Despite damning findings into police responses to victims, only three more domestic violence officer positions have been approved in recent months.
Only three more domestic violence officer positions have been approved by Queensland police in recent months while victims reporting multiple breaches feel they are being dismissed “with a tut-tut”.
“We’ve got people in those situations calling up and reporting and the breach doesn’t get acted on, either by police, or when it does get brought by police to court, the magistrates dismiss it again with a tut-tut.The QPS said it was working on an unprecedented program of reforms following the inquiry, and has established a Domestic Family Violence sub-program as part of work being done by the independent Office of the Special Coordinator for Police and Emergency Services Reform.
However, Carroll said following the inquiry, the QPS had shifted to a victim-centric and trauma-informed approach when responding to domestic violence.A QPS spokeswoman said hundreds of extra positions would be funded to provide specialist support, advocacy and liaison services for people affected by domestic violence.
“Change takes time. But really, that investment in training and investment in actually getting people into roles is such a dire need,” she says.
