‘You can see why they’re called the Riot Squad. They’re damn tough and they don’t muck about. They patrol some of Australia’s most dangerous streets, determined to stamp out violence fuelled by booze and drugs.

[efoods]

In some ways, this is the last resort, a radical response to increasing street crime. And, after spending a few weekends with the men and women of the squad, we can tell you it sure is full-on, aggressive policing. What’s more, they’re quite open about it, there’s nothing touchy-feely about these cops. No wonder they’ve raised a few eyebrows.

Critics who claim they cause more trouble than they’re worth.’
