New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has confirmed security contracts will remain part of the state's hotel quarantine strategy but maintained audits would see guards who "aren't up to scratch" removed. Mr Fuller said the state's hotel system would continue to use security guards as its second-tier of security, ensuring NSW Police and ADF personnel would remain in a primary enforcement role.
"If for some reason security guards are creating issues for the safety of people in NSW, I have absolute confidence in approaching the government and looking at a different type of second-tier security," he said. "Four weeks ago I put in for an additional $30 million in funding to assist police for hotel operations and that was granted. "The hotel op will continue with police being in charge supported by Defence and the second tier of security will be those security guards.
