Whilst Melbourne was under siege during the Gangland Wars, and bushfires wreaked havoc across Victoria, those at the top of Vic Pol were forced to front the media and take responsibility for the intensity surrounding the city.

Sandra joined the service in 1975, and rose through the ranks until her retirement almost 40 years later. Brent Sanders chats with Sandra as she reflects on her career, and the high stakes work that took her from Social Service in NSW, to the second highest-ranking female officer in the history of Victoria Police.

The psychology of this policing is like no other, and requires a particular set of skills. For Anthony Macklin, it suited his attention to detail and unrelenting work ethic. He was dedicated to his work, and to the force. But, when bureaucracy and the decisions of those above him meant an offender slipped through the net - he had to rethink his career. Anthony Macklin is a former Detective Inspector in the NSW Police. He worked tirelessly in the force, and took on several high ranking positions across a number of stations. Now, he works alongside former Crime Insiders guest, Danny Mikati, as a private investigator. Join host Brent Sanders as he unpacks Anthony's career and gets to know the man behind the badge.

Concerns have been raised after a group of police took a self-funded "cultural competency" trip to China in October. Police Assistant Commissioner Sam Hoyle spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

10 years ago, Sydney came to a standstill. A lone gunman took 18 hostages captive inside the Lindt Café, some of whom escaped, others were trapped for 16 harrowing hours. The siege ended in the deaths of two innocent people—Tori Johnson, executed by the terrorist, and Katrina Dawson, struck by a ricochet from a police bullet when the Tactical Operations Unit stormed the building. In the aftermath, public outrage boiled over as the government and police were heavily criticised for their handling of the crisis. So what really happened behind the scenes? In this episode, hear two firsthand accounts from those who lived it. Crime Insiders is hosted by Brent Sanders and Kathryn Fox. Guests in this episode include Danny Mikati and Chris Craner.

The public are already reporting gang patch sightings a day after the ban began. New Police powers let officers disperse gatherings, and gang insignia is banned in public. More than a dozen gang members have already been arrested under the new law - including an Auckland Head Hunters leader. Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham told Heather du Plessis-Allan they're being informed about breaches in multiple ways. “We've said that when this sort of stuff comes through, we'll follow it up as quickly as we can, and today's search warrant is a case in point where something was reported in the early hours after the law came into affect.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Assistant Commissioner of police says he's confident officers are ready to enforce the ban on gang patches. Bill Hickman has more.

Police units around the country will be taking a proactive approach to the Government's new gang patch ban. Patches and insignia will be banned in public places from Thursday next week. Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham says Police have been speaking with gang leaders, and have made it clear that anyone breaching the law can expect a response. He told Mike Hosking that dedicated units will respond to reports of law-breaking, gather intelligence, and work with other branches of Police. He says they'll also take opportunities to reduce the ability of gangs to operate, and cause fear and intimidation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Auckland police boss says gangs play a big part in gun crime – but it's not just gangs.

Just 18 of those were committed by people with a firearms licence. Police Assistant Commissioner for Auckland Sam Hoyle told Mike Hosking that covers everything around gun offending.

A police college based in Auckland could be on the cards. New intakes at the Porirua college will be bolstered next year by 20 recruits each wing to reach 100 trainees. By late August, applications had overtaken 5,500 - more than double the number for the same period last year. But Assistant Commissioner Jill Rogers says the Porirua facility is already groaning at the seams. "It makes sense for us to look in that Tāmaki Makaurau environment, because that's where the bulk of our people will come from. I think it's a good, sensible decision for us to start looking around there." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Police say a recent spate of homicides appear to be down to the usual issues of organised crime, gangs and family harm.   Since the start of August, Police have launched 11 homicide investigations.   One has since been deemed not a homicide and has been referred to the coroner.   Police Assistant Commissioner for Auckland and Northland Sam Hoyle told Mike Hosking it's very rare someone is murdered by a complete stranger.  “There's relationships – whether they're through organised crime, familial relationships, neighbours – it is almost unheard of where a complete stranger is killed in a New Zealand context.”  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"When I signed up to the police my friends said, 'Why on earth are you joining a corrupt and racist organisation?'" Neil Basu joined the police force as uniformed officer in 1992. He rose through the ranks to become an assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in 2015, a role he held until 2021. Alongside this, he served as the UK's head of counter terrorism policing and Met assistant commissioner of specialist operations, working closely with MI5. During that time, he led investigations into 12 terror attacks, foiled 29 plots and charged three Russian state assassins in connection with the Salisbury Novichok poisonings. In this rare and candid conversation, Neil doesn't hold back. He talks about the racism he's faced, the barriers he's had to break down and the tough leadership lessons he's learned throughout his career. But perhaps most powerfully, he explains why he firmly believes the Metropolitan Police is institutionally racist and why police chiefs must acknowledge it and apologise.

How can district and state leaders identify signs of school distress long before they are designated as in need of improvement by state accountability systems? In 2020, WestEd partnered with the National Charter School Resource Center (NCSRC) to develop and conduct a portfolio of  research (listed below) that identified signs of early distress in schools, or "indicators of distress," and described an approach to support school improvement efforts. When states and education decision-makers wanted to take the work further into implementation, what emerged is WestEd's Indicators of Distress, an evidence-based early detection system that can help charter and traditional schools meet and surpass accountability standards while fostering positive learning experiences for students. In this episode of the Leading Voices podcast, host Danny Torres talks with Aimee Evan, Senior Research Associate and School Improvement Specialist with the School Choice team at WestEd and co-author of the NCSRC reports, and two state education agency leaders, John Carwell Jr., Education Associate at the Delaware Department of Education, and David Frank, Chief of Staff and Assistant Commissioner, Education Policy, at the New York State Education Department. They discuss the Indicators of Distress approach and how the Delaware Department of Education and the New York State Education Department worked with WestEd to identify needed systemic improvements and implement processes and procedures that helped lead to sustained success. Their conversation covers the following topics: Implementing the Indicators of Distress approach in Delaware and New York Using data to inform decision-making Building a reliable model for school improvement Resources Mentioned in this Episode Indicators of Distress (Webpage) Indicators of Distress: A Proactive Approach to Identifying and Supporting Schools in Need of Improvement (Blog) Identifying Indicators of Distress in Charter Schools: Part 1 – The Role and Perspective of Charter School Authorizers (PDF) Identifying Indicators of Distress in Charter Schools, Part 2: The Roles and Perspectives of Charter School Leaders and Board Members (PDF) Identifying Indicators of Distress in Charter Schools: Tools to Support Authorizer Data Collection (PDF)

EGM's Book The Sentimental State. Episode #3 of 4. In 1923, Zitkala-Ša, a Dakota woman, wrote an unpublished essay titled "Our Sioux People," tracing the U.S. government's relationship with the tribe. She described a scene where delegates from the Pine Ridge reservation met with Mr. E. B. Merritt of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, DC. Zitkala-Ša quoted: "through all the pathos of their sad story, the sight of thier gaunt faces, their cheap and shabby civilian clothes which bespoke their poverty more than words, Mr. E. B. Merritt, Assistant Commissioner sat unmoved in his luxurious office, where walls were hung with bright colored paintings of primitive Indian folk and their teepees." Zitkala-Ša's complex political writing and activism added American Indian perspectives to women's political activism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We do this episode in honor of Elizabeth's new book, The Sentimental State: How Women-Led Reform Built the American Welfare State.
