Kings Cross Police, Redfern Strike Force expose a pattern of crime in Woolloomooloo

Police search warrant for the underground bank of the alleged Nomads in the heart of Kings Cross will expose this system in crime.


Police officer of the year from Woolloomooloo and the drugs working out of Woolloomooloo is still a pattern from the Wood's Royal Commission days.....  Can't you smell a rat?  I can



Three charged, drugs and cash seized after search warrants across inner Sydney

Friday, 20 November 2015 04:46:44 AM
Editor’s note: Footage and stills of yesterday’s operation will be distributed via Hightail link when available. They will also be uploaded to NSW Police Force Facebook page.
Police have arrested three people and seized drugs, believed to be heroin and cocaine, and cash following extensive investigations into an alleged drug syndicate operating out of the Kings Cross area.
Officers will allege the group supplied prohibited drugs at least 328 times between 7 October and 14 November, mainly in the Woolloomooloo area.
The drugs allegedly supplied include heroin and cocaine, and were mostly supplied to those from a low socio-economic background.
Yesterday (Thursday 19 November 2015), police from the Kings Cross Drug Unit, with the assistance of the Redfern Drug Unit executed search warrants at Waterloo, Bondi and Woolloomooloo. At the Bondi address, cash was allegedly located in a bedroom being used by a teenager.
A 42-year-old man and two women, aged 38 and 54, were arrested after a hire car was stopped in Missenden Road at Newtown.
All three were charged with ongoing supply of a prohibited drug and participation in a criminal group.
A 42-year-old Bondi man was also charged with dealing with the proceeds of crime.
They were refused bail and will all appear in Central Local Court today (Friday 20 November 2015).
Inquiries are still continuing into the alleged drug supply in the Woolloomooloo area.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/ Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Royal Commission required to Australian Federal Police

The AFP has never had a Royal Commission and it needs to happen because many of the issues that permeate the state and territory police forces have often been found to involve members of the AFP. You just need to read the transcripts of the Wood Royal Commission to gain an understanding of the degree to which members of the AFP are involved in, or have been involved in, corrupt activities.
People like Mark Standen, former Assistant Director of the NSW Crime Commission who is currently in gaol are products of the culture that existed for many years in the AFP.
There are many many examples of why such a Royal Commission is needed, not the least of which is the fact that there are many decent members and former members of the AFP who would dearly like to be able to say they serve or served in the AFP and to do so with a degree of honour instead of embarrassment.

Police Ingretity Commission

This was formed by Judge Wood's recommendation after the Wood's Royal Commission to expose the corruption which had happened back through time in Kings Cross and how the blind eye happened.

I found this blind eye in 2011.

I reported the evidence to the Police Ingretity Commission to Icac and further to the Ombudsman where my email address was blocked.

When the great cow Moloch is found, when are we all going to ask the recommendations after the Wood's Royal Commission actually have aided and abetted this drug network.

2001 
FebruaryQSARP, a wide-ranging audit of the NSW Police Service, is released. It is critical of the reform process saying that although "some real progress had been achieved" it was "systematically limited", fragmented, patchy, slow and in some areas had come to a halt. It disagrees with NSW Police Commissioner Peter Ryan's view that reform is near completion and criticises Ryan for a vision "which does not address the key themes developed in the recommendations of the Royal Commission". Ryan rejects the report saying it is 12 months old and narrow in focus.

 NSW Premier Bob Carr rebukes police leadership saying they had taken their eye off the ball in dealing with drug-related violent crime in Cabramatta.
 The report of the Upper House Inquiry is released. It finds deficiencies in policing in Cabramatta are a direct result of the police service's failure to communicate with locals and the senior officers' failure to listen to front-line officers. It finds buck passing, mismanagement and low morale in front line officers and that drug related crimes ran out of control while the service instructed officers to focus on keeping crime statistics and normal suburban crime.
AugustTapes played at the Police Integrity Commission show Inspector Robert Menzies received confidential information about prospective questions from Senior Constable Graham Kel after the latter's interview for sergeant and before Menzies' interview for duty officer.

