I will drop it after I have my say. You seemed to be very specific about pressure coming from the "new guard" not the old. A senior figure, supposedly above GJ who could bully junior detectives, and when I looked back through posts you referred to a Commanding Officer. It didn't seem to me that you were referring to a general situation and not a prticular person, because I found an individual who may well have fit that description. The Australian allows the public to access one article I think and I was lucky to be able to get it that article but unfortunately you say you can't access it and I can't understand why my message wasn't received but there you go, you can't help bad luck I guess. You have made out that I have deliberately tried to misunderstand you based upon my beliefs, you don't even know what they are and I'm sure you wouldn't really care anyway. I do not blame you for others ridiculing me, they make that decision themselves, I'm just disappointed, is all. I will let it go now.

Teacher’s Pet: Homicide chief Scott Cook a rising star of the force

The commander of the NSW Homicide Squad, Detective Superintendent Scott Cook, is one of the rising stars in the state police force, with a long history of getting results.
In just 10 months as head of the squad, he has restructured the way his investigators work, imposing a six-month cut-off to solve cases before deciding whether they should be sent to the coroner.
It is all part of Superintendent Cook’s push to free up homicide detectives to focus on investigations and cut through the 600 unsolved cases on their books — most of them cold cases like the Lyn Dawson disappearance.
By fast-tracking investigations to the coroner’s court, detectives can tap into the court’s powers, such as compelling witnesses to give evidence, while providing victims’ families with answers sooner.
