WAPU remains committed to supporting our NSW colleagues following the horrific Bondi terrorist attack on Sunday night.

Constable Scott Dyson and Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert remain in intensive care after being shot while engaging the offender. Both face extended hospital stays and lengthy rehabilitation.

We also acknowledge retired police officer Peter Meagher, who tragically lost his life while working as a photographer at the event.

Please support Scott and Jack through NSW Police Legacy appeals:
🔗 Scott Dyson Appeal: https://www.policelegacynsw.org.au/scott-dyson-appeal
🔗 Jack Hibbert Appeal: https://www.policelegacynsw.org.au/jack-hibbert-appeal

Both officers are determined to recover and return to the job they love.

Our thoughts remain with Scott, Jack, Peter's family, and all affected by this tragedy.

Standing together. Always.

WAPU stands in solidarity with our New South Wales Police family and the wider community following the devastating events in Bondi today.

The courage shown by members of the New South Wales Police Force - who consistently run towards danger to protect their community - cannot be overstated.

Our thoughts are with the two officers who were injured and we wish them a full and speedy recovery.

4,000 extra shifts rostered this summer.
Family and Domestic Violence Teams now working 7 days.

But somehow
500 recruits have gone missing from the Academy pipeline.
And keeping experienced officers is still a battle.

WA Police Officers continue to hold the line, but the line is thinning by the day.

Government has had two years to fix PTSD protections. Two years of talk. Two years of excuses. Two years of officers being left to fend for themselves. Every day without a decision is another day WA police are abandoned by their own government.

Enough cowardice, enough delays. Show some leadership and deliver what was promised.

The 89th Annual Conference has come to a close, and what an incredible few days it has been! This year's theme, Together We Stand, set the stage for meaningful discussions as delegates addressed critical motions on the key issues facing our Members.

A huge thank you to all attendees, speakers, and sponsors who made it a success.

To finish, we'd like to express our gratitude to all of our Members who are out on the frontline every day keeping our community safe. We recognise and appreciate you.

Basil Zempilas MLA and Adam Hort MLA addressed our Annual Conference yesterday on behalf of the Liberal Party. With Premier Roger Cook absent from the conference, it was good to hear from the opposition. They highlighted where the Labor Party isn't recognising our Members, particularly around public holidays and the challenges of modern policing.

Premier Cook’s absence from our Annual Conference was more than disappointing, it was a statement.

While police across WA are stretched to breaking point, the Premier couldn’t find time to face the very people who keep this state safe.

Our delegates stood united, holding signs directed at the Minister for Police, calling out the Government’s ongoing failures: understaffing, inequity, unsafe workloads, and a system that too often leaves officers carrying the cost.

If the Government won’t front up to police, then these messages will. Our Members deserve answers... not avoidance.

We've officially kicked off our 89th Annual Conference.

WAPU President Dave Flaherty welcomed delegates, directors, and staff. The conference was also addressed by Minister for Police, Reece Whitby, and the Commissioner of Police, Col Blanch.

We expressed our dismay and disappointment at Premier Cook's late withdrawal from our conference - a clear indication that our Members are not a priority for this government.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.
