    Nice to see that our borders aren't porous at all! Just to summarise, she was 31 years old, been living in Australia since she was 1 year old, never taken up Australian citizenship and deported because she was 'not of good character' because she was a habitual criminal! How'd you like to be able to do THAT in the UK? http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/864843/one-woman-crime-wave-deported-to-nz 'One woman crime wave' deported to NZ A New Zealand-born woman, dubbed a one woman crime wave after committing dozens of offences across Sydney, has been deported back to her homeland.

    http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26122774-5005962,00.html Man wielding scissors disarmed by cop AN off-duty policeman has disarmed one of two men he saw robbing a convenience store in Melbourne's west last night. The off-duty constable had pulled into the store in Alexander Road, Ascot Vale, around 11pm (AEST) where he saw two men leaving waving a pair of scissors. He identified himself as a policeman and after a short struggle disarmed the armed man while the second offender escaped on foot.

    I am looking to join the QPS as soon as it is possible for me to do so. I am working on finishing my diploma to meet the Educational requirements, and a few other medical assessments. I am just wondering how much merit the volunter work has on the application. Im working full time at a very demanding job, as well as studying via open learning, so my time is kind of stretched as it is. However if it makes a large difference i will have to mak arrangements to try and manage my time slightly better. Any feedback on the general recruitment process would also be really helpful. Thanks in advance, John.

    Hi all We are looking to move to QLD in 2010 and as I don't have a degree I am going to have to do either a IV certificate or diploma so that I can apply for the QLD police. Ideally I would like to do the course whilst I am in the uk so that as soon as we land I can crack on with the application.But I am having trouble finding a provider that will allow me to do a course long distance. Is there anyone out there that has had the same problem and managed to find a way? Many thanks JOHN mr luvpants2008-11-07 09:48:32

    I found the contents of this article about the "unpolular Mall Cops" a thought provoking one, for today's times. They actually know and see a lot and many take a real pride in what they do. I must admit that we all enjoyed "Paul Blart, MallCop", which we saw the other day. Obviously others did too! http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/media/quit-bustin-mall-cops-chops/#

    In some of the 2008/2009 crisis situations, that are confronting us all over the world...riot gear, high tech, and full "battle gear" often prominently feature. But there often is the "upping the stakes" factor ,(overkill) and perceptions & reaction of "target" groups.. Possibly a risk of becoming an escalating factor. too. The following link illustrates how missiles and heavy armaments may not be the right tools for resolving this modern situation....A problem involving 4 armed Somali pirates and a brave American Cargo ship Captain in a small lifeboat, on a very large ocean. Allegedly the Pirates have called for help from cohorts in other seized…
