State Government to Begin $15.6M Security Upgrade at Joondalup Police Academy
What happened
The state government is proceeding with a $15.6 million upgrade to the police academy located in Joondalup, which is scheduled to begin next month. This action follows warnings from the WA Police Union regarding security at the facility, where public access is currently largely unrestricted. The union reported that almost 75 per cent of academy staff were concerned about public access, and one in four staff members reported witnessing or experiencing threats from the public while at the academy.

Why it matters
The upgrade includes installing a perimeter fence and adding 44 accommodation units to the complex. This represents a significant government investment in local infrastructure and security measures for the Joondalup area.
