The Bridge Street Burglary

Policing Australia: The Official Podcast of the Australian Police Journal

The feature interview this episode is with the author of the article ‘The Bridge Street Burglary of 1894: The Arming of the NSW Police’. The crime was so serious it resulted in the colonial government of the day deciding to issue firearms to all its police. The author, retired Sergeant Danny Webster, also talks about his ground-breaking work chronicling the duty related deaths of NSW police. APJ editor Pat Paroz also gives an overview of the articles in the latest issue of the APJ, including four award winning articles available at www.apjl.com.au
