When the Regional Operations Group is called out they don’t mess around. There are two kinds of people at jobs like these…those who move on, and those who stay. This episode is about those who stay.
Senior Constable Chelsea Sardinha will tell you what it’s like to be on the front line as angry crowds throw rocks and other projectiles and charge towards her yelling obscenities.
You’ll hear how the ROG officers and supporting units work as a team to restore order from chaos to keep the community safe.
Note: This episode discusses an incident that occurred in 2017, and refers to the use of police dogs. Canine Section are no longer deployed to such incidents.
