Use Of Force

Good story but presented in a very contrived manner. “Oh, no!”, “Gasp!”, “What do you mean?” Not convinced that Brigid is always telling the truth, either.

Hi Brigid and Sarah, I have just finished listening to the podcast, it’s an incredible story. I’m am at lost for words to describe my anger at the way Brigid was treated but, I am in awe of her strength and resilience. Can wait to see the show on TV. Keep up the great work Sarah.

This is an important story that needs to be told. The host completely ruined it.

What a shame

I loved this, only thing that wasn’t easy listening was the constant gasping and response noises from the host into the microphone. Some of it could have been edited out as it became repetitive and I started to anticipate it and it killed some of the awesome story being told by the guest.

The ex police woman is a hero, I loved hearing her speak.

Such a brave woman to relive and heal her trauma in a podcast like this. Thank you for sharing your story, this is one EVERYONE should hear.

20 years of policing, winning some of the most prestigious awards going and yet the buys club did everything they could to destroy my career.

My best survival skill was to leave, knowing that if I didn’t I would kill myself.

I was accused of many things, and was so busy banging every male officer that it was a wonder I had time to do an arrest.

I haven’t listened yet, but will now that I have found you.

Brigid, we may have even crossed paths.

I could not stop listening to this until I was finished. Brigit is credible and an important voice. Learned so much from this podcast.

Best wishes Bridget and Sarah. A shocking journey and told in such a heartfelt manner. NSW Police (men) should hold their heads in shame. The most horrific workplace and the community is supposed to trust these Neanderthal’s? I hope that the corrupt, sexist, brutal ones have been able to turn their lives around. Well done on an amazing series and hope you both get the Tv series you deserve.

While I acknowledge that life as a female police officer is doubtless full of (not unexpected) horrifying criminal situations, as well as having to negotiate sexism and corruption in the force (also not unexpected, as these are elements that sadly occur everywhere in society), it seems the host is willing to take on trust every word from Brigid. This includes some of the strange “bombshells” dropped during the “interviews” seemingly out of nowhere, particularly the vague hints at the dodgy deali... more

Fantastic podcast - I’m new to the podcast world and spent 365km on a road trip to listen and absorb. Bought me to tears - 90s policing must’ve been tough but there’s still rotten apples in the ranks. Speaking from experience.

If the host was different I would have given it 4 stars but the host’s irritating expressions and comments, kill this podcast for me - which could have been great.

These stories are so hard to listen to, but so necessary. It’s important to know how far women have come in these important roles, and the suffering that our people in blue have been through. Thanks for your bravery in your story telling, ladies.

This is a must listen regardless of what side of the fence you sit on when it comes to policing in Australia.

I did not like this podcast! Not recommending to anyone.

From a guy who cut his teeth for 30 years in the same parallel environment and locations, this story is poignant and so brutally truthful. Well done! A hard life which really didn’t need to be that hard.
