“The Queensland State Budget will deliver a greatly enhanced capacity for police to respond to high risk scenarios with three new armoured cars to be located around the state,” Police Minister Mark Ryan said.
“Police are required at times to operate in extremely dangerous, dynamic and highly unpredictable environments.
“Queensland’s specialist police teams are trained to elite levels of performance and they deserve the equipment and resources to support their vital work protecting the community.
“The government has committed to adding another heavy armoured vehicle to the Police Service’s emergency response capability.
“In addition, the fleet of Light Armoured Vehicles will be expanded by three.
“Furthermore, four from the existing fleet of Light Armoured Vehicles will be renewed.
“These are significant investments but they will support police and support community safety.
“It is therefore imperative that police are provided with the hardware and resources that support their work and allow them to go about that work as safety as possible,” Mr Ryan concluded.
Over the past 18 months Queensland Police have shot an estimated 11 people in the line of duty. A number of readers and the media have questioned why so many have been shot and killed when other means of disarming an alleged assailant could have been used.
Queensland and Australian Police Union President Ian Leavers once said on ABC Radio “the only people who should own guns are police” so it is from this perspective that union members could get partial mind conditioning and comfort.
“We always want the best resources for police and I thank Minister Mark Ryan, the Treasurer and Premier for again delivering for the frontline,” Mr Leavers said.
“Police are already benefitting from the rollout of new personalised Integrated Load Bearing (bullet proof) Vests that provide significant protection from bladed weapons and firearms.
“The addition of a new Bearcat and multiple light armoured vehicles will provide protection for police during critical incidents.
“We hope this armour is rarely required but if it is our specialists need the best equipment and the most advanced technology available to ensure the continuing safety of the Queensland community.”
Once upon a time most Queensland police officers could easily take a knife from an offender because they had been trained properly at the Petrie Terrace Police Barracks.. Today lightweight police girls trained at Oxley can barley hold up a 1.3 kg Glock pistol let alone fire it accurately and would have no chance of physically disarming a knife-wielding offender.
Perhaps a legitimate excuse these days not to engage in combat would be confronting drug-affected offenders who can develop immense strength and agitation from consuming the drug ice.
Police Training at Oxley and Townsville Academies
From the recruit training website:
”Recruit training develops competent, ethical, efficient and effective police officers who are motivated, responsible and aware of community needs. Recruits examine problems taken from everyday policing situations that allow them to develop appropriate decision-making skills to solve operational policing issues. In addition, recruits undergo extensive training in physical skills, driving, firearms and field craft.
“Swimming will also be assessed (if the 100m, fully clothed swim was not successfully completed at QPS Recruit Entry Fitness Assessment) and first aid proficiency will be required before graduation from the academy.”
There is no mention of combat training as done previously.
In the recent shootings in most cases at least three shots reportedly were fired at victims. Several died from multiple shots fired by more than one officer.
A .40 calibe slug from a 13 round, police Glock, semi-auto pistol has a great deal of stopping power using 180 grain projectiles. It develops muzzle energy of 388 foot pounds and has a muzzle velocity of 985 feet per second. One body shot would be sufficient to disable or even kill any assailant.
In comparison a .22 rimfire round has a projectile weight of 40 grains and an average muzzle velocity of 1300 feet per second.

Former Cairns News contributor and NSW political roundsman Gil Hanrahan, came out of retirement to send us this story. Gil had overseas military training which has given an insight to police operations.
ROTFL. I recall a young bus driver recruit who had left the police force to join the bus company because of stress. I was talking to him some 3 or 4 months months later and he had just resigned. He had his old policeman’s job back. Bus driving was too stressful.
Hey, folks, being a copper is a pretty cush job and well paid. Why all this armour for handling 80+ YO nursing home residents in Queensland? They’re preparing for more lockdowns and scamdemics.

Food for thought for our serving POLICE
I’ve always had respect for our genuine police here in Australia and worldwide that don’t want to be controlled by politicians and just want to get on with their job. ‘The job’ is not an easy one and you get very little thanks when you do the right thing.
