Chris Cahill: Police Association President on the hiring freeze in response to Government cuts

More issues are arising within the Police force.  In an effort to meet the Government’s cost cuts, indefinite restrictions have been placed on the recruiting of non-sworn staff.  The Police Association has said that the freeze on hiring backroom staff will trickle over and impact the front line.  Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that you have to be really careful.  Without the backroom staff there would be no one to answer emergency calls or sort administration.  There are some real pressure points, he said.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
