Transcript
The majority of the day was a very ordinary day. Even when we got called to say we had a high-risk arrest, that was our job. Who called you? I laugh wildly, because I was actually at work, but I had a lot of sporty involvement while I was at work, because we got paid to stay fit. So I was actually out playing police basketball at the time that the boss of my section made a phone call and said, "Derrick, you need to get back here, we've got a high-risk arrest in the Barossa Valley." And they said it was with the offender, Grosser. I had been involved in two jobs with this person in the past, so I knew exactly who it was. When that call came in, most people think, "Oh my gosh, that must have been scary." Not a chance. We were trained for this, and this is the work we love to do.
