Over the last few weeks we have talked about some of the facets of transnational organised crime, and today's episode will continue to explore these international risks. According to the UK Government, the illicit drugs market is big business, worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year in the UK alone. Globally, over 236.1 million ransomware attacks occurred globally in the first half of 2022. The international drug trade and cybercrime are two independent but interconnected concerns that have emerged in response to the globalised aspect of the modern world. The international drug trade is the illegal trafficking of narcotics and psychoactive substances across borders, facilitated by sophisticated criminal organisations that operate on a global scale. In contrast, cybercrime refers to a wide range of unlawful crimes carried out using digital means, such as hacking, identity theft, and online fraud. While these international risks may appear unconnected, they have some similarities, such as the employment of advanced technology, international networks, and the exploitation of vulnerabilities in global systems. Criminal organisations involved in the drug trade frequently use cyber tools to communicate, launder money, and evade law enforcement. Additionally, the dark web serves as a platform for both drug trafficking and various forms of cybercrime. The intertwining of these illicit activities poses complex challenges for international law enforcement and requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach to address these risks. In order to help us unpack these two vast networks of transnational organised crime, and their potential intersections, we are thrilled to be joined by Dr Christopher Allen. Dr. Chris Allen is a researcher, lecturer, consultant and commentator specialising in organised crime and how it operates. He has significant experience in lecturing on drug trafficking, cybercrime, human trafficking and firearms trafficking, among other subjects. He is currently Senior Police Practice Tutor at Buckinghamshire New University, where he has responsibility for the Evidence Based Research projects. undertaken by officers and is leading a joint research project on the scope for a data harmonisation approach to international organised crime investigation with the Police Foundation. He is also Honorary Research Fellow at the Buckingham University Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies. Chrits is the Senior Lecturer and Consultant of the London Policing College. Chris is also the creator of the U BATTLE toolkit, an investigative strategy development tool that began under City of London Police in 2018 and since then has gained national and international recognition. U BATTLE uses the adapted versions of traditional business analysis techniques to improve the development of investigative strategies in order to dismantle organised crime groups. Furthermore, he is a member of the Society for Evidence Based Policing, the European Political Research Consortium Standing Group on Organised Crime and the International Association for the Study of Organised Crime.

This week, we dig into the pre-trial hearings and jury selection for Ayla King, Stop Cop City movement's first and only co-defendant so far to be granted a speedy trial. We're joined by Silver, an on-the-ground correspondent among many in Atlanta focused on supporting the collective defense against the State of Georgia's RICO indictment. Stay tuned for future coverage of the trials as they unfold. We will be focusing on the pretrial proceedings of defendant Ayla King, who has bravely flexed their right to a speedy trial and whose case we will be following more in-depth when opening arguments begin on January 10th. To help us unpack some of the media and legal intricacies in this case we will hear from Jewel, a North Carolina based lawyer (member of NLG Mass Defense) followed by an interview with Matt from Atlanta Community Press Collective. Jewel will help us understand some of the strategy of exercising a right to speedy trial while Matt will speak as one of the only members of local media to actively cover jury selection. First, some background to this case for listeners less familiar: On August 29th the State of Georgia filed an indictment against 61 people in the movement to Stop Cop City and defend Weelaunee people's park. The state alleges that music festival attendees and protestors engaged in racketeering, domestic terrorism, arson and money laundering-- all as part of a so called mob conspiracy to halt construction of the massively unpopular expansion of police traning grounds in Southeast Atlanta-- also known as Cop City. This indictment follows a years-long, powerful and popular struggle against the city of Atlanta and their Police Foundation's attempts to build the 90 million dollar training grounds. The expansion of this site not only follows the widespread anti-police movements of 2020 but further bolsters US backed military training such the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (aka GILEE) - a direct exhange program between Atlanta police and the Israeli Occupational Forces, who are currently waging genocide in the occupied Gaza strip of Palestine. We have experienced the unrelenting and escalating criminal charges (such as domestic terrorism charges for so called trespassing on public land, racketeering charges for mutual aid), raids of collective organizing and healing spaces, and even the assassination of a beloved comrade, Tortuguita. Not only have these atrocities failed to stop the movement against Cop City, but they have inspired renewed resistance and solidarity from across the country and across the world.