1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Joining me live in the studio right now. Commander Danny

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Bacon from the Northern Territory Police. Good morning to you.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: Morning now, commander. I understand that you are well.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: There's been some pretty serious stalking charges laid overnight.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: The certainly has Katie and as you know, I come on,

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: do you show you about domestic violence being the predominant

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: crime type not just in Darn but across the whole

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 3: Northern Territory And a lot of people think it's in

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: the public space at all, but you know, a lot

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: of the domestic violence is behind closed doors.

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: And you don't sort of see that out there.

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: But Northern Territory Police have charged the men with multiple

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: stalking lay offenses in Darwin and those sort of charges

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: stem back in from March.

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four. To take you some serious crime.

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: They began investigation after women reported some suspicious behavior for

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: a man that was known to her. He was arrested

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: at the time and placed on some fairly strict bil conditions.

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: Now on the seveneenth of June, you know this week's

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: serious comedy. After receiving some further information, examined the woman's

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: vehicle and located a secreted and hand wide into the

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: vehicle's electronics was a GPS tracker with also a listening

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: device capability and the ability to transmit real time data.

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: Police attended the forty two year old men's residence where

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: a number of unused GPS tracking devices, trail cameras, mobile

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: phones and tablets were seized. Also located with to forums

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: and unsecured ammunition. The four t year old has been

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: arrested in charged and he'll be appearing in court today.

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: He's been charged with attempt to the course of justice, install,

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: use and maintain listening devices recklessly endangering serious harm. And

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: that's in relation to the device has been able to

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 3: stop the vehicle whilst it's in motion, not the vehicle

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: wasn't stopped in motion, but had the ability for that

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: to occur, intervening with the motor vehicle. Possessing and using

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: a firearm whilst unlicensed and failing to meet storage requirements.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable, incredible and invasive, traumatizing obviously for the victim

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: involved in this particular matter. Peter been going on for

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: a period of time and we'll be alleging as that

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: the offender had the capability of remotely shutting down that

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: vehicle without the driver's input, something that could have had

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: potentially deadly consequences for her but also other road users

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: as well. It's quite significant charges and it is good

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: to remove him and have him in cussing before court today.

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: That is horrible. That is absolutely horrible.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: Horrible, disgusting that the victim themselves obviously very traumatizing knowing

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: that this occurred. Obviously within for the information to come

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: to hand, she did not know the extent of that information.

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: But credit to the serious crime detectives, the investigation itself

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: in uncovering what was quite significant.

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Well, full credit to them on being able to do

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: that as well before something really really bad happened in

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: terms of that vehicle being able to be controlled remotely.

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: That's all shut down remotely. That's unbelievable, shocking. Yeah, so

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: in court today, forty two year.

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: Old forty two old will be in court today facing

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: those charges.

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, look, I'll reserve my comments because I don't

58
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: want to get either of us in trouble.

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: But that is a shocking, shocking situation. Now I will

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: move along.

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that domestic violence has a huge

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: impact on the Northern Territory every day. You and I

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: speak about it quite often. There is I mean, there's

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: a lot sort of happening around the place. So over

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: recent days, I'll just take you across right now. We

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: know that yesterday there was the fatal crash in Johnson,

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Northern Territory. Police investigating that fatal crash in Johnson yesterday morning.

68
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Is there any update in this space?

69
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: No update other than obviously it's a tragic sixty one

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: year old male. His life was lost, and that particular

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: incid itself investigations underway. The drive itself was tested for

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: our cold drugs. They don't appear to be involved, so

73
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: that the traffic team will continue that particular investigation.

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: But that brings our our lives.

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: Lost in our roads now to twenty eight. This time

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: last year were sitting at six and for the whole

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: of Canty last year was sitting at thirty one. These

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: are shocking statistics, you know, I think we're the highest

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: lives lost, you know, within the Western world, compared to

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: our population and registered vehicles and our roadways. And it's

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 3: just a senseless loss of life, it really is. Because

82
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: all these crashes are preventable, that they're not accidents, they're crashes.

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: You know, the statistics for the Northern Territory, as I said,

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: are shocking. There's a preventable deaths over eighty percent of

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: the crashes that we have in this in the fatal

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: space you know, dragon Acle whole involvement, they really are.

87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: You know, we have sixty percent over six percent representation

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: from Abageal Torres Straight Island individuals that are fatally lost.

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: So there is a level of complacency by our road

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: users there really are. It's not infrastructure, it's not those

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: sort of key things. This is about individual making choices,

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: bad choices which not able put themselves at risk, but

93
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: also put other road users at risk.

94
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: It's just shocking.

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Now, we obviously there was that tragic cyclist death, but

96
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: we also know that earlier in the week on Monday,

97
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory Police charged a twenty three year old

98
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: man who was involved in a hit and run that

99
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: had occurred last Thursday afternoon. Now that man was charged

100
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: on Friday night with hit and run causing serious harm

101
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: and bailed to appear on the twenty fifth of June.

