A Force Under Question
Notas do episódio
Allegations involving former Tasmanian police officer Paul Reynolds. A current officer is now before the courts. And a 15-year-old child exploitation scandal where police officers were allegedly linked by phone calls.
In this episode, we look at three separate matters across different time periods and ask whether they raise deeper systemic questions inside Tasmania Police.
This is not about saying every case is connected. It is about asking what happens when serious allegations involve the very institution trusted to investigate them and whether the public has ever been given enough answers.
Disclaimer: This episode discusses allegations of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Some matters mentioned remain before the courts, and all accused persons are entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.
