Mr Speaker the Commissioner recently wrote to me indicating her intention to
00:04
retire by the end of the year. She will mark 38 years of service in the New
00:11
South Wales Police Force in coming weeks. She's indicated that to give effect to
00:17
her retirement plan she will resign as Commissioner on the 30th of September.
00:21
She has provided a lengthy notice period to enable the government to conduct a
00:27
thorough recruitment process for her successor. Commissioner Webb has had an
00:33
extremely extinguished career marked by exemplary service. I have nothing but
00:40
heartfelt thanks for her incredible work and admiration for her many significant
00:45
achievements. She has been a force for change and reform focused on the safety
00:52
and the well-being of the New South Wales Police. She will leave a
00:57
significant legacy and that includes for the house's benefit paid study for
01:04
student police officers. A historic pay rise for every police officer in New South
01:11
Wales. Full-time equivalent work allowing police officers for the very first time
01:18
to job share. Overseen the attestation of the largest class in 11 years and that
01:24
was just last week. She established the domestic and family violence register. She
01:32
took on head-on tackling regional crime through operational regional mongoose and
01:38
operation Ceteria. Delivered critical infrastructure upgrades including a new
01:44
police station at Helensburg and of course the health and well-being unit. Be a cop in
01:53
your hometown to recruit more officers in regional areas in our regional communities.
02:00
Establish Strike Force Pearl and Operation Shelter to tackle anti-semitic and hate crimes
02:07
right across this state. Operationalising new wanding laws to keep more knives off our streets. In 2024, Webb
02:19
apologised for the forces handling of gay hate crimes for over a period of 40 years in this state.
02:27
Pioneered the launch of revolutionary technology including Blue Link to
02:36
improve community safety and has driven the expansion of the family liaison
02:42
officers program to better support victims and families of victims of crime
02:48
including
03:02
driven the expansion of the family liaison officers, the FLOW program, to better support victims and
03:09
families of victims of crime including at events like Bondi Junction and the Greta bus crash.
03:15
Mr Speaker, when others would be happy to stick with the status quo, Karen Webb has strived for more.
03:26
She is a true trailblazer. The former Premier Dominic Perrottet and I didn't agree on some things but I certainly,
03:36
and I said it to him when he was here, the best decision he ever made was to announce that
03:42
Karen Webb was the Police Commissioner of New South Wales. On behalf of the New South Wales Government
03:49
and the people of New South Wales, I thank Karen Webb, our Commissioner for Police,
03:57
for her extraordinary career of self-sacrifice and public service. I thank the House.
04:03
law last year. Amen.
