Victoria Police Launch Local Satellite Training Site

Victoria Police to Launch New Satellite Training Site: Chief Fiona Wilson announces the upcoming launch of a new satellite training site at their headquarters, aiming to handle a surge in new officers. The self-funded facility, approved by the province, will follow the Justice Institutes curriculum and bring in local instructors. This setup will reduce recruitment costs and accommodate single parents or caregivers. The department also plans to boost numbers with part-time roles for retirees and increase the budget for new patrol spots and a crime reduction team.
