Queensland’s police watch houses continue to experience severe overcrowding nearly a year after an internal review highlighted the issue. The Queensland Police Union reports that this ongoing situation poses significant risks to both police officers and individuals held in custody. Despite government commitments to address the problems and implement system-wide changes, conditions have not substantially improved. The union contends that the overcrowding creates a dangerous environment and strains resources. This lack of progress raises concerns about the safety and wellbeing of those within the watch houses. The government has yet to respond to the latest criticisms from the police union regarding the continued issues.
