Almost 100 new submissions have been made to the inquiry after members of the Queensland Police Service were encouraged to speak out.
A “significant overhaul” of Queensland’s domestic and family violence legislation is needed, Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll says, as an inquiry into the service has received almost 100 submissions in a week.
“Assessment of the resources required to implement the recommendations from this commission of inquiry, as well as the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce, will form part of the QPS’ standard cabinet budget processes. She said the QPS was working with Queensland Treasury Corporation to identify the future resourcing requirements needed.The cabinet budget review committee decided funding would be set aside for the QPS pending further government consideration, including $17.5 million over four years and $4.4 million for all police staff to have better education and training on domestic and family violence and coercive control.
Carroll also said a survey instigated by the inquiry found 25 per cent of officers received positive feedback from victims they had helped.
