Bill Bratton was the godfather of creating, I think, the OCR system.
So they'd hold...
their commander's accountable for crime and so forth, what was occurring in their local areas and what are you doing about it.
And if their performance wasn't up to speed, back then, like my commander, who I remember going down to one of those OCRs,
And he was sweating.
He was just a lather of sweat, the poor bugger.
He was just a nervous wreck because Peter Ryan would get about them and really sort of, you know, threaten them with, well, you know, either performance improves or your time in the cops, you know, coming to an end.
So it was pretty rugged stuff back then.
So I was brought to Sydney to do a restructure of that system.
At the same time, restructure like performance and accountability within the New South Wales Police.
So I set about with the team there and it was, like I said, it was funny because I'd never worked in corporate before.
I thought, you know what, I'm an operational cop.

And this squad, well, I wouldn't call them a squad.
They were a unit.
The work that they were doing was going to require just reams of time and paper by local commands, you know, doing nothing but reporting back to Sydney for politics in regards to crime trends and what was occurring and so forth.
It was just out of control.
You talk about bureaucracy.
Yeah.
It potentially was out of control.
