”Shots fired - part 2”

This is final episode of a two-part special featuring former Victoria Police Special Operations Group member, Jim Venn. 

He was "in the job" for 24 years, also working in the Major Crime Squad, the BCI, Firearms Operational Survival Training Unit and as a Staff Officer.

After leaving Victoria Police, Jim ran his own investigative consultancy business. He investigated the ACT 2003 bushfires and led a major inquiry into bullying and misconduct at the Canberra Institute of Technology.

Although police members don't like to bang their own drum, Jim's received a Valor Medal, a National Medal, several citations and a City of Melbourne award. Jim was involved in the state's major criminal investigations including the fatal shooting of gun nut and Neo-Nazi Thomas "Tommy" Messinger.
