1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Now we know that it was pretty extraordinary, like I've 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: said in Parliament yesterday, for a lot of reasons. But 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: the Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, described a so called political 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: campaign by the Northern Territory Police Association as malicious during 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: question time. As we've previously heard on the show, the 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: association has continually urged the Chief Minister to withdraw his 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: now infamous line. Consequences will flow after a jury found 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Constable Zach Rolf not guilty of murder. Mister gonna claim 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: the opposition and the Northern Territory Police Association was seeking 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: to use the line to stoke division in the community. 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: Now joining me on the line is the Police Association 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: President Paul McHugh. 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: Good morning to Paul. 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 3: Morning Katy. 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: Here are you going very well? Paul? 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: Are you stoking an already volatile situation. 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: It's just complained nonsense, really, Katie. I mean, obviously you 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: know it's pretty sad that we have to sit here 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: and listen again to the Chief Minister try and divert 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: a form of responsibility from the words he said to 21 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: an organization that represents the swarm police officers who are 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: out there every day working hard and obviously they remained 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: upset from day one about those comments, whether obviously you know, 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 3: what he meant to say didn't come out right at 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: the time, and obviously, you know, it certainly upset many 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: of our officers at the time and continues to do 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 3: so today. And of course we reflect, simply reflect the 28 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: feeling of those officers about what we was said at 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: the time, and to simply to stand there and say, well, 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: we're creating this divide is complete and other nonsense and 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: we totally reject that. 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Well, what percentage of the Northern Territory Police Force does 33 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: the Police Association represent? 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: Nearly ninety nine percent, Katie, So just about every single 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: person that to sworn officer, police, auxiliary, abiginal community police 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: officer are members of the Northern Territory Police Association. So, 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: you know, when we've the last two years have been very, 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: very difficult for a lot of people, and obviously our 39 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: officers have had to wait over two and a half 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: year or nearly two and a half years for the 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: outcome of the criminal trial. And through that period we 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 3: respected that process and everyone should have done that, and 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 3: obviously that large portion of the membership were very very 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: vocal at the time of the comments being made and 45 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: to nearly two and a half years later, that responsibility 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: for those words still lies with the Chief Minister, and 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: rightly so, and he can't reflect from that. It's his words, 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: not ours, and we're simply reflecting the views of our members. 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: Paul, what are your members saying to you since since 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: the Roles trial concluded? What are they saying and what 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: are they still saying to you about the comments which 52 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: were made by the Chief Minister. 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, obviously at the time, pretty much the same 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: as all at the time. I mean, obviously they were 55 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: very concerned, you know, with those words. We know the 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: Chief Minister explained himself eventually around the fact he was 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: talking about a crale investigation, but they were very concerned. 58 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: He used the words consequences of the word particularly, and 59 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: obviously that inferred to them and they perceived it as 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: he thinks there's been some wrongdoing and the community will, well, 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 3: we'll expect some sort of outcome from that wrongdoing. And obviously, 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: whether that was right or wrong, or however it was 63 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: perceived at the time, our members were extremely upset. Since 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: the trials concluded, there's still a lot of questions that 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: can't be answered. We've obviously got a coronal investigation to 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: come that's been listed for September for ten weeks. We 67 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: look forward to that process taking its course where hopefully 68 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: some more questions can be answered. But they're still very 69 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: frustrated because there's still a lot of unknown to this day. 70 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: So Paul, would you say right now there are still 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: members of the police force that are raising those comments 72 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: with you and speaking to you as the president of 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: the Police Association about those comments made by the Chief Minister, 74 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: or is this something I guess what I'm getting to is, 75 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: you know is the Chief Minister is essentially saying that 76 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: you're stoking the fire. But are you raising this because 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: members of the Association of raising it with you. 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: I was in our Springs last Friday. They raised it 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: with me there. They raised it every day with me 80 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: on whether it's through email or phone. I've even had 81 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: police from around the country continue to raise their concerns 82 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 3: about those comments. So I'm not stoking any fires. I'm 83 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: not trying to inflame anything. I'm creating any division. This 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: is about making sure people who say and do certain 85 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 3: things are responsible for those actions. It doesn't matter if 86 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: it was now or two years down the track, and 87 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 3: that's all our job is is to reflect those views 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: of the membership. 89 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: Paul, are you pretty frustrated at this point in time 90 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: about the way that this is all sort of continuing 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to roll out. 92 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, because look at the heart of this, we've got 93 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 3: a police force that's really it struggled in terms of 94 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 3: morale over the last couple of years. We're losing a 95 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: lot of members over that last couple of years. I 96 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: feel a bit down at times. And obviously resourcing can 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: he needs to be a problem. So they just want 98 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: to see they want to see some answers, but they 99 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: also want to see that level of support from their 100 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: chief minister, from the government around a whole bunch of issues. 101 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: You know, we've got a whole lot of things going 102 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: on in the Northern Territory around youth crime and crime 103 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: and alcohol related harm, and these are things we need 104 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: to be focusing on. And yet he wants to throw 105 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: the police Union, which represents nearly every police officer out there, 106 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: under the bus over a comment he made over two 107 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: years ago. And I think it's just really poor schoolyard 108 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: tactics and we're just not not entertaining that in any way. 109 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's just to completely reject those inferences he's making. 110 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: The Chief Minister claims that, you know, some of this 111 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: questioning isn't just an attack on him, but an attack 112 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: on the police. Is this. 113 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 3: I have no idea what thinking comes to that conclusion. 114 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, if he thinks us making comments about 115 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: him is attacking our own men members, I mean, heaven, 116 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: please explain that. I mean, I have no idea where 117 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: he's coming from with that one. I'm sorry. 118 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: Do you support an inquiry? 