They talk about a range of topics, including police powers in relation to juvenile offenders and the role of police prosecutors in criminal trials and sentencing. Hear why Assistant Commissioner Cook believes discretion is a crucial part of policing, and the importance of alternative pathways within the criminal justice system.
