With less than one week of the election campaign to go, the AFPA has today released its election scorecard of how the major parties’ policies are tracking in terms of their law and order policies.

AFPA welcomes commitment from ALP regarding Hobart Airport

This morning (Monday, 1 April 2019) the Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton MP
provided almost $6 million in confiscated proceeds of crime funding to support mental

The Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA) today launched #OPERATIONRESTORE, a campaign calling on the major political parties to commit to
restoring:

• Australian Federal Police (AFP) police numbers back to the 2013-2014 number
of 3,620 and,
• the AFP as a stand-alone agency.

World Mental Health Day is a reminder for us all to acknowledge the prevalence of mental health injuries confronted by members of the Australian Federal Police.
