Armed PSOs rammed through the upper house after midnight

JUSTICE LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (PROTECTIVE SERVICES OFFICERS) BILL 2011
Committee
 
Resumed from earlier this day; further discussion of clause 1.
 
Mr BARBER (Northern Metropolitan) -- I will pick up where Ms Pennicuik left off with Minister Dalla-Riva. In summary, the minister has told us that when operating in their designated place PSOs have a whole series of extra powers -- much like those of police officers -- and therefore they are getting extra training. However, they are not getting as much extra training as a full police officer. The minister has described how they go from 12 to 21 weeks of training, and the minister wants to tell us that in those extra weeks they get training in powers that make them the same as regular police officers.
 
Yet regular police officers get 33 weeks of training; therefore PSOs are not getting all the training that regular police are. Given that they have in these circumstances all the powers of police, we are trying to ascertain in what aspects of a regular police officer's job PSOs are not being trained.
