The text details the extensive corruption within the New South Wales police force from the 1940s to the 1980s, focusing on the careers of three prominent corrupt detectives: Ray Kelly, Fred Krahe, and Roger Rogerson. Kelly, a highly decorated officer, used his position to protect criminals, engage in extortion, and even commit murder. Krahe continued Kelly's legacy of corruption, using his power for personal enrichment and possibly murder. Rogerson, mentored by Krahe, further exemplified the cycle of police corruption. The text highlights how widespread corruption was fostered by a culture of complicity and a system that allowed it to thrive, impacting everything from illegal gambling to murder. The narrative shows how this impacted the criminal underworld and high-level politicians.
