Commissioner Katarina Carroll said that the prevalence of domestic and family violence (DFV) in the community is significant, with our police attending over 260 DFV related calls for service each day.
“I would like to thank the Queensland Police Service’s, Domestic, Family Violence and Vulnerable Persons Command for coordinating this collection as it provides victims with some much needed comfort in a time of need,” Commissioner Carroll said.
