Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases

Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business

The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

No, #QldPolice are dumb.

“This government data does not record any pedestrian or cyclist crashes on the Kurilpa Bridge, which opened in 2009, but 10 people were killed in crashes on the state’s roads during the September school holidays.”

Brisbane, Queensland - you are dumb. Bicycle riders must pedal slower than joggers or be fined: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/absurd-speed-limit-lands-460-fines-for-cyclists-even-joggers-overtook-them-20231003-p5e9e5.html #QldPol #QldLaw

“people with ideologies relating to capitalism, communism, socialism or Marxism”
What ideology are we allowed to have?

“The memo describes the at-risk groups as conspiracy theorists, religious, social or political extremists and sovereign citizens, as well as people with ideologies relating to capitalism, communism, socialism or Marxism…
“It describes the sovereign citizen movement as a group of people who are not motivated by a single issue but believe they are not subject to government laws.”

So this is how #MurdochGutterMedia what to play it, as a mother to a new recruit this ambush made me cry, for their young lives cut short, for their parents, I tell my son everyday to be careful he laughs & says he’ll be fine he has a good team…but this was an ambush by “sovereign citizens” this ideology has nothing to do with NAPLAN 🙄, it’s becoming a growing trend & I’m now terrified for my son. This blood is on the hands of all those pushing their misinformation, their conspiracy’s (already theorists are questioning this because the officer who survived smiled with his pregnant wife) ….I’m angry, angrier than I’ve ever been…this is on Trump, Musk, Murdoch & all you tin foil nut jobs….#policeshooting #Qldpolice #ambush

Queensland Police,
The roots of the problem are deep. From recruitment (Valuing brawn over brain and soul); to training and cultural awareness (tick box culture); to mentorship; to organisational structure (separation of duties); to technological controls(data privacy and monitoring); lack of shared mission and vision (philosophy); lack of respect for human rights (ethics vs politics); and lack of respect for transparency and accountability (protectionism of police over public).
Until more is publicly said about how Queensland Police will change, and reports published of the specific plans,
… everything that is said so far is akin to hollow promises that a repeat DVA offender says to their former partner(s).
Queensland Police as a collective have gaslighted and turned a blind eye to the problems for far too long for the public to take an apology on face value.

Queensland police leadership is facing up to uncomfortable truths after a series of damning inquiry findings, says senior cop

Assistant Commissioner Brian Codd says issues raised in several inquiries about toxic police culture and a "failure of leadership" have given senior police pause, but he's determined to rebuild public trust and improve attitudes and morale within the ranks.