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Dec 17th Publish Date: Dec 15th HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Sunday, December 17th and Happy 76th Birthday to actor Eugene Levy. ***12.17.23 – BIRTHDAY – EUGENE LEVY*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties. Gwinnett Police Foundation Hosting Fundraiser for Injured Officer Jackson EMC Foundation awards $72K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents And Woman becomes oldest person in the world to receive a bionic arm at 84 All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Peggy Slappy STORY 1: Gwinnett Police Foundation Hosting Fundraiser For Injured Officer The Gwinnett Police Foundation is organizing a fundraiser to support Officer Daniel Ortega, who was severely injured in a head-on collision with an impaired driver. The incident occurred on August 9, and Officer Ortega, who suffered extensive leg and foot injuries, has undergone surgery and months of physical therapy without being able to return to work. The fundraiser, taking place at Wild Wing Cafe in Dacula, aims to assist Officer Ortega and his family, providing financial support during his healing process. Donations can be made in person or through the Gwinnett Police Foundation's website. STORY 2: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $72K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation board awarded $114,500 in grants during its recent meeting, with $72,000 allocated to organizations serving Gwinnett County. Recipients include Peachtree Christian Health for its Caregiving Financial Assistance Program, St. Vincent de Paul Society in Flowery Branch and Lawrenceville for housing assistance, CHRIS 180 for its Gwinnett Counseling Center, Athens Parent Wellbeing for mental health support, Joshua's Voice for Autism Spectrum and Sensory Processing Disorder Awareness, Training, and Tools, and Tiny Stiches for layettes to help infants in need. The grants are funded by cooperative members participating in the Operation Round Up program. Applications for Foundation grants are open to individuals and organizations in the 10 counties served by Jackson EMC. STORY 3: Woman becomes oldest person in the world to receive a bionic arm at 84 Christa Seubert, an 84-year-old grandmother from Germany, has become the world's oldest person to be fitted with a bionic arm after losing her limb to cancer. Initially mistaking her discomfort for a blocked carpal tunnel, Christa underwent two operations, but her hand became inflamed. Diagnosed with aggressive cancer, chemotherapy failed, leading to the amputation of her arm. Struggling to regain independence, she was fitted with a Hero Arm by UK-based Open Bionics. The 3D-printed bionic arm uses myoelectric sensors to detect muscular contractions, enabling intuitive hand movements. Christa expressed joy at regaining abilities like buttering bread independently. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: MOG – TOM WAGES – INGLES 7 STORY 4: Boy shaves his head so his sister with cancer wouldn't feel alone Five-year-old Milo Woolard shaved his head to support his two-year-old sister, Zella, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. Zella's mother, Rachel, initially took her to the doctor for sleeping and vision issues, but Zella was quickly diagnosed, and chemotherapy caused her to lose her hair. In support, Milo and his grandmother, Sue Goodjohn, shaved their heads to raise funds for charity Neuroblastoma UK. Both Milo and Sue's head-shaving event took place on Sue's 56th birthday, December 1st, raising a considerable amount for the charity. STORY 5: Inactive kids more likely to have stroke or heart attack later in life A new study warns that children who lead sedentary lifestyles may face a higher risk of stroke or heart attack in adulthood. Researchers found that physically inactive children might develop high cholesterol in early adulthood, leading to heart health issues in their mid-forties. Sedentary time in childhood was linked to a significant increase in cholesterol levels before the mid-twenties, suggesting it could be a major risk factor for premature heart attacks or strokes. The study also revealed that light-intensity physical activity in childhood may be more effective than moderate-to-vigorous activity in reversing the adverse effects of sedentary time on cholesterol. We'll be back in a moment Break 3: ESOG – GLOW LIGHT SHOW STORY 6: Georgia Home Prices Increased 141% Over the Last Decade, 4th Largest Increase in U.S.Over the past decade, U.S. home values have surged by over 100%, outpacing the growth in average hourly earnings (41%) and the Consumer Price Index (32%). While the COVID-19 recession led to an unprecedented 49% national increase in home prices from 2020 to 2022, prices have stabilized, aligning the recovery more closely with historical norms. Western states and select Southeastern states, particularly Idaho and Florida, experienced the most substantial home price growth. Florida cities, such as Miami Gardens, saw remarkable surges, with median home prices increasing by over 200%, twice the national average, over the past decade. STORY 7: Buford Dam Road to have temporary closures Dec. 18-21 Buford Dam Road will be closed between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Monday, Dec. 18, through Thursday, Dec. 21, for guard rail maintenance, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Corps advises using Georgia Hwy. 20 as an alternate route. For more information, contact the Lake Sidney Lanier Project Management Office at 770-945-9531 or visit the official Lake Sidney Lanier Facebook page. We'll have final thoughts after this.