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: One of the injured pedestrians, a thirty nine year old man,

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: has died in hospital on Sunday night. As I understand it,

104
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: another terrible situation, example of tragedy on our roads. Commander,

105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: we seem to have a real situation in the Northern

106
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: Territory at the moment. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Where there are people walking on the road that should

108
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: not be on the road, you know, walking in some cases,

109
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the situation is in this one,

110
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: so I'm not you know, I don't want to generalize,

111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: but in some cases walking in front of.

112
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: Vehicles, that's correct.

113
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: I think twenty percent, over twenty percent of our fatalities

114
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: this year lives loss have been pedestrian related and unfortunately

115
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: a lot of that pedestrian related deaths. There is alcohol

116
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: and drug involvement in that space as well. That is

117
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: only a smaller portion, I suppose of the road safety

118
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: issues itself. There's a number of strategies that we need

119
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: to look at across the wall in the community. This

120
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: is going back to individuals, I suppose doing the wrong thing,

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: not being aware of the road. So you're talking about

122
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: a lot of engagement with licensed premises, you know, having

123
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: a look at licensed premises where they are close to

124
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: major arterial roads. You are looking at potentially road designs

125
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: around licensed premises and the major arterial roads. But it

126
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: all still comes back to individual responsibility as well, and

127
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: you know what individuals do and don't do in regards

128
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: to their own self awareness and safety. But certainly engaging

129
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: with vulnerable territories is one of those key strates we

130
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: are looking at now.

131
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: We have also it's been raised with us over recent

132
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: days as well, that public drinking in some locations. So

133
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: one of the spots where there is there is often

134
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately people drinking in that public place is sort of

135
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: near the highway there when you're coming in through Palmerston. Now,

136
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean even there it does seem to be a

137
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: dangerous location then for pedestrians. So how luck do we

138
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: need to intervene earlier when people are drinking in those

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: public places so that we don't reach a point where

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: people are then walking onto the roads.

141
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: I suppose key for your listeners, we do and we

142
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: do not. When I say we, it's very very much

143
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: a collective. We police work with a range of stakeholders

144
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: including crownlands, local town councils, town council ranges Larichia Nation.

145
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: We also work with the transit security, public housing safety

146
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: offices in a range of people that working in that space,

147
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 3: including a very key stakeholder is that private security as well.

148
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: They meet regularly as part of a daily meeting of

149
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: patrol patrollers meeting and then that is also followed up

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: with a more broader operational strategic meeting with the DAL

151
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: and Parnersle Litchfield Coordination group as well, and they actually

152
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: have a look at those particular hotspots. And then that

153
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: is a known hotspot for us in regards to anti

154
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: social behavior, public drinking, but also road safety. So a

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: lot of that is also having a look at those

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: drinking camps. So a lot of people actually are living

157
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: rough around that particular area. So it's about engaging with

158
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: those residents in those areas where they are potentially residing

159
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: with it where they're not authorized to do so, and

160
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: looking at strategies of moving them into support accommodation, back

161
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: to community or any other area which is lawful but

162
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: also reduces the risk of those individuals, but also the

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: risk of the people on that resign in that general

164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: area as well. So that occurs on a daily basis.

165
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I have had people contact us as well

166
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: at the station saying, you know, does Laraki Nations still

167
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: go and sort of pick people up and take them

168
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: back out to community, because I know, even a couple

169
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: of weeks ago it had been raised with me outside

170
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: of the nt News area, there had been people drinking

171
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: there for a few days and it then wound up

172
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: in a situation where it turned into a big brawl outside.

173
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: And a lot of people sort of going will Katie.

174
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: Common sense would tell you that if they're drinking for

175
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: a few days there, inevitably, you know, anybody drinking for

176
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: days outside any location could potentially turn into a bad situation.

177
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: So why aren't people moved on before it gets to

178
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: that point?

179
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: They are, and simply they are.

180
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: They also return, So it's a conversation I suppose engaging

181
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: them in daily Laroche Nation as part of that return

182
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: to country program, which is a funded program through Annitarity

183
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: government as well. People return to country if they wish to.

184
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: It's not a forced.

185
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: Remove out of the greater Darwen area at all.

186
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: It's you know, some people do get stranded within Darwin

187
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: through no fall of their own, so it's an assisted

188
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: program to return back to country. Other people that are

189
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: living rough for a wide variety of reasons. Domestic violence

190
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: is one of those reasons as well. So it's about

191
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: engaging these individual there. Why are they there to start with?

192
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: Can we assist them with a return to country if

193
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: need to? Can we move them to other support accommodation.

