Inspector Mel Dwyer, the Head of the Domestic Family Violence Training Portfolio, Qld Police Service, set out the plans, strategies and trials of co-responder models currently underway in Qld. While on paper they look good, members of the audience questioned whether the QPS has a capability to put them into place without collaborating more broadly with the domestic and sexual violence sectors. The adequacy of the in-house training was also queried. Questions and answers were not recorded. Listen for yourself. What do you think?
This speech was recorded at the Enhancing policing and integrated responses to domestic and sexual violence workshop, co-hosted by Kerry Carrington and the University of the Sunshine Coast 21 October 2022. You can listen to it by clicking the link below.
