MAKING INGHAM SAFER

Government Delivers New Police Officers To Frontline

The Government is strengthening the police frontline, with 118 new officers graduating in Queensland. A strong cohort has headed into the Northern Region, including Ingham, providing immediate support for the Hinchinbrook community.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said today’s graduation reflects the Government’s commitment to giving Queensland Police the resources and backing they deserve.

“These new officers will bolster the incredible work already being done by hardworking police across Queensland, particularly here in the North and in the Hinchinbrook electorate,” Minister Purdie said.

Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski congratulated the new constables, recognising their determination and resilience throughout an intensive training program.

“Our graduating officers are not only the future of policing, they will be the foundation of safer, stronger regional communities,” Commissioner Gollschewski said.
