Domestic Violence Case Management says that policing is not the “basic work ve and other agencies should play greater roles in this regard.

Queensland Police Service Tuesday 100 -day examination of operations and structureHe found that the police are the victims of the “important task crews ,, and that civil servants are increasingly in charge of non -core functions such as mental health intervention, domestic and domestic violence case management and prisoner transportation.

At a press conference on Tuesday morning – before the report was announced to the public – the acting police commissioner Shane Cheleepy said that the state said, “He changed the basic role of policing [addressing] Social Issues ”.

“If you look at family and family violence and mental health problems and other social issues, our role of policing has expanded to these social and social issues. What this report says is very important, but the police are not trained to do it,” he said.

Cheleepy said that the police force should better describe where the role of the role began and stopped.

When asked whether the domestic violence or a part of the response to mental health crises is out of “basic work ,, the police would still participate in interest, but would look for a clearer referral process to other agencies when we do our work and keep society safe”.

Authorized, “Sargalar Services to reduce the calls for the service again” should be a bigger role, he said.

“The truth is that the police have to make police. We are there to keep the community safe… In this response, there is a time when the best support to the public member is not a police officer, but a time when another organization expert.”

Police Minister, a former police, Dan Purdie, returning to the detection and prevention of resources, will help QPS’nin focusing on the priorities of the fight against crime, “he said.

Orum I look forward to working with other ministers and these departments through the cabinet, and in the same way, to build better systems that will help the police to focus their attention on fighting crime, ”he said.

“We need to create this capacity.”

Purdie said the government has already invested in other institutions to get loose.

“Whether child safety problems or mental health problems, our police cannot arrest this problem,” he said.

The government recently brought legislation to the parliament to reduce the burden of documents on the police, which responded to domestic violence, – this was understood that it represented a large part of her time.

“I want to see that places like children’s safety have made a 7/24 squad as the police do,” Prior said.

“I want the Ministry of Health to start dealing with this mental health problem that we have taken in society and that we are not on the feet of the police. Things should change.”
