Labor has recruited the largest police force in the nation.
Labor is also building and upgrading more stations across the state to keep Victorians safe.
Minister Edbrooke today opened the brand-new South Melbourne Police Station on Dorcas Street.
Spanning two floors, the station will boost local police numbers to put more officers on the street responding to crime.
Purpose-built facilities include dedicated training spaces, interview rooms and modern processing facilities.
This will help officers spend less time on paperwork and more time on the beat.
A secure public foyer also delivers a safe entry point for Victorians visiting the station during counter hours.
The new station is part of Labor's record boost to Victoria Police with 19 new stations delivered and another 15 upgraded since coming to Government.
This builds on the 200 extra PSOs and 400 reservists Labor has funded to boost frontline policing.
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will go further by recruiting an additional 1,500 officers.
Labor will also open a new police academy in Melbourne's west, increase training capacity and speed up recruitment so more police can graduate sooner.
Labor will always give police the powers and resources they need to fight crime and keep Victorians safe.
Jess Wilson's Liberal-One Nation Coalition only has a plan to make $40 billion in cuts.
That only means one thing: cuts to the police and courts that are holding criminals to account.
As stated by Minister for Police Paul Edbrooke
"Labor is putting more police on our streets deterring crime and helping people feel safe."
"We have Australia's biggest police force and we're giving them what they need to keep Victorians safe."
As stated by Member for Albert Park Nina Taylor
"Our community deserves to feel safe, and we're making sure local police have the resources they need to keep it that way."
