Mark Mitchell: Police Minister on new police recruits

View descriptionShare

The Police Minister says our Police force is 'world-class' after concerns were revealed about officers' preparedness.

A survey of training officers released to the Herald found 55 percent feel new cops were barely or not at all well equipped with knowledge of arrest and charge procedures. 

Mark Mitchell says told Ryan Bridge this is about probationary constables, who receive two years of supervision on the job.

He says policing is a unique job, and it's unrealistic to expect rookies to come out being experienced officers.
