The latest issue of the South Australia Police (SAPOL) Blueprint magazine is available online via the Issue website.
In a statement, SAPOL said the issue included a range of stories which focused on the hard work and dedication of individuals, the feats and triumphs of teams and the projects and initiatives that were shaping South Australia Police.
SAPOL said the issue featured a story about Senior Constable First Class (SC1C), Ashwin Menon’s amazing career journey from the corporate world to policing, as well as a story about the close working relationship and unbreakable bond between police dogs and their handlers.
It said that also of interest was an in-depth look into SAPOL’s pivotal role in Operation Ironside, an unprecedented global policing operation targeting organised crime.
“(Also featured is) a case study focussing on the manslaughter of Robert Sabeckis – a well-known cold case solved by the relentless investigative work of SA Police’s Major Crime Investigation Branch,” it said.
SAPOL said other highlights included SA Police’s recently acquired policing assets – Polair 53 helicopter, Police Launch 2, jet skis, all-terrain vehicles, e-scooters, and electric vehicles – and the invaluable role of Gentle Bears during emotional and traumatic situations.
It said there was also a focus on the success of hard-hitting and thought-provoking road safety campaigns launched by SAPOL’s Media Road Safety Unit, the impact of new vehicle impounding legislation on reckless road users, and the strong, collaborative working relationship between SA Police and the South Australian State Emergency Service.
“(There is also) a look back on the history of Dog Operations Unit which is now encapsulated in a display at the South Australian Police Historical Society’s museum at Thebarton Barracks,” SAPOL said.
