Great news for the Redfern Police department, when the announcement that 56 new officers would join the station to combat riots and other crime problems. Many have said that this long overdue and it is great to see some improvement in the problem. The article by the SMH also states that this is not a pre-empted move from the upcoming findings in the enquiry into the death of TJ Hickey, and nor should it be. The police have been given a much harder time prior to this and so the move was needed well before this incident.
