Long-term neglect of Police infrastructure has led to health and safety concerns at a number of stations nationwide.
The Police Association says issues range from areas being off-limit because of black mould, to leaky walls and roofs, nailed-up windows, and lockers housed in toilet cubicles.
Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that this isn’t this government’s problem.
He said that it’s an infrastructure problem that should be planned for over the next 40-50 years, not the three-year election cycles.
Cahill said that most of the stations around the country were built in the 60’s, and are at the end of their lives.
