The text details the criminal activities of several corrupt police officers in Australia, focusing on how their law enforcement experience facilitated their transitions into major criminal enterprises. John Wesley Egan and Murray Riley are highlighted as prime examples, showcasing how insider knowledge and contacts enabled large-scale smuggling and organised crime. The text also explores the evolution of police corruption, noting a shift from established, high-level corruption to a more unpredictable and dangerous environment characterised by smaller-scale operations and shifting alliances in the drug trade.

The case of Roger Rogerson is used to exemplify the ongoing issue of police corruption well into the 1990s.
