This is part one of a two part episode with our guest, Kate Pausina. Kate Pausina is a 23 year veteran of the Queensland Police Service. In the second instalment of this two part episode, Kate will tell us about the negatives of her time with the cops experiences that led her to lodge a formal complaint in 2018 and more recently to contribute a chapter to a book entitled When Cops Are Criminals. But in this instalment, Kate revisits the experiences during her time in the Coronial Support Unit that made her love policing and made it so hard for her to walk away. Kate contributed a chapter to the 2024 book "When Cops Are Criminals" by Veronica Gorrie, which you can purchase here. Got a True Crime question you want answered on the podcast?
