No boost in frontline police in NT budget despite NTPA survey showing officers are stretched

NT Police Association Acting President Lisa Bayliss says she’d hoped for a boost to frontline workers in the Territory budget but it wasn’t the case.

She told Katie Woolf members are stretched, with many working overtime to get the job done resulting in burnout.

Ms Bayliss has also questioned the allocation of $19 million for a new police station in Peppimenarti, with a review into staff resources still underway.
