Solo highway patrol officers return in controversial trial
Victoria Police has confirmed plans for a trial to redeploy solo highway patrol officers on major roads, with officers operating in separate cars but in close proximity to each other for greater visible presence. The Police Association has strongly opposed the decision, warning of serious safety risks to officers. Solo patrols were abolished in 2015 following the death of an officer in the line of duty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
