PS News (Australia) 19/5/2026 Feature, Opinion Commissioner Barry Thacker: Policing all six Atlantic territories In this second conversation with Barry Thacker, PolicingTV explores what it really takes to police across the British Atlantic Overseas Territories. Having served in all six territories, Barry offers a rare perspective on the similarities and differences between places including the Falklands, St Helena, Ascension, South Georgia, British Antarctica and Tristan da Cunha, from policing style and community relationships to geography, logistics and daily responsibilities.
