Vic: Ashby goes on offensive, maintaining innocence = 2

Mr OVERLAND has accused Mr ASHBY of using an accusation the Police Association has
been running for many .. many years .. but which is not factually accurate.

He says he doesn't think Mr ASHBY is a credible source .. but it's up to the people to decide.

He says while the number of officers has reduced .. transit and traffic safety results
have improved.

And he says overall the vast majority of the 15 hundred and 50 new officers in the
force since 1999 have gone into operational roles.
