00:00:00
Speaker 1: Delighted to have my next two guests in. As I mentioned at the very start of the show, everyone loves donuts. Mmm, donuts. I'm not sure if it's an American thing or an Australian thing that police and donuts sort of get lumped in together, but it's a terrific cause, a terrific initiative. Let's find out more. SA Police Legacy CEO is Karen Cuccarelli, who joins me. Lovely to see you again, Karen.
00:00:21
Speaker 2: Lovely to see you again.
00:00:22
Speaker 1: And Superintendent James Down is here in uniform. I'm on my best behaviour. Lovely to see you, James. Thanks for coming in. Is it an Australian thing too? Like it's the American, we all see the TV shows, Karen, and the movies where, you know, the American police officers on a stakeout, they're just getting heaps of doughnuts. Is that filtering through the force here in Australia, in South Australia?
00:00:41
Speaker 2: I think we're trying.
00:00:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:43
Speaker 2: Sounds like you like The Simpsons.
00:00:44
Speaker 1: Of course. I've been working on it all morning.
00:00:47
Speaker 3: Well, I know what I'm getting, some doughnuts.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: See, Chief Wiggum, he's all over that. But it's a terrific initiative you've been doing. How long has it been going now, doughnut?
00:00:54
Speaker 2: This is our sixth year. actually, so I'm really impressed that it keeps getting bigger and bigger. We've got 27 bakeries on board this year, which is fantastic. A lot of them all throughout the state, so you don't have to be metro to get involved. Yeah, really impressed with the momentum. And amazingly, we've got four schools actually participating this week as well.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: That's great. So it's going to get bigger and bigger.
00:01:19
Speaker 2: It is, yeah.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: And that would be important, would it not, James, to have that kind of interaction with the kids because you want policing to be available to everyone in the community to have that great relationship with them. Oh, that's right.
00:01:29
Speaker 3: Engagement with the community is the foundation for policing. We need to be in touch with the community and have their support as we support them.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: So the week officially starts today, runs through to next Tuesday, doesn't it, which is the official day. That is the National Police Remembrance Day. So the money and the funds that you raise, the awareness that you raise is all about SA Police legacy. Can you remind again, Karen, our 5AA audience of the amazing work you do when it comes to police officers and families during, what, illness and injury and sadly, death? there is bereavement at times.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: Absolutely. And we call it the times when the unthinkable happens. We're there for police families. And we have a number of programs. It could be financial support. It might be our support groups we run in-house. Or it may simply be that we do a home visit to a family that's going through a really tough time. And that support is quite tailored depending on the needs of that family. But ultimately.
00:02:30
Speaker 2: There's been a loss in the family. They're going through a really difficult time. When we can bring them together in a social event, what that does for those families is allows them to meet other families that are going through a journey of grief as well. And it's quite heartwarming to see how they support each other. And even though a lot of people have friends and family there to support them, When there is a loss in the family, it's really until you meet someone else who's actually gone through that as well. That's the difference that can really help someone sort of put some strategies in place and give them some hope.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I imagine, James, even if you're not in the actual station of the police who have tragically lost their lives or people have been injured, you're like a brethren. So I imagine that filters right across the force for everyone.
00:03:21
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:03:22
Speaker 3: Policing, I've been in police now for almost 30 years and it is a big police family and we look after each other and it's so good to have someone like the SA Police Legacy to look after police. It's fantastic.
00:03:33
Speaker 1: How difficult is it when you hear those stories, you know, and they've been in the news of recent times, the police have lost their life in the line of duty like that. That must be hard for any police officer because that's, That's your job. That's what you do. Nobody expects that going to work.
00:03:46
Speaker 3: It's hard for everyone, everyone involved, not only the police officers, but police officers' families as well.
00:03:52
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the injuries too that can occur sometime during policing, sometimes we forget that.
00:03:57
Speaker 3: Police are on the front line, so they have to deal with everything that's out there in the community. It is an enjoyable job, but it does come with its challenges.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: Is it getting better in the 30 years that you've been doing it? Are you Are you seeing more incidents now than in the past or are people getting the message and our respect?
00:04:16
Speaker 3: I think policing has always been challenging. There's always been challenges and I don't think it's become any worse. I think it's actually a really enjoyable job and we all stick together and look after each other and that's what I love about policing.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: You would see, Karen, from SA Police Legacy just what a difference you're making when you get to see that firsthand for the officers involved but their families too.
