维多利亚州警方全面整顿行动,减少官僚作风,在犯罪增加和人员短缺的情况下增加前线人员。 Victoria Police to overhaul operations, cut bureaucracy, and boost frontline presence amid crime rise and staffing shortage.

维多利亚州警方在新任首席专员迈克·布什的领导下,正在进行一项重大改革,以解决1 000名警官短缺和犯罪率上升的问题,包括入室盗窃、劫车和刀暴力。 Victoria Police, under new Chief Commissioner Mike Bush, is launching a major overhaul to address a 1,000-officer shortfall and rising crime, including home break-ins, carjackings, and knife violence. 为了释放前线军官,部队将审判以文职人员取代在站台服务台宣誓的工作人员,并成立前军官和行政人员小组处理文书工作,每年可能节省140万小时。 To free up frontline officers, the force will trial replacing sworn staff at station desks with civilians and create teams of former officers and admin personnel to handle paperwork, potentially saving 1.4 million hours annually. 领导权将从6名副专员精简到4名副专员,新的24/7协调中心将能够对犯罪热点做出实时反应。 Leadership will be streamlined from six to four deputy commissioners, and a new 24/7 coordination center will enable real-time response to crime hotspots. 布什强调,必须产生持续的后果,以遏制犯罪,进行可能的强制性判刑改革,以及充分“恢复”在十多年后在没有重大改组的情况下重建公众信任。 Bush emphasized the need for consistent consequences to deter crime, possible mandatory sentencing reforms, and a full “reset” to rebuild public trust after over a decade without major restructuring. 这些修改将在几个月后开始,为期一年,根据最近保释法的修改和大砍刀禁令进行。 The changes, set to begin in months and take up to a year, follow recent bail law changes and a machete ban.