In this episode, I speak with 3 activists working to STOP COP CITY – a highly militarized police training facility that would pave over one of the largest remaining forests in Atlanta. These 3 are part of a broad coalition of activists without centralized leadership who have come together to resist this development and defend the Atlanta Forest. Days after we recorded this episode, fellow activist and forest defender Tortuguita was shot and killed by the police during a massive raid. Calls for an independent investigation into this killing have been growing, as the version of events publicized by the police seems highly questionable. 7 more activists were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.Cop City would be located right next to black and brown working class neighborhoods in Atlanta. These communities would be subjected to increased police harassment as well as the environmental consequences of destroying the forest: poorer air quality, hotter summers, and less protection from flooding. This $90 million military-grade urban warfare training center would be the largest facility of its kind in America. It would have a testing area for explosives, 12 firing ranges, a helicopter landing pad, and a center for practicing crowd control. In addition to boosting police morale and recruitment in the wake of the 2020 uprising, Cop City would serve a much more sinister function: to expand the police state and crush movement building in America and around the globe.In addition to exposing the fundamental connection between capitalism and policing, this episode examines the legacy of racial oppression that Cop City would inherit. We discuss the theft of this land from the Muscogee people as well as its use as a slave plantation and prison farm. We also address the important role that Indigenous and Queer activists have played within this movement.CALLS TO ACTION:*DONATE to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to support legal costs *Call Atlanta Police Foundation investors, ask them to divest from Cop City (stopreevesyoung.com) *Form an action committee in your city!*GO TO THE PARK IN SOLIDARITY!

The thin blue line is getting thinner and less effective. When chief constables have to assure the public they WILL turn up for reported burglaries, something has gone badly wrong. Are the police in tune with the society they protect? Did something change when they were given huge new powers during COVID? Are they racist? Are they misogynist? Are they too busy taking the knee or monitoring online offensiveness to actually police real crime? Phil and Roger hear from Dr Rick Muir, director of the Police Foundation that what's needed is more resources and a recognition that officers can only be a sticking-plaster on society's deeper problems Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Episode 8 of Season 2, 'Year of the Tiger'. The ever-eloquent Simon Foy QPM has kindly provided more of his time, delayed his train, and shared his thoughts in this episode, as our paths cross once more delivering training in London. This time, the former Met Police Commander provides a detailed review, constructive critique, and discusses the implications of the recent Police Foundation 'Strategic Review of Policing' report. This report is one I recently summarised on my YouTube channel for police officers (described by the Police Foundation themselves as "an excellent summary"). Simon emphasises the report's significance: "Anyone with an interest in policing should read it... for anybody with any sort of leadership responsibility in policing, it's compulsory." Listen to the range of recommendations Simon both praises and baulks at. He in turn specifically provides guidance to promotion candidates, puts the report in context of the wider policing landscape, and gives food for thought for your preparation for leadership success. Fear not: the controversial subjects (e.g. 'license to practice', centralisation of policing roles, police recruitment entry routes) are also covered! I particularly also liked the turn of phrase, "intellectual horsepower isn't everything". I once again thank Simon for delaying his train to share his time and thoughts. I believe it provides a great insight for future police leaders to hear first hand the perspective of current and former senior leaders, particularly those who remain engaged with policing after retirement. I welcome other senior and Chief Officers (current or former) to share views on policing and leadership on my platform. If you'd like to join me for an interview, please feel free to call (07581 299532) or email (steve@ranksuccess.co.uk) to arrange the most convenient logistics for you.

