It is really difficult.
Why are we having such difficulty in recruiting good people in today's world?
I'm not quite sure.
But a lot of agencies are like that.
I think, you know, if you look at health, look at fire.
And I think, Matt, throw in what we've been sort of discussing at times during this podcast, the external bodies, the oversight bodies.
And even within our own agency, within policing itself, I used to get annoyed with commanders.
I used to say to them, do not manage your staff through the complaint management system.
It used to piss me off no end, but they would.
You know, they'd target an individual and, you know, the complaint sort of process gave them the opportunity to get them moving on out of their command or out of the police.
I used to sit on the commissioner's panel for 181Ds.
So loss of confidence in a police officer.
Yep.
So there was a number of us, a number of assistant commissioners, along with legal, would sit and look at a case-by-case situation on individuals that would come before that panel and
That should be considered for demotions or, you know, a managerial transfer or, to the highest degree, put up to the commissioner for loss of police commissioner's confidence.
And time and time again, I would see a commander come in and speak about that officer who was before the panel and say, all right, you know, they did A, B and C, which accounts to, you know, this level of managerial action or dismissal from New South Wales Police.
First thing I'd always ask them is where was your sergeant or where was your inspector supporting that constable to make sure that, one, they were doing the right thing, but, two, if that constable had made an error in judgment.
Retraining.
Yeah.
When could it have been rectified?
