Irish Independent (Republic of Ireland) 15/1/2023 News NSW Police is not the same with a woman at the helm AUSTRALIA: In the sitting room outside Karen Webb’s office, there is a wall lined with photographs of commissioners past. They begin with William Spain, who took the job in 1851, and finish with Andrew Scipione, the longest-serving boss of the modern era (a portrait of Webb’s immediate predecessor, Mick Fuller, is yet to be hung).

CBC News (Canada) 14/1/2023 News ‘Straw buyer’ revealed: How gangs get their guns NEW ZEALAND: The suspect didn’t look like an arms dealer. He was a 22-year-old landscaper with a clean criminal record who had passed police vetting checks to get his firearms licence.
