Shortcut: Closing the Technology Gap in Policing

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

David Bartlett is a former Victoria Police detective and Australian Crime Commission investigator with experience in counter terror work, international drug operations and organised crime. 

 

He shares how early frontline policing, tech skills and major investigations revealed the growing technology gap that criminals are now exploiting. 

 

David has since founded the Safer Places Network, a national voluntary CCTV register designed to get critical footage to investigators faster while protecting community privacy.
