By Performance Audit – Regulating Firearms
DATE: 27 November 2020
AUTHOR: Queensland Audit Office
Introduction
If people access firearms to harm themselves or others, if they use firearms unsafely, or if criminals gain access to firearms, the community is at risk.
In this audit we assessed how well the Queensland Police Service (QPS) regulates the acquisition, possession, use and disposal of registered firearms. We concluded that the QPS could be more effective and that the community is not as well protected as it should be.