That said, maybe the QPS would benefit to focus more on these ‘targets’ (symbols) to protect our little children from pedophiles instead of turning a blind eye, and arse licking for corrupt politicians that don’t give a shit about you, but give orders to lock up people like Dr. William Bay that is a doctor standing by his oath to protect his patients…
“He was using a mega phone and disrupting the peace you say.”
…Well maybe if you LISTENED to what he was saying, he wouldn’t feel the need to use this device.
For FUCK sake QPS, you have the balls to rock up to the most horrific ‘scenes of crime’ that most of the public couldn’t bare to face. Surely you have the balls to stand up to the corrupt filth politicians that have absolutely no respect for you, me or the rest of Australia because we are all just useless eaters thanks to their masters the WEF, NWO and UN. .
Are you just going to sit back and put up with this bullshit until you are replaced by Elon Musk brain chipped AI robo cops.
This will all end now and it starts with you standing by your oath to protect civilians
You swore an oath to protect the public, just like Dr William Bay.
It took him a while, but he is standing by his oath …are you
Wake the FUCK UP!
I am so sick of this shit
Re current news… which I have turned off in disgust. Power prices going up due to the Callide Power Station still being offline.. Something blew up there in 2021 which they are STILL investigating and then something broke down last year. And costs of repair are going up. Why hasn’t this been a priority to fix?
Why don’t they spend the money to fix that instead on these armoured vehicles. Also the money sent to the Nazis could have gone towards that. The government’s priorities are not where they should be.
People should be asking a lot of questions about this power station!!
I agree with Janicew37..
So are they going to be used for future crowd control, as in against civilians?
And I have always wondered when they shoot people who only have a knife and are some distance away, why do they always shoot to kill and not to just wound?
David said – “… Queensland Police (ABN 29 409 225 509)…”
Thanks for the info…
Folks, EVERYONE should be all over this like a CHEAP SUIT. There’s simply NO EXCUSE for NOT KNOWING, because the info is sitting there in PLAIN VIEW for anyone who cares to actually LOOK.
Here’s CONFIRMATION of the listing of the so-called “Queensland Police Service” as a CORPORATION…
[ https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View/29409225509 ]
And – like it or not – here’s confirmation that the CORPORATION trading as the “Queensland Police Service” has PRIVATE SHAREHOLDERS…
[ https://creditorwatch.com.au/credit/profile/29409225509/QUEENSLAND-POLICE-SERVICE ]
Want to find out WHO those PRIVATE SHAREHOLDERS are? Surprise! You have to PAY for that information.
BTW, note from the second link, the Business Names used by the CORPORATION trading as the “Queensland Police Service”…
1. Queensland Police Service
2. Nhwq Business Name
3. Neighbourhood Watch Queensland
Are YOU part of “Neighborhood Watch Queensland”?
Bet you DIDN’T KNOW that makes you a SUBSIDIARY of the CORPORATION trading as the “Queensland Police Service”.
FOLKS, WAKE UP!
These genocidal Nazi arseholes assualting, shooting and KILLING us are working for a PRIVATE CORPORATION owned by PRIVATE SHAREHOLDERS, and FOREIGN shareholders at that.
They have no more “authority” to be doing ANYTHING than the low-paid security guard working down at your local Coles supermarket.
WAKE UP!
Converting the Queensland Police (ABN 29 409 225 509) to private military contractors should come as no surprise. You may have thought the Bjelke/Lewis period was a bit grim, so get used to the State Government enforcement gang. I was wondering where the money from Fines and Penalties was going. Then I found out that Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street own shares. Perhaps the QLD State Treasurer can show us the total revenue received and the spending allocation for these funds?
Interesting. I have not seen any violence in this area that would require any police presence,Let alone a response such as this . Oh yes a 95 year ols Taseres .Such big brave police.Let alone aged care workers ..Are you turning into chickens ? Most of the aged care workers I know are well trained professionals and can control almost any situation.
We really have to consider the true purpose here, which of course not what they say it is.Let us not forget, our army was/is training how to control crowds, in not too kindly a fashion from what I saw. Wow, could that be us ?
