Episode 142 – Who’s Got the Cops’ Backs?

A listener question gets Damo and Schultzy talking about something every cop should understand — who’s got your back when things go wrong?

In this episode, the boys look at the role of police unions and associations and why they’re about far more than just pay and conditions. From legal representation and disciplinary matters to supporting members through some of the toughest moments of their careers, having someone in your corner can make all the difference.

Drawing on their own experiences with the NT Police Association and their recent visit to the Queensland Police Union Council, Damo and Schultzy also talk about the delegates who give up their own time to stand beside their fellow cops when they need it most.

And, as usual, the conversation takes a few turns — including defence lawyers, court battles and why young cops shouldn’t be afraid to stand their ground when they’ve done their job properly.

Who’s got the cops’ backs? Sometimes, it’s another cop willing to stand beside them.
