JIRT is a group within nsw police that investigate crimes against children, eg the sickos in this world that like to molest children in person.
Its made up of officers with specialist training, and is also partnered up with DOCS

They would liase with other law enforement if the POI went interstate or overseas but otherwise they use local resources.

Very good people, that do a very hard job and deserve to be paid far more than they are being paid.

No, you might have mis-understood what exactly "JIRT" is. It is not a specific unit, its just a common term.

Re-read what I have posted in the above post, it is simply a multi-agency response team which there are MANY in the NSW Police. JIRT's are formed to investigate many matters that require a joint response/investigation team

What you have mentioned is simply the role NSW Police Child Protection and Sex Crimes Squad

So I take it the term "task force" is no longer used they have replaced it with JIRT ?

So I take it the term "task force" is no longer used they have replaced it with JIRT ?

The term Task force is still used as a "task force" is a specific group/team that is setup within the police to investigate a particular event. e.g. Task Force Piccadilly setup to investigate ATM thefts.

Another Term "Strike Force" is also used but it is supposed to sound more forceful but is really exactly the same meaning, e.g, Strike Force Piccadilly II re-formed to investigate the latest round of ATM thefts/explosions.

Think of the above as internal investigation groups within the police setup to investigate a specific activity and under the internal command of the Police.

Now, compare this to a Multi-Agency partnership(JIRT) setup to investigate child abuse in the community. This team might be located/based in an office building(to create a neutral ownership environment) and have say 5 Police Officers, 6 Department of Community Services case worker, 1 NSW Dept of Health worker etc. This JIRT team might have 2 team leaders (1 police and 1 DOCS) "in charge" or running the team.

Many of these JIRT teams have an additional separate computer database that can ONLY be accessed by members of the team/unit to ensure information is not accessed or leaked to someone within either organisation that may be the subject of, or may be seeking information about an investigation.

The above model can get complicated and is an example only, The Current NSW Model involves a LOT more than listed above and the different states call their child protection units different names. i.e.

Increased use of JIRT's were one of the recommendations of the Wood Royal Commission.

JIRT members are doing a job that will save a heap of work down the line when the young kids growing up ie Drug Addiction, Theft, B&E, Suicides, Mental Health and all the crimes that go along with the above. This is one group that could stop 50% of crime if they had the support, money and officers to up end the type of offender that JIRT are on the hunt for. I think it is one of the most mentally taxing job's in Australia and it will have most effect on crime numbers five or so years down the line. Stop the JIRT targets and the above crimes will plummet in the next 10 years. The problem is it is such a huge problem and these officers are on the back foot. So if you are a religious person offer one up for these people ever night as they are doing a mentally taxing and sole destroying job day in day out for less than $1000 in the hand a week. THANK YOU JIRT ! E-MC2