Patrick Burke on the toughest thing he ever had to do in his career ~ "Tell somebody that their child or their husband or wife or a loved one wasn't coming home because of a traffic fatality. And that's 100% preventable. It still is, these incidents, and there's so much more we can continue to do to make sure that people aren't drunk driving or paying attention to what they're doing on the roads." Patrick Burke - Executive Director Washington DC Police Foundation and host Andy Ockershausen during in-studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen. This is Our Town. I'm so, so, so happy for a lot of reasons to welcome a very important man in the city of Washington and Our Town, a public servant. I mean, he has been in the police department or connected with it for 27 years on the force. But even since he left the force he's been still in law enforcement. He's just a terrific guy, an important part of Our Town, and a member of the ... He was [sic] the Executive Director at the Washington DC Police Foundation. Pat Burke, welcome to Our Town. Patrick Burke: Thanks, Andy. Good to be here. Andy Ockershausen: You have been amazing to me in all the things I've seen you do over the years. I remember you in uniform, I remember when you started wearing neckties like the rest of us. Now, none of us wear ties anymore, Pat. Isn't that great? Patrick Burke: It is great. It's nice to not have to worry about that every day. Andy Ockershausen: But you always dressed like $1 million, and you had that clean white shirt. and I wouldn't say this unless she was here. I would have loved to have Cathy Lanier. I know you worked close with Cathy. She was such a big, important part of Our Town because of what she did. Patrick Burke: And she's back in town pretty regularly. Her mom still lives out in Maryland, so ... Andy Ockershausen: She had a house in Maryland, I know. Patrick Burke: She still does, so she's still back in town pretty regularly, and she'll actually be at an event in December back in DC. So glad to hear she's doing well with the NFL, and we're glad to have Chief Newsham here, as well. Andy Ockershausen: Well, Cherrie Doggett is having a cocktail Christmas party, and I'm sure she's invited. Cathy was always there, and we got to know her through Bud, as we got to know the police department. But Pat, you're a New Yorker. Not from Buffalo, but from Rochester. Patrick Burke Hails from Rochester, New York Patrick Burke: As I tell my wife, who's from New York, New York I'm from the real part of New York, Western New York. And most of my family is still Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse. But I have to say, as much as I love them, there's six inches of snow right now in Rochester, and I'll see my mom and dad in the spring. Andy Ockershausen: Yeah, but it'll be gone by July. Patrick Burke: By usually March. I remember Lake Ontario was frozen through St. Patrick's day. Andy Ockershausen: Yeah, they close the lakes off, and everything up there was frozen. But Pat, how did you end up in the police department? You went to school in New York in the State University of New York? In 1989, Burke Chose DC Police Department over Law School Patrick Burke: Yep, I did my undergrad at University of Buffalo, started grad school up there, actually came down to look at American University in DC, law school, and one of my good buddies was working vice for the second district. They said, "Pat, save money. Join the PD." It was the height of the crack epidemic in 1989, so he said, "Come on down and save some money." So I joined the police department. I fell in love with it, and 27 years later I woke up and I had a great career, and my last nine as Assistant Chief. Andy Ockershausen: Well, it's not over. You've still got a great career. But what you're doing is great for the police department and great for Washington PD, but your wife, you say from the other New York, she's a New Yorker? A Long Islander?

“If a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired, all the rest of the windows will soon be broken.” So says the broken windows theory, introduced by George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson in 1982, and widely adopted in law enforcement circles. Though the theory was created with crime in mind, it has been adopted by many industries and vocations, including online community. I have seen it come up numerous times in our industry and, in talking with other veterans of the space, we’ve been applying it for quite a while. Broken windows policing has plenty of critics and defenders. Depending on who you talk to, it has either contributed to the reduction crime or served as an enabler of oppressive policing (or both). Dr. Kelling argues that zealotry and poor implementation are the problem, and that leniency and discretion, both vital to good community policing, have been lost in the shuffle. He boils the theory down to the “simple idea of small things matter.” Plus: What he would change about the original 1982 introduction of broken windows How discretion and leniency factor into the application of laws The misapplication of social science and theories Big Quotes “As we moved policing into cars, we changed the very nature of American policing without realizing it. Up until then, police on the beat were there to prevent crime. They were preventive officers. Once we put police in cars, the mission changed from policing to law enforcement, and that is responding after something happens. Even police doing policing, foot patrol and other kinds of interactions with the community are, at times, going to do law enforcement, but law enforcement is something that police ought to be doing just on occasion, rather than characterizing their entire role.” -@gkelling “[When people say,] ‘We’re going to take police out of cars and, tomorrow, they’re going to do broken windows,’ that doesn’t take into account the whole negotiation process about what are the standards for this community. This is a discretionary issue, it doesn’t matter what the neighborhood is, you’re going to have different standards of behavior that people are comfortable with. Some neighborhoods are very comfortable with high levels of disorder.” -@gkelling “Even when behavior isn’t illegal but it’s bothersome in the community, it seems to me an officer can play a mediating role and say, ‘Hey, come on. Knock it off. You know that you’re annoying these people. That’s not necessary.’ Part of it is, what we lost touch with is the ancient Anglo-Saxon tradition of persuading people to behave. From the very beginning, if you look at Sir Robert Peel’s principles, the whole idea was to persuade people to behave, rather than necessarily confronting them or arresting them.” -@gkelling “There comes a point where you cut people short. Enough is enough, you have to stop here. Leniency is a disservice to this person as well as a disservice to the community. On the other hand, when we’re talking about minor offenders, if we start giving citations or making arrests or giving traffic tickets, just for the purpose of statistics or [for] quotas in police departments. That, it seems to me, gets away from the idea of broken windows, almost totally, because it takes away the idea of discretion. You’re arresting or taking other actions, not because you think it’s the best thing to do, but that it’s considered to be a bureaucratic good. One has to be very careful with that.” -@gkelling “Just think if your accountability structure [in your online community] was such that you’re rewarded for the number of people that you kicked off. In some respects, that’s happened in areas of policing. Arrest has become a sign of productivity. Well, maybe at times, it is. Maybe at other times, it means just the opposite; that a lot of inappropriate authority is being used.” -@gkelling “The ultimate measure [of successful policing] is the lack of crime and the support of the community. Those are the ultimate measures. Measuring those is very, very hard; very, very difficult. When we enshrine arrest as a sign of an officer’s productivity, rather than ‘Did the officers solve problems?,’ that means we haven’t found effective methods yet to [measure] department wide measures of solving problems as against just law enforcement. I don’t want to back away from law enforcement as a means of solving problems because, at times, you use it, but it seems to me there are myriad of other ways to solve problems.” -@gkelling “Zero tolerance implies a zealotry that I think ought not to characterize policing. It denies discretion.” -@gkelling About George L. Kelling George L. Kelling is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University and a fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Kelling has practiced social work as a child care worker and as a probation officer and has administered residential care programs for aggressive and disturbed youth. In 1972, he began work at the Police Foundation and conducted several large-scale experiments in policing—notably, the Kansas City Preventive Patrol Experiment and the Newark Foot Patrol Experiment. The latter was the source of his contribution, with James Q. Wilson, to his most familiar essay in The Atlantic, “Broken Windows.” During the late 1980s, Kelling developed the order-maintenance policies in the New York City subway that ultimately led to radical crime reductions. Later, he consulted with the New York City Police Department in dealing with, among others, “squeegee men.” Kelling is coauthor, with his wife, Catherine M. Coles, of “Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our Communities” (1998). He holds a B.A. from St. Olaf College, an M.S.W. from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

An Interview with criminologist Dr. Kim Rossmo, whose pioneer work lead to the creation of the field of geographic profiling. Rossmo joined the Vancouver Police Department as a civilian employee in 1978 and became a sworn officer in 1980. In 1987 he received a master's degree in criminology from Simon Fraser University and in 1995 became the first police officer in Canada to obtain a doctorate in criminology. His dissertation research resulted in a new criminal investigative methodology called geographic profiling. In 1995, he was promoted to detective inspector and founded a geographic profiling section within the Vancouver Police Department. In 1998, his analysis of cases of missing sex trade workers determined that a serial killer was at work, a conclusion ultimately vindicated by the arrest and conviction of Robert Pickton in 2002. A retired Vancouver police staff sergeant has claimed that animosity toward Rossmo delayed the arrest of Pickton, leaving him free to carry out additional murders. His analytic results were not accepted at the time and after a dispute with senior members of the department he left in 2001. His unsuccessful lawsuit against the Vancouver Police Board for wrongful dismissal exposed considerable apparent dysfunction within that department. After serving as director of research at the Police Foundation in Washington, DC, from 2001 to 2003, he moved to Texas State University where he currently holds the Endowed Chair in Criminology and is director of the Center for Geospatial Intelligence and Investigation. Since then, he has applied techniques of geographic profiling to counterterrorism, animal foraging, and epidemiology. He has also researched and published on the subject of criminal investigative failures. He has written three books. At the conclusion of this interview Kim very kindly wrote, "I just wanted to tell you that I have done a lot of interviews over the years and your questions today were really good. I could tell you put a lot of thought and planning into this."
