More police on beat is my prio
THE NSW Police Commissioner, Ken Moroney, says he is prepared to have a "sensible debate" on the controversial rostering system under which police work four consecutive 12-hour shifts followed by up to six days off.
The Commissioner's comments yesterday followed disclosures by the Herald of police taking on second jobs under the rostering system. The Police Integrity Commission is concerned at how many water police have been moonlighting.
"What I want to do is have a serious look at it to see, if it works, how it could be made to work better and if it doesn't work, we've ... Read more

DEA Extradites Two Corrupt Col
JOHN P. GILBRIDE, Special Agent in Charge
of the Drug Enforcement Administration and MICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced the extradition of two corrupt Colombian police officers charged with smuggling more than $50 million worth of cocaine for importation into the United States. The Indictment charges LEONIDAS MOLINA-TRIANA, a/k/a "Sofoco," a/k/a "Don Oscar," a former Major in the Colombian National Police ("CNP") and HUMBERTO AVILA, an active CNP patrolman, and others, with conspiracy to facilitate cocaine shipments through the El Dorado International Airport, in Bogota, Colombia, to Mexico en route to the United States.
SAC GILBRIDE stated, “These extraditions are a warning to those individuals who smuggle drugs into the United States that the DEA and the US Attorney’s Office will continue to vigorously investigate your organizations to ensure you are brought to justice. Leonidas Molina-Triana and Humberto Avila - both worked for the Colombian National Police and both betrayed the trust of the public and airline employees. Due to the diligence of DEA and our law enforcement partners – both are facing the consequences of their illegal actions.”
According to the Indictment, from approximately August 2005 until April 2006, representatives of Colombia’s notorious Norte Valle Cartel, including former high-ranking Colombian police officials like MOLINA-TRIANA, recruited active members of the Colombian police responsible for El Dorado Airport security operations and employees of Avianca Airlines at El Dorado Airport’s cargo facility to facilitate the smuggling of cocaine from Colombia to Mexico and ultimately into the United States. The Indictment alleges that between October 14 and 17, 2005 these corrupt Colombian police officials and Avianca Airlines employees permitted 409 kilograms of cocaine, with a wholesale value of more than $10 million, to pass through security at the Avianca Airlines cargo facility at El Dorado Airport without detection. AVILA, an active CNP patrolman stationed at El Dorado Airport, passed the cocaine through security and guarded the shipment of drugs for three days in the Avianca cargo facility until the drugs were sent to Mexico City. On October 17, 2005, the 409 kilograms of cocaine were allegedly transported aboard an Avianca flight to Mexico City, Mexico, where they were seized by Mexican law enforcement personnel.