00:04:38
Speaker 2: Yes, and I was thinking about the fact that we support injuries and illness and for us it doesn't matter if it's on the job or off the job. In fact, most of our support is because something's happened, whether it's a terminal illness. We had a police officer last year who was on a head-on collision in their car with their family on a weekend. Both parents ended up in two different hospitals and their two-year-old son in the back seat barely got a scratch. Our support was able to.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: Provide the grandparents with some funding to get the child looked after and get some of those incidentals that they needed to keep his life and a bit of normality. Another family just recently we've been able to support is a husband of a police officer who's seriously unwell and has been flown to a different state and he's awaiting a transplant but they've got teenage children here and so she's flying between another state to support a husband, but then she's got kids here. So we've been able to provide some financial support to pay for some of those flights just to ease some of the financial stress that comes with the stress of health and all the other challenges that that family's already going through.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: And that's got to be a godsend for you guys in the force, yeah?
00:05:55
Speaker 3: It's so good to know that we've got SA Police Legacy there to support us when we need it, both ourselves and our family.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: You know, I'm an ambassador for the retired police dogs of SA, the amazing work that Tina and her team does. Tina in particular and her dad and everyone else but quite often we think about the dogs you know like we think they get injured in the line of duty because they're running up and down and jumping on cars and out of buildings and Sometimes we forget about you officers too.
00:06:22
Speaker 3: I must say, every time a dog gets injured, there's more likes on Facebook and comments.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: I know.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: Police officers do get injured as well.
00:06:30
Speaker 1: That's the thing I thought. Gosh, because you guys, occasionally you would. You'd have to take off on a foot chase.
00:06:35
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
00:06:37
Speaker 1: Jumping here and jumping there.
00:06:38
Speaker 3: It's an exciting job, but it does obviously come with its challenges, and that's why we're so lucky to have SA Police Legacy.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Have you been lucky enough in your 30 years you haven't had too many injuries?
00:06:49
Speaker 3: Oh, I've had a few.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: I've had a few.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: But it's all part of the job.
00:06:53
Speaker 1: Part of the gig, yep.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: And you know that and you accept that and I wouldn't have it any other way.
00:06:58
Speaker 1: How great is it that South Australian businesses continue to get on board? I was seeing the media shy John Paul Drake, Shaken Drake, on his social media. So he is right behind it because you can get the donuts at Drake's.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: Yep.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: And our great friends at Villy's, they're on board again.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: They are, yep. So Villy's is supplying Drake's with the donuts this year. So if you've pre-ordered, you're probably picking up those any day throughout the next week or so. So big, big thanks to Drake's and all the independent bakeries that have got on board. Not everyone can eat donuts like James here. So we do actually.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: Come on, James.
00:07:33
Speaker 2: We have socks as well.
00:07:35
Speaker 1: Oh, well, that's right. You could be stylish. Yes, that's right. What's the word? Celiac?
00:07:41
Speaker 2: Yes, celiac, unfortunately. Really?
00:07:42
Speaker 1: Or are you just looking after your rig?
00:07:44
Speaker 3: No, I am celiac, yeah, unfortunately.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: Well, we'll just work on that.
00:07:48
Speaker 2: Yes, so socks.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: Perfect.
00:07:50
Speaker 3: Something for everyone.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: Something for everyone.
00:07:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we need the merch for that too. So I guess what we want this to continue, it's in its infancy now in a few years now, but imagine if we could get more and more Schools to do like a gold coin donation day or donut day or you've already got it now, I guess, in workplaces and the like.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: Anything like that would be of great help because the number of families that we're supporting at the moment is at a record high. So it's great that we have some amazing sponsors and police officers donate in their pay. But because it is a growing community of families and police officers that need our support, Things like Blue Donut Day, Blue Donut Week, doing casual days in the office, whatever you can do to help raise money for Police Legacy will ensure that we can continue to stretch our services across the growing number of people in our community.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: That's sad, I guess, in a way that you have more people than ever needing services.
00:08:48
Speaker 2: Yes, we have the most children that we've ever had, 52 at the moment. When I started nine years ago, it was always around 30. and it's just crept up, unfortunately, sadly.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it makes the work even more rewarding, I guess.
00:09:01
Speaker 2: It does, yeah. And some of those kids have, you know, they've been with us for years. We've seen them grow up. We've just implemented camps now for the kids. We join New South Wales Police Legacy, and our kids and their kids all get together and do a camp. And one of the kids said to me when they got back, it was the first time they felt normal And that was purely because they met another child whose father also had died in similar circumstances. So it just took it to a different level for that child where there was just a sense of normality and I'm not by myself and someone understands.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: I saw you stand at the show selling the plush toys. Yes, that was good fun. People seemed to enjoy that too.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: They did, yeah. It was fantastic and we're appreciative that SAPOL allowed us to share their space again this year.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: James, are we allowed to know what part of the city you're from? Are you allowed to give a shout-out to your fellow workers, or do we keep that on the down low?
