When former Queensland Police Setective Keith Banks joined the force, he thought he was signing up to fight crime, not work alongside it.

In this episode of Crime Insiders Detectives, Keith takes host Brent Sanders inside the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs, where power, loyalty and fear ruled the streets. But the real danger, he says, was within the Queensland Police itself. During the era of the infamous “Rat Pack,” corruption ran deep, and it took the Fitzgerald Inquiry to finally drag it into the light.

Keith reveals what it was like leading the bikie intelligence unit during Queensland’s most corrupt chapter of policing, the price he paid for speaking out, and how the trauma of policing left him with PTSD.
