Not now, Not ever.
Today on White Ribbon Day, Commissioner Ian Stewart and Deputy Commissioners Brett Pointing, Steve Gollschewski and Ross Barnett signed the “Not now, Not ever” leadership pledge declaring their commitment to eliminate domestic and family violence in Queensland.
The pledge states that Queensland Police believe:
- domestic and family violence is never acceptable
- everyone has the right to feel safe and supported
- everyone has a responsibility to act.
Deputy Commissioner Brett Pointing is also a committee member of White Ribbon Queensland and he recently initiated invitations from senior members of the Queensland Police Service to become White Ribbon Ambassadors and Advocates.
This invitation resulted in 15 officers ranked from Deputy Commissioner to Inspector, being inducted at Parliament House in October as White Ribbon Ambassadors. Additionally, eight officers registered with White Ribbon Australia as White Ribbon Advocates.
