As the first female police commissioner, Karen Webb APM has left an undeniable positive mark on the New South Wales Police Force and the landscape of policing in NSW.
The Police Association of NSW worked closely with Commissioner Webb to achieve several significant outcomes for police officers in NSW, including paying recruits at the NSW Police Academy and an unprecedented pay rise and enhanced conditions to retain currently serving officers.
As a long-serving PANSW member, we congratulate her on 38 years of policing and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
We now look to the Government to move swiftly and to immediately start the process of appointing a new Commissioner to continue the work of recruiting and retaining our police to ensure that the community of NSW is safe and has respect for our men and women in blue.
The PANSW will make no further comment in order for the Premier to make an independent decision on his choice for the new Commissioner.
