Statement on the retirement of NSW Police | Australian Markets

Commissioner Karen Webb will probably be farewelled at Goulburn in the present day after an extraordinary 38-year profession with the NSW Police Force.

On behalf of the NSW Government, I thank her for her many years of self-sacrifice and repair to the people of this state.

Commissioner Webb has been a power for change, reaching landmark reform that may go away a lasting legacy on the NSW Police Force.

Joining the NSWPF in May 1987, she has held each rank in the NSWPF, working throughout General Duties and Specialist Commands in each metro and regional NSW.

Under her management, we have now launched vital recruitment and retention measures together with delivering a once-in-a-generation pay rise for police, paying recruits to coach and establishing pathways for regional recruits to return to the bush and skilled officers to switch from interstate and New Zealand to the NSWPF.

Commissioner Webb’s dedication to tackling one of society’s most shameful crimes – home and household violence – is to be recommended.

Under her command, the NSWPF now have the solely Domestic and Family Violence Registry in Australia, a Domestic Violence Liaison officer in each Police Area Command and District, the strongest cooperation with WDVCAS employees in our buildings and a lot more.

Her achievements are an enduring legacy for how NSW Police will deal with home violence for many years to come back

Commissioner Webb’s drive to modernise the power for the twenty first century could have a lasting impression on our police and neighborhood.

At in the present day’s Attestation Parade for new recruits in Goulburn the Commissioner will ‘march off’ the parade ground a little over 38 years after she herself attested on the identical ground.

It is becoming she does so along with her head held high as we welcome the largest class of recruits in more than a decade to the power – a end result of her reforms to police recruitment and retention. Commissioner Webb has a great deal to be proud of in her long and exemplary police profession. We all owe her a big debt of gratitude.

Congratulations Commissioner Webb.
