The Crisafulli Government has increased frontline police numbers by 240 in its first 200 days.

The Queensland Police Service also recorded its lowest unplanned attrition rates in two and a half years.

Queensland Police Union President, Shane Prior, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, “The retention numbers are really encouraging.”

“Every additional officer on the front line is there to help the community arrest offenders and make people feel safe.”

“That’s why they’ve joined. They joined to serve their community,” Mr Prior continued.