00:09:55
Speaker 3: No, I'm the officer in charge of our forensic services branch. Shout out to everyone who works at the branch. We had a delivery of blue donuts there this morning, so they're all fed up on donuts.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Any chance someone's eating yours? Is there one person that you want to?
00:10:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul Mann's had his eyes on my donut, so he's got one today.
00:10:16
Speaker 1: Oh, look at those. Don't you love a public sledging? I actually want to mention, if we can, and this will take just a minute or two, but I do want to mention the independent bakeries that have jumped on board too, because this is great, isn't it? I guess more and more carrying over the journey too, to get involved too, because every donut, $ 2 of that will go back directly to South Australian Police Legacy. So, folks, between now and next Tuesday, so today week, it is Blue Donut Week supporting South Australian Police Legacy, and the day itself on the 29th is the Remembrance Day, National Police Remembrance Day. So you can always go to your Drake supermarkets and you can get your Billy's Donuts there, which you will love. However, if you would like to go to the following independent bakeries, Bakery O'Connell, Bowhanna Bakery, the Beach Bakery in Lincoln, Bordertown Bake, Celiac, you probably don't have a favourite bakery. Well, maybe some do. Oh, I did.
00:11:06
Speaker 3: I did. I've got some friends who've got bakeries.
00:11:10
Speaker 1: Let's see if they get a mention and we'll give them some love. Bordertown Bakery, Bradley's in both Christie's and Moe's. The Browns, Barossa Donuts, Bruin Bakes in Hillcrest, Cassiter Pan in Playford, Clay & Co in Newton, the Clare Bakery, the Cleve Bakery, Gorsa, right across the state. Karen, which is excellent.

So well done to everyone for getting on board. What else can we do to help apart from devouring a donut, Karen, in the next day or so?
00:11:59
Speaker 2: Well, there's lots of ways you can support. Visit our website, which is policelegacysa.org.au. There is a nice, bright Donate button at the top right if you're inclined to donate. But if you're a business that is happy to get involved, we have a number of smaller things like quiz nights and auctions and things like that. So if you are in position to perhaps donate a prize or volunteer your time it doesn't have to be money cash it can be time it could be prizes that we can auction off in a number of different ways so there's lots of different ways and we encourage anyone to reach out if they'd like to know some more information.

Like it's the American, we all see the TV shows, Karen, and the movies where, you know, the American police officers on a stakeout, they're just getting heaps of doughnuts. Is that filtering through the force here in Australia, in South Australia?
00:00:41
Speaker 2: I think we're trying.
00:00:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:43

But because it is a growing community of families and police officers that need our support, Things like Blue Donut Day, Blue Donut Week, doing casual days in the office, whatever you can do to help raise money for Police Legacy will ensure that we can continue to stretch our services across the growing number of people in our community.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: That's sad, I guess, in a way that you have more people than ever needing services.
00:08:48
Speaker 2: Yes, we have the most children that we've ever had, 52 at the moment. When I started nine years ago, it was always around 30. and it's just crept up, unfortunately, sadly.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it makes the work even more rewarding, I guess.
00:09:01
Speaker 2: It does, yeah. And some of those kids have, you know, they've been with us for years. We've seen them grow up. We've just implemented camps now for the kids. We join New South Wales Police Legacy, and our kids and their kids all get together and do a camp. And one of the kids said to me when they got back, it was the first time they felt normal And that was purely because they met another child whose father also had died in similar circumstances. So it just took it to a different level for that child where there was just a sense of normality and I'm not by myself and someone understands.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: I saw you stand at the show selling the plush toys. Yes, that was good fun. People seemed to enjoy that too.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: They did, yeah. It was fantastic and we're appreciative that SAPOL allowed us to share their space again this year.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: James, are we allowed to know what part of the city you're from? Are you allowed to give a shout-out to your fellow workers, or do we keep that on the down low?
00:09:55
Speaker 3: No, I'm the officer in charge of our forensic services branch. Shout out to everyone who works at the branch. We had a delivery of blue donuts there this morning, so they're all fed up on donuts.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Any chance someone's eating yours? Is there one person that you want to?
00:10:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul Mann's had his eyes on my donut, so he's got one today.
00:10:16
Speaker 1: Oh, look at those. Don't you love a public sledging? I actually want to mention, if we can, and this will take just a minute or two, but I do want to mention the independent bakeries that have jumped on board too, because this is great, isn't it? I guess more and more carrying over the journey too, to get involved too, because every donut, $ 2 of that will go back directly to South Australian Police Legacy.