119 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: I know that the opposition is obviously calling quite strongly 120 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: for an inquiry to happen. 121 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: Do you support that? Does the Association support that? 122 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? Look, obviously, as I said, there's a lot of 123 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: questions still to be answered. Obviously, as I said, there's 124 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: a coronal investigation to take place that won't take place 125 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: until September. Now, we don't know really what that will 126 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: look at at this stage, and until we know that, 127 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: we don't know when you know, what's going to come 128 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: as a result of that particular coronials. So we're keen 129 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 3: to see the terms of reference around that and what 130 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: the scope is for that particular matter, but certainly there 131 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: needs to be a review into what we called for 132 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: it on the Monday after the trial, we said there 133 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: needs to be some interrogation around some of the actions 134 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 3: shortly after the shooting, and we maintain that stance today. 135 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 3: And obviously this has been a really tough time for 136 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 3: a lot of police out there. Katie. We're talking not 137 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: just comfortable role with his family, but the investigators, the witnesses, 138 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: the whole police forces really has really been under the 139 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: pump over the last two years because of this, Paul. 140 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: I know that there was recently a survey which was 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: conducted by the Northern Territory government, so not a police 142 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: association survey, that really looked into the morale I think 143 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: it'd say of the police force. You and I have 144 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: spoken about police morale for some time, but from your perspective, 145 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: what did this survey show. 146 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: Well, I had some fairly poor results. I mean, obviously 147 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 3: there was quite a bit of feedback in that survey, which, 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: as you pointed out, is a police fire an emergency 149 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: service specific survey, so it was something run by the 150 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: government and I know they had a lot of feedback 151 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: on that. We haven't really seen any updates in terms 152 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: of the results and what that means and what actions 153 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: might be put in place. But I'm acutely aware the 154 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: Commissioner would be looking at that because there was some 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: pretty concerning results out of that survey around morale and 156 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: resourcing and that sort of thing, and that's reflected and 157 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: what our survey came up with last year as well. 158 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: Paul, how is the morale of the force again, I 159 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: know I asked you about this last week, but how 160 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: is the morale of the force right now? 161 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: It's difficult, it's challenging. Obviously, we've got a lot of 162 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: people that continue to leave the police force at the moment, 163 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: so we're losing that experience and I know the Commission's 164 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: looking at alternatives around that. But what really impacts morale, Cadie, 165 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: is your resourcing. And you know, we're still today getting 166 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: a lot of phone calls from members saying, you know, 167 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: we've only got one van on the road again and 168 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 3: they're just job to job to job to job and 169 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: it's taking its toll and that really is affecting morale. 170 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 3: So let's get that right and maybe we can turn 171 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: things around pretty quickly. But I know that's something we've 172 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: focused on and talking to the Commissioner about Paul. 173 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: When you talk about those numbers of how many police 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: are leaving the force at the moment, where are we 175 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: sitting per month? 176 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: I think you know, we're still sitting approximately between ten 177 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: and fifteen a month at this stage, and I mean 178 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: that's just on average, but of course when we're looking 179 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: at it as a national average, we're probably still sitting 180 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 3: twice or three times a national average, which is probably 181 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: the biggest concern given you know other police forces, we 182 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 3: know the Federal Police, we know South Australia, we know Queensland. 183 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: They're all going to be recruiting very heavily this year 184 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 3: and possibly lateral type transfers where you can move over 185 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: at rank or holding your qualifications and that will really 186 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 3: impact the Northern Territory again this year as it has 187 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. 188 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: Well, I do want to ask you have you as 189 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: the association president, I know that you know there's obviously 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: this pretty pretty heightened discussion which is taking place not 191 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: between you and the Chief Minister, but sort of in the. 192 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: Media and on the proof freeze. 193 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: You're obviously not overly happy with the Chief Minister at 194 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: this point. In time, has the Police Minister given that 195 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: support to the police force. 196 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, we still obviously maintain contact with the Police Minister, 197 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: so she holds the portfolio, and you know, we certainly 198 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: are planning another meeting in the very near future, so 199 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 3: that hasn't waned. We certainly know. I mean, we'll continually 200 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: raise our concerns through her office and rightly so as 201 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: the Minister, and she continues to provide us some assurances 202 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: around support for police. But of course, you know when 203 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: that support is excellent in terms of words, but we 204 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: need in actions to see that resourcing model looked at. 205 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 3: We need to make sure we've got enough police to 206 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: do what they're being asked to do. And let's not 207 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 3: forget the last couple of years, of course, has been 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 3: difficult with COVID and the responsibilities police have been given there. 209 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: So certainly we still have maintain that contact with the Minister, 210 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: and we've got a meeting coming up very soon. 211 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: Paul, I know it had been reported, and please correct 212 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. It had been reported that you 213 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: had called for the Chief Minister to step aside if 214 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: he couldn't commit to helping heal divisions with the community. 215 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: And the Police Service. Do you maintain that. 216 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, obviously what we're what our point there is, Katie, 217 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: is simply we just want to the last two has 218 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: been very difficult, very very difficult, difficult for a lot 219 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: of people. It's time to start heading in the right direction, 220 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: and we want the Chief Minister to reach out and 221 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: make sure he's doing everything he can in his role 222 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: to make sure police have got what they need to 223 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: do their job and continue to do it in a 224 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: professional and well resourced capacity. If he's not willing to 225 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: reach out and make that make that contact, well then 226 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: maybe he should step aside and let someone else take 227 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: that opportunity. But you know, there's a lot of there's 228 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: a long way ahead, there's still a lot of water 229 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: to go under the bridge, and certainly we want to 230 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: make sure that our members are represented appropriately and we're 231 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 3: doing that for the best of our ability by raising 232 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 3: these concerns on their behalf. 233 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: Police Association President Paul McHugh, I really appreciate your. 234 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: Time this morning.
