Queensland police have renewed its tyre spike protocols following the death of senior constable David Masters.
The changes aim to ensure the health and safety of Queensland officers in the line of duty by requiring the authorisation of road spikes.
Officers will now record the authorisation and the factors that led to the setting up of road spikes before such a device is deployed.
Queensland police hope policy and procedure improvements will help reduce the safety risk of officers and the community.
