The Crime Couch with Rochelle Jackson

This is the second of a two-part interview with Brian Doherty. Brian retired as an Inspector from Victoria Police. He spent 19 years in the CIB, the Consorting Squad, the Major Crime and Drug Squads; he also did a stint in community policing at Broadmeadows.   While some turn to lawn bowls after retirement, Brian certainly doesn't let the grass grow under his feet. He's held managerial roles at the Sandringham Club, the Health Workers Union, Geelong Harness Racing Inc, a tropical reef shipyard in Cairns and the magnificent Collingwood Football Club to name a few. Currently, Brian's halfway through a law degree.   Contains Snappy @2021 performed Jonathan Boyle with music written by Jonathan Boyle, courtesy of Premium Beat.

There's not too many former Victoria Police Inspectors who've been Managers at the elite Sandringham Club, the Health Workers Union, Geelong Harness Racing Inc, a tropical reef shipyard in Cairns and the magnificent Collingwood Football Club. Brian Doherty has. In fact, Brian's also halfway through a law degree.  He spent 19 years in the job in the CIB, Consorting Squad, the Major Crime Squad and the Drug Squad. On his first nightshift, Brian had to attend the collapse of the West Gate Bridge.   Contains Snappy @2021 performed Jonathan Boyle with music written by Jonathan Boyle, courtesy of Premium Beat.

Former Superintendent Geoff Tulloch was known in the job for his honesty, meticulous record-keeping and making a difference. He worked in the Mobile Traffic Section, the Second-Hand Dealers Squad, the Crime Cars and the Training Research Section before finishing as a Law Instructor at the Police Academy. When stationed in Bairnsdale, he was the only motorcycle traffic cop in Gippsland. Geoff proudly rode a 1958 Ariel Square Four motorbike which is currently on display in the Victoria Police Museum! But it's the night where he happened to meet an American President that's really stuck in his memory.  Contains Snappy @2021 performed Jonathan Boyle with music written by Jonathan Boyle, courtesy of Premium Beat.

This is the second of a two-part interview with former Victoria Police Detective Senior Constable Brendan "Finni" Finn about nabbing crooks.  First there was the Major Crime Squad, then the Fugitive Squad... both Squads tracked down escapees, crooks, murderers, armed robbers, parolees who breached their parole conditions and anyone who didn't want to be found. They also did extraditions where they travelled interstate and bought crooks home via plane.  Finni's left the job now and has many stories about working in the Fugitive Squad which he says - was the best job in the world!

Catching fugitives like the alleged police murderer Dezi Freeman has always been important in Victoria Police. Finding and nabbing crooks is routine for specialist units like the Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Fugitive Squad and former Detective Senior Constable Brendan Finn aka "Finni" was right in the thick of it. Finni was in the Fugitive Squad which is part of the Crime Department. The Detective Senior Constable tracked down escapees, crooks, murderers, armed robbers, burglars, those who breached parole and anyone who didn't want to be found. This is part 1 of a two-part special featuring Finni. Contains Snappy @2021 performed Jonathan Boyle with music written by Jonathan Boyle, courtesy of Premium Beat.
