More Questions For Recruiting Standards Review

“Latest media reports about data apparently being omitted from one of two conflicting reports on recruiting standards, reinforce the need to get to the bottom of the facts,” Police Association President Greg O'Connor said today.

 “The two reports can’t both be right.  Media reports today raise questions about the factual basis of the ‘all’s well’ version, but none of us will know the full story until the review commissioned by the Minister of Police is complete.”

 “Until then, the unfortunate effect of this ongoing controversy is that an unfair shadow is cast over all recruits.  I know first-hand that the vast majority of recruits graduating from the College are excellent quality and will serve the Police and the community well,” Mr O’Connor said.

 “Police officers and members of the public need to know the same thing: that new recruits joining the frontline are up to scratch.  We need now to ensure that Dr George is able to produce a thorough and credible report that settles the issue once and for all,” Mr O’Connor said.
