Show Notes
In this episode, we talk to Senior Constable Matthew Smith and Constable Fiona Russell about marine policing to find out what it's like to work on the water at Tasmania Police.
Matt currently works in Marine and Rescue Services, and Fiona worked with the team between 2005 and 2012 prior to moving to King Island, where she spent eight years as part of the marine team for the island.
Both Matt and Fi have spent a lot of time travelling around Tasmania on the 34 Marine vessels that make up the Tas Police fleet, like the Vigilant, the Dauntless and the Van Diemen.
