Mark Boothman MP Blog - Police

Before the election we made a promise to Queenslanders to boost the frontline with 1,600 new police recruits.

We’ve delivered on our promise in less than 18 months.

New laws to expand Adult Crime, Adult Time have just been introduced to Parliament.

We’ve just passed strong new youth bail monitoring laws to restore safety where you live.

Jack’s Law (Made Permanent) was named in honour of Jack Beasley who lost his life to knife crime, gives police the power to use hand-held scanners to detect deadly weapons anywhere and anytime in Queensland.

We’re introducing tough new youth bail monitoring laws so we can put GPS trackers on more youth criminals.
