Drugs, Guns & Lies

A story from the inside when Queensland had the most corrupt police force in the country. This is what it's really like to be an undercover police officer.

Keith Banks BM, VA and Bar is one of Queensland’s most decorated police officers having joined as an idealistic 17 year old in 1975 and serving as an operational member of the Queensland Police until 1995.

This is the true story of the first 10 years of his service, during which he volunteered for one of the most dangerous areas in policing: deep undercover duty penetrating drug rings and living under several false identities.

Not only was the work dangerous; Keith and his undercover colleagues were working in the most corrupt era of Queensland’s history, where not everyone with a badge could be trusted.

Drugs, Guns & Lies is a moving, confronting and utterly compelling story of all the undercover cops who became casualties of that era, living in a world that no one else understood.
