How many times have we heard the Police say that they are understaffed?
Since 2007 when I founded Residents Against Crimes I had a 2 hour meeting with the then Police Minister Judy Spence in her Brisbane office and during that meeting I stressed to her that Cairns needed more police due to the crime rate and under staffing.
I then invited her up to a meeting with residents and she was told in no uncertain terms that we needed more police.
Well prior to the Government Parliamentary sitting in cairns in October, 2008 it was announced that Cairns would get 12 extra police following that we have had a number of new recruits stationed here in Cairns and the surrounding area for which we are grateful but we still need more.
We need to support the Boys & Girls in blue as they are there to protect us but unless they get more officers and public support that protection may slowly decrease.
Please support them by having you say.
