Covert squad to hit crime
September 12, 2004
A NEW police flying squad will target criminal activity linked to
licensed venues, security guards, brothels and bikies.
The 22-member branch is likely to use undercover operations to
investigate problems surrounding gaming, prostitution, fortified
premises, crowd controllers and the security industry.
Police sources say it is likely to be known as the Licensing
Enforcement Branch and be operational by January.
It is understood the squad will include officers from SAPOL's
liquor and gaming and vice and gaming areas and recruit other
public servants.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Dickson, formerly of Adelaide CIB,
said he was setting up a new branch but was unable to comment
until it was officially launched.
