In 2018 S/Sgt Tritton won the Courier Mail Scholarship which provided funds to travel and research Super-Recognisers who had been utilised in the London Met since 2011. As a result of his research in London and at the University of NSW he commenced a trial to identify the first Super-Recognisers in the Police Service ranks and with a team of 20 have identified over 1100 suspects and vulnerable people around the state.
