According to a damning report report, the Queensland Police Service is under fire for being ‘submissive and lacking strategic vision and leadership.’

“Over the years, certainly things have become a bit a bit blurred for them as far as the tasks go, and the end result is the increase in crime,” The Former Commissioner continued.
