall talking about domestic violence is

257
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: probably a good starting point. I mean, a lot of

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: the communication I get is people obviously complaining not obviously,

259
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: but they complaining about property crime, any social behavior. I

260
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: very rarely get complaints about what are you doing about

261
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: domestic violence? You know, but I get a lot of

262
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,239
Speaker 2: complaints about why you investigating this property is? For investigating

263
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: these us any social behavior. I really don't get a

264
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: lot of pressure from the community or information from the media,

265
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: So what are you doing about domestic violence? So it's

266
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: really I think highlighting domestic violence in the community and

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: talking about domestic violence, I think is their starting point.

268
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: And also just asking everybody if they see domestic violence,

269
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: report domestic violence. You know, if we don't know about it,

270
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: we can't deal with the domestic violence. About protecting the

271
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: victims of domestic vince and holding perpetrayers to account.

272
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Just I suppose on the just to go back to

273
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: and I know obviously we're talking domestic violence there, but

274
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: just to go back to that other situation in Nightcliff

275
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: where they had their car stolen at knife point, the

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: one that is still outstanding. That's a pretty frightening situation

277
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: for someone to be in, to be inside their homes

278
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: someone come in with a bloody knife.

279
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: These are elderly people as well within the residents themselves,

280
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: that would be quite daunting, devastating, frightening. You know, we

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: talk about property damage, but this is assault. This is

282
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: going to be a memory that they will not be

283
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: able to erase, and quite feeling unsafe lasts a long,

284
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: long time, particularly an offense of this particular nature as well.

285
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Hey, I know the Police Minister have been on the

286
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: show last week as well and had said that there

287
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: was going to be some increased patrols or some increased

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: work I think in terms of anti social behavior and

289
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: targeting public drinking. Is that something that's going on over

290
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the next couple of.

291
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: Weeks at school holidays period as well. So we've got

292
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: increased activities particularly around our public spaces area itself. Were

293
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: also are looking to grow our Territory Safety Division, which

294
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: is looking at that anti social behavior, but also that

295
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: particular the division itself is looking at our regional supporter

296
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: and remote support as well, so we are looking at

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: increasing that capability as part of that whole MT Police

298
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: resource review. But these are these additional officers don't appear overnight.

299
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: It takes a while to see train officers and then

300
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: deploy officers. So we are starting to see them as

301
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: they hit the ground now with the two squads graduating,

302
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: albeit one squad's remaining back for a number of weeks

303
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: for further curriculum, but we are still starting to see

304
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: those additional resources you hit the streets, which.

305
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: Is pleasing to see come on to Danny Ba. Can

306
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: we better leave it. They're good to speak with you

307
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: as always, good to be here. Thanks Kate, thank you,
