Episode 71 – Boot Camps, Broken Systems, and Blokes Like Mickey

In this episode of Two Ordinary Cops, Damo and Schultzy dive deep into the tough conversations — from viral post turtle banter to the devastating reality behind police suicide and youth crime in the Territory.

Damo reflects on the tragic loss of his mate, Mickey D — a true legend of the Northern Territory Police — and what made him so special. They unpack what worked in the past for youth justice, the decline of community authority, and whether boot camps could actually help, or if some kids are just too far gone.

It’s raw, honest, and full of insight from two coppers who’ve seen it all — from ironed uniforms to iron wills tested.

If you care about policing, community, and doing better — this one’s worth a listen.
