Police stations won’t reopen despite a $62 million recruitment boost

Victoria Police Chief Mike Bush announced that local police stations operating at reduced hours will not reopen, despite a $62 million deal to rehire retired officers. The plan will bring 200 officers back but will not restore station hours, reflecting ongoing staff shortages since late 2023. Community members prefer officers to engage directly on the streets rather than at desks.
