STRONGER TOGETHER
Conference 2021 provided a key opportunity for your representatives to meet and discuss key policing priorities following our recent member survey. Wednesday 8 September saw Delegates from around the Territory workshop a large quantity of survey data to provide clear outcomes in terms of our negotiating position for the 2022 Consent Agreement. In addition, other key policing issues were discussed including resourcing pressures and the affects of increased COVID related duties on other core policing functions. Please turn to page 30 for a snapshot summary of our most recent survey.
