NSW Police is bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation costs and millions more for court cases from former officers damaged not only by their service but by the culture of the organisation.
The number of police suffering mental health issues, going off work and onto workers compensation has risen 50 per cent in the five years to 2019-20. NSW Police made 3369 workers compensation claims last year and more than one in five of those was for mental health reasons.
