Victoria Police Doubles Recruitment, Aims to Tackle Crime Surge
from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Victoria Police is expanding its ranks significantly, with a doubling of recruit intake to 1,300 per year, to address over 1,500 vacancies. This surge includes a fast-track program for 52 new recruits every two weeks. The move comes as crime stats hit a decade high, with increases in car thefts, youth offenses, and family violence. The force aims to boost frontline safety and retain experienced officers by reducing paperwork. The opposition also plans to add 3,000 officers, half from overseas, if they win the next election.
