Katarina Carroll was appointed police commissioner in 2019 becoming the first woman to hold the role in Queensland after serving as the commissioner of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service.
Queensland’s Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll has denied being a “scapegoat” as she announces she will step down from the top job next week.
She was appointed to the role in 2019, becoming the first woman in the position after serving as commissioner of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service.
Commissioner Carroll said it was her decision to step down and that it was time for “new leadership” to let the focus turn to the work of her officers.
Last week, Commissioner Carroll spoke to cabinet about youth crime, asking the government for more warrantless “wand” search powers, and an extension of GPS ankle monitors on young offenders.
Those murders, and the on-duty death of Senior Constable Dave Masters in June 2021, were her darkest days, she said.
Police Minister Mark Ryan said Commissioner Carroll had “kept her oath” to serve Queensland.
