Chris Cahill: Police Association President says governments need to step up and support Police

Published: March 12, 2024, 8:10 p.m.

The union representing Police says the minister needs to do more to support officers.\xa0

It comes after the Police Association dubbed the Government's latest pay offer as "insulting".\xa0

They rejected the government\u2019s offer in September 2023, and were presented with the same offer on Friday, which due to the amount of time passed, is now worth about $2000 less.\xa0

President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that Police Minister Mark Mitchell, a former officer himself, is putting extra work on them, so needs to pay up.\xa0

He says while Mitchell is a good advocate for Police, he campaigned on law and order so now needs to compensate them.\xa0