I heard from a reliable source, by the year 2030, there will be a population of 9 million. in this country. What are they going to do with the rest of us ?
But of course Bill Gates said , ” If we work it right .etc we could lower the population by .. oh what ever takes his fancy. Naturally not him and his mates. It is always we peasants. /and all the clones doing the bidding of the NWO , somehow think they will be safe. The New Leaders will not trust traitors, they know if anyone sells out their own country and people, what is there to trust ?
Nah. I believe it is them and us,more like them against us. Paranoia ? Don’t think so.
Who are the people who put this idea forward, who agreed, and who passed it ? Got any names anyone ? I have not seen it mentioned before,did I miss it ?
I really am beginning to feel like a target
Quoting the article quotes – “Police are required at times to operate in extremely dangerous, dynamic and highly unpredictable environments.”
… you mean like facing off against 95 year old women in walking frames?
Oh, right, that’s NSW.
And another quote – “Queensland’s specialist police teams are trained to elite levels of performance…”
… you mean like tasering and murdering 95 year old women in walking frames?
Oh, right, that’s NSW.
Yet another quote – “… and they deserve the equipment and resources to support their vital work protecting the community.”
… you mean like protecting the community from dangerous 95 year old women in walking frames by tasering and murdering them?
Oh, right, that’s NSW.
More quotes – “Recruit training develops competent, ethical, efficient and effective police officers who are motivated, responsible and aware of community needs.”
… you mean like the need to kill 95 year old ladies in walking frames?
Oh, right, that’s NSW.
Okay, now this is getting tedious – “Recruits examine problems taken from everyday policing situations that allow them to develop appropriate decision-making skills to solve operational policing issues.”
…you mean like figuring out how to kill a 95 year old lady in a walking frame without actually getting hurt yourself?
Oh, right, that’s NSW.
And the quotes just keep coming – “Police are investigating the accidental shooting of an officer during a gun training session in rural Queensland.”
Oh, NOW I get it – the Queensland cops specialise in shooting their OWN.
Sacrifice a couple new recruits here, false flag a few new recruits there – it’s all for a good cause, after all, and the end justifies the means – and we have all the justification we need to arm the private QLD Gestapo army of hired Nazi stooges TO THE TEETH.
And here’s the hard core – “In the recent shootings in most cases at least three shots reportedly were fired at victims. Several died from multiple shots fired by more than one officer.”
… and there’s the rub – none of those Gestapo victims deserved to die at the hands of a bunch of hired Nazi thugs.
But that’s the whole POINT, isn’t it?
The private Gestapo armies of hired Nazi mall-cop wannabes are armed to the teeth specifically to KILL us – ALL of us, if they get the chance, which they’re so very eager to do.
And they all look forward to doing their “job”, because being the sadistic homicidal Nazi thugs that they are, they enjoy beating up and shooting law-abiding people and killing little old ladies in walking frames so very very much.
Need we even mention?
There ARE no “good cops”, only genocidal psychopaths who couldn’t hold down a job counting marbles in the real world.
No money for more ambulances (jab cabs) homeless or drug rehabs but keep paying Uncle Sams bills with purchases from the Military Industrial Complex oh yeah! Don’t mention the submarines fgs
The Queensland government is NOT worried about public safety…the more of us that die…the better, according to Bill Gates who tells Albo how to run the country.
Albo passes on his master’s messages to the states as they are all in this together, aren’t they?
Queensland is fast becoming a Carlton police state…..the state where communist laws restricting freedom have NOT been passed in parliament but they are doing it anyway, all in preparation for when the Voice, Digital Id and cashless have been passed.
I never thought I would live to see the day when we would be under harsh communist
control…I thought we were the safest country in the world.
Inch by inch our freedom is being taken away….micro chipping and credit system next….FOR OUR SAFETY???????
At the Battle of Long Tan the APC helped save the day for the Aussies – great for combat, full on assault, great scene in Danger Close.
So this Bear Cat / APC – there is an important message here to Mr and Ms and LGBTQ+ Australian soviet citizens from the Australian Communist government.