NSW Model of Ombudsman role linking to Wood's Royal Commission outcomes

NEW SOUTH WALES
8.1 In New South Wales, the Independent Commission Against Corruption
Act 1988 created the Independent Commission Against Corruption
(ICAC). This Act provided the ICAC with powers and discretion to:
(a) expose corruption through investigations, which can include
public hearings;
(b) prevent corruption by giving advice and developing
resistance to corrupt practices in public sector organisations;
and
(c) educate the public sector and the community about
corruption and the role of the ICAC.
8.2 The ICAC is a public authority, but it is independent of the
Government of the day. It has an accountability relationship with the
New South Wales Parliament. Given the evidence gathered during
the Wood Royal Commission, it would appear evident that the ICAC
was not fully effective in carrying out its functions in relation to police
corruption.
8.3 The Police Integrity Commission (PIC) was established in 1996 upon
the recommendation of the Wood Royal Commission and took over
responsibility for dealing with police corruption which had
previously been held by the ICAC.
8.4 The PIC is also an independent body, coming within the portfolio of
the Minister for Police and being monitored by a Parliamentary Joint
PAGE 57 INTERIM REPORT
Committee, as in the case of the ACC. It was established by the Police
Integrity Commission Act 1996, and its functions are to detect,
investigate and prevent police corruption and other serious police
misconduct and to manage or oversee other agencies doing the same.
Oversight of police corruption is shared, in that the New South Wales
Ombudsman also plays a role with respect to medium-level
misconduct.
8.5 Members of the public or police officers who are dissatisfied with the
actions or inaction of the PIC can complain to the Inspector of the PIC.
This Inspector is an independent officer who reports directly to the
New South Wales Parliament and has the power to investigate and
assess complaints.
8.6 In addition to these bodies that deal with issues of police and public
sector corruption, New South Wales also has the New South Wales
Crime Commission (NSWCC) which deals with the issues relating to
organised crime and drug trafficking. These investigations often
overlap with investigations into police corruption.

Justice Wood's the Rotten Apple Theory from Wood's Royal Commission.

The Hon Justice JRT Wood, in his final report on the New South
Wales Police Service in 1987 (“the Wood Royal Commission”), said at
26-27, paragraphs 2.6 and 2.7:
“2.6 The ‘rotten apple’ theory of police deviance by which
corruption has been understood in terms of individual
moral failure has been long discounted. The narrow
perspective of corruption offered by the rotten apple
theory has been criticised as a defensive approach which
denies the social determinants of corruption and the
reality that organisations can be corrupt:
Consequently it would seem that acceptance by police
managers and political elites, of a rotten apple concept of
police corruption, is a defensive, face-saving exercise. The
solution is simply seen as removing ‘bent’ officers without a
need to evaluate organisational procedures. It is, in essence, a
means of ‘papering over the cracks’ without admitting that
there is a fundamental problem of major significance (K Bryett
& A Harrison, Policing in the Community, Butterworths,
Sydney, 1993, p 74).
2.7 The Knapp Commission, reporting on police corruption
in New York in 1972, concluded that the New York City
Police Department’s (NYPD) reliance on the rotten apple
theory had functioned as an obstacle to meaningful
reform:
PAGE 7 INTERIM REPORT
According to this theory, which bordered on official
According to this theory, which bordered on official
Department doctrine, any policeman found to be corrupt must
promptly be denounced as a rotten apple in an otherwise clean
barrel. It must never be admitted that his individual
corruption may be symptomatic of underlying disease… A
high command unwilling to acknowledge that the problem of
corruption is extensive cannot very well argue that drastic
changes are necessary to deal with the problem.

Juanita Nielsen case number D 2011/208952 You be the Judge?

I refer to your correspondence to the NSW Commissioner of Police, dated 3 December 2011, regarding
the unsolved murder of Juanita Nielson. I wish to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence on behalf of
the Office of the Commissioner, under reference number D/2011/208952.
The matter has been referred under confidential cover, to the relevant command within the NSW Police
Force for review and appropriate action.
On behalf of the Office of the Commissioner, I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to the
attention of the NSW Police Force.

Within the mythology of Aleister Crowley the sides for a sex temple is 10 internally the brothel fits that criteria.  Glebe Coroner said the Police will investigate  we are still waiting.

  Green lighting was shown  in the Wood's Royal Commission.
