This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Mark 'Trigger' Tregellas is a country copper through and through, and has served in various towns around Victoria during his three decades in the job.

They were tough towns full of tough people, and even though Mark is definitely among the toughest, he's managed to retain his sense of humour.

Mark has written a book called "Backup is Three Hours Away" and he joins us on Australian True Crime to tell us more about the time his life was saved by a truckload of Bega Cheese and many other examples of the unpredictable life of a country cop.
