Staff shortages caused by 800 vacancies, 900 sick on long-term sick leave means 43 stations are forced to close at night, and many struggle just to get patrols on the road. Community safety is being put at risk.

THIS GOVERNMENT IS NEGLECTING THIS CRISIS
Instead of attracting new recruits and trying to retain existing officers, Victoria Police and this government are slashing police services. Police are working thousands of unpaid overtime shifts which are burning them out. What’s more, the government is relying on police officers to work for free to provide basic policing services. Off duty police can’t keep filling shifts without rest.
The facts:- 71% of Police have reported reaching burnout
- 64% frequently think about leaving
- 1 in 4 report they will leave in the next year
YOU CAN HELP US HELP YOU
We swear an oath to protect you. But we’re struggling to fill shifts and meet our obligations. By signing our petition or emailing your local MP, you’re telling VicPol and the Allan Government to make community and Police safety a priority.
