Victoria Police has moved to reassure the public that Wyndham’s Criminal Investigation Unit is fully staffed, after a decision to re-advertise eight vacant positions created by internal transfers last year.
Eight Detective Senior Constable positions were recently advertised in Wyndham, but Victoria Police decided to “to readvertise the positions based on a number of factors” while the recruitment process was under way.
Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said the people chosen for the eight detective positions would play an “integral role” in the community, investigating serious local crimes including sexual assaults, burglaries, and robberies.
“This is why we are committed to having the best possible candidates in these positions who can bring a wide range of insights and strengthen our capability to protect and best support victims of all ages, sexes, and backgrounds,” he said.
