ABSTRACT
Today, the jurisdiction extends for just over one million square kilometers ranging from the cosmopolitan capital city of Adelaide to remote mining and desert regions. e 170 years of continuous existence and service make SAPOL one of the oldest police agencies in the world. Often viewed by those in the eastern seaboard states as a relatively quiet state, South Australia today has been subjected to the spectrum of crime from drug tracking to recent bikie (outlaw motorcycle gang) violence.
