In an internal review conducted by the GPS Bail Project team, Queensland Police Service officers lack training when responding to bail breaches conducted by adults with serious crimes fitted with electronic monitoring devices.
The QPS denied the lack of training, saying disruptions caused by COVID-19 last year suspended operations. They also state the service was pushed to the limit, due to increased calls for assistance in midst of the pandemic.
The GPS Bail Project coordinator says the EMD information guides are in the process of being compiled until the necessary training and support can be provided.
