Just as Kiwis were capable of changing attitudes to child abuse, Drew says maybe another debate is needed around the most common cause of preventable crimes. He later worked in the car squad, fraud squad, drug squad, undercover programmes, and as Wairarapa area commander. He packs up during a week where the sickening death of Moko Rangitoheriri​ reignites child abuse debates. But basics of good detective work remain, he says.
