17.01.2022 Happy birthday to us! October 2020 is our 74th birthday. In October 1944 Australian police commissioners met in Adelaide and decided 'a different type of publication' was needed; 'a journal embodying articles of an instructive nature relating to phases of police activities in Australia, would be most the most advantageous vehicle for the conveyance of general and technical knowledge to the personnel of Australian Police Forces.'... In October 1946 the first issue of the Australian Police Journal was published, available at an annual subscription rate of four shillings. Seventy-four years later the APJ continues to pursue the vision of those commissioners, with a contemporary mission of assisting the community through promoting learning and the education of police. We are proudly, Australia's preeminent true crime and policing publication.

14.01.2022 The APJ’s condolences to the family of S/C Masters and the wider Queensland Police Service. His on-duty death is a tragic reminder of the sacrifice some police are called upon to make in the service of the community. Lest we forget.

13.01.2022 Our new podcast is out! Did you know Adelaide police once conducted a bayonet charge into a mob who were attacking their police station? Did you know police stations often were used as improvised mortuaries, even though this posed a serious risk to the health of the officers? One South Australian Police station was even, for a time, made from disused beer crates! Author and former senior police officer John White talks about his book ‘More than Just Bricks and Mortar’, a soc...ial history of the almost 500 police stations South Australia Police have occupied throughout their history. He and host Jason Byrnes talk about stories of courage, sacrifice, tragedy and service, in places as far afield as Maralinga, Coober Pedy, Tarcoola, Innamincka, Glenelg and Port Adelaide. The podcast is available on all major podcast host sites, or can be listened to at www.apjl.com.au #PoliceUniversity #lawenforcement #PoliceUniversity #truecrime #APJ #apjl

07.01.2022 The May 2021 episode of 'Policing Australia' has been released. It's available at all podcast host sites and at www.apjl.com.au/podcast/ How and why do police coordinate Search and Rescue (SAR) operations for missing or lost people? What processes are involved in deciding when to call the searches off? ... Can police predict the behaviour of lost people? Join host Jason Byrnes as he learns about police involvement in SAR, by talking with Queensland Police Senior Sergeant Jim Whitehead.

Several case studies are discussed, including the 2011 search for the remains of missing boy Daniel Morecombe, the 2017 search for six missing divers on the submerged vessel 'FV Diana', the 2018 search and rescue of a South Korean bushwalker who was stuck at a waterfall near Tully, and locating the body of a man who fell off a lilo in Lake Eacham in 2014.
