Episode Details

Labor’s bold plan to add 1,500 police officers in Victoria—bringing the total force to over 17,000—is set to tackle a critical recruitment bottleneck. With applications at a five-year high, the real hurdle is training capacity, currently strained by reliance on one academy. To fix it, Labor’s proposal includes building a new training hub in Wyndham, upgrading the existing academy, and expanding facilities in Mildura and Gippsland. They’re also fast-tracking defense and protective services applicants. The police union applauds the move, calling it long overdue and vital for easing pressure on frontline officers.