194
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: There might be a housing shortage, it might be a

195
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: welfare issue, So it's engaging territory families and housing community

196
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: as well. They have an outreach service that we engage

197
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 3: in that. So it's about that continual engagement with those

198
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: particular individuals to find a safer place for them, but

199
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: also dismantle that particular rough sleeping camp area which is

200
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: not so for them, but also not save for the

201
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: broader community as well.

202
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Commander Andrew has called in to say that apparently there

203
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: was a fully loaded cattle truck with two hundred livestock

204
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,479
Speaker 1: on board burnt to the ground near dun Mara roadhouse

205
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: last night. Police were notified but couldn't respond. The cattle

206
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: is still roaming in that area. Hasn't heard any reports

207
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: on this and also wanting to alert people driving through

208
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the area. Is that on your radar the police radar?

209
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I know it's outside the Darwin region. So possibly not

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: from you.

211
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: It's certainly not on my radar.

212
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: I'm looking after the greater Darn, but certainly from the

213
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: northern perspective, I can engage my counterpart down there and

214
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: find some feative.

215
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: Mate.

216
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what we can find out, but do

217
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: take care to those to anybody out there listening, if

218
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: you are out and about out that way near Dunmarra roadhouse.

219
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: By the sounds of it, from what we are being

220
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: told that there are live stock. There was two hundred

221
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: livestock on board that truck when it was engulfed in flames.

222
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: So we will, we'll see what we can find out

223
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: and we'll wait to hear back. Now Warrick and Catherine

224
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: as well as called through to say that there's public drinking.

225
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: And again I know outside the Darwin region that there's

226
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: public drinking happening at all hours in town and there

227
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be any police or palis outside the

228
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: bottle shops anymore. He reckons crime is flaring up there again,

229
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: any idea what the situation is there in Catherine at the.

230
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: Moment, I can't talk on behalf of the Katherine Northern

231
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: commander down there, but what I can say obviously public

232
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: drinking is a huge issue for particularly urban centers. In

233
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: regards that there's a transitional program for officers that we're

234
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 3: working in the PALI roll for Counsul that they're in

235
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: the college at the moment, they are graduating along with

236
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: another recruit squad Friday next week, right, so there is

237
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: and most particular transitional officers are doing some further training

238
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: but then also being posted back out to community. So

239
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: on a resource level, Friday next week we'll see thirty

240
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: one constables graduate and a lot of those constables will

241
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: ten will remain in DAR and five for Catherine and

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: sixteen for Our Springs. So they'll all be going to

243
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 3: replenish the front line in regards to the officers there,

244
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: which is really positive to see. And then following that,

245
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: you're looking in nineteenth of July, you'll have that transitioning

246
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: officers of thirty three officers graduating and they'll be returning

247
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: to those centers as well being Catherine to Our Springs,

248
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: and so you'll have a number officers I suppose to

249
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: assist both in that PALI role but also to provide

250
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,119
Speaker 3: some more resourcing on the road in regards to addressing

251
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: social order and public drinking. As I sort of indicated

252
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: to your Codian listeners, DV is our driving reported crime

253
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: greater DA And just in the last twenty four hours,

254
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: we had twenty domestic violence related matters we had to

255
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: respond to, and which are quite significant. People talk about it,

256
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: but he crime, We had six unlawful entries in that

257
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: same sort of time period as well. So it is

258
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: a predominant crime that our frontline officers are attending to,

259
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: and that does take away our ability to do a

260
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: lot more of that proactive any social behavior and intervention

261
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: that in that public space. So with the graduation of

262
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: these officers coming up, we're hoping to see a lot

263
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: more officers on the front line that have the ability

264
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: then to also do a lot more proactive work in

265
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: that public drinking space.

266
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is what people want.

267
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Hey, I can't let you go without asking about these

268
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: three men being charged in relation to a large scale

269
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: international drug syndicate that happened late last week. This sounds

270
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: like it was a massive bust.

271
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: It was, and it's removed six kilograms of cocaine and

272
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: five kilograms of methadfitter mean off the streets. As I

273
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: mentioned afford drugs and our cohols, not just our cool

274
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: drugs and our cool significant parts of crime fending in

275
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: the North Territory in Australia, and that's more than worth

276
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: seven million dollars. It was destined for the Darwin market

277
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: that we've just now removed, so through men and aged

278
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: twenty four we were initially apprehending regards to that particular

279
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: matter and then a further apprehension of a twenty eight

280
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: year old mile also took place on the eleventh of

281
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: June where he will also face court as well, and

282
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: he's been remarked to appear on the thirty first of

283
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: July this year.

284
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Well. Commander for the Darwin Region, Danny Bacon, I've asked

285
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: a few questions about other regions as well this morning.

286
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: Thank you as always for speaking with us today. We'll

287
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: talk to you again soon.

288
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: Okak.

289
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: Thank you
