This morning the Minister for Police and Corrective Services Mark Ryan MP joined the Queensland Police Service to deliver an important message to all parents, caregivers and educators as part of Safer Internet Day.
“The investigators within Queensland Police Service’s Argos and child protection officers across the state do a job not many of us could. They investigate internet facilitated crimes against children,” Minister Ryan said.
“Over the years, the team has seen the worst crimes and witnessed these atrocities captured across hundreds and thousands of images and videos. They have seen the pain, the trauma and the suffering. They have seen it all.
“But that’s their job and I would be joined by many people in suggesting the world is a better place because of people like them. It is because of their sheer hard work and dedication that so many children across the world have been removed from harm and saved

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Queensland Health have strengthened DNA analysis capabilities following the recent review of some results.
The review was undertaken after a small number of results were recalled due to uncertainty as to the number of contributors within a mixture of DNA. This was isolated to samples that contained a mixture of DNA from three or more people.
The QPS reviewed all cases between 2013 and 2018 that involved this type of result and identified 138 matters in which the mixed profile evidence was potentially significant to the prosecution.
As a result of the review the integrity of all cases has been confirmed.
New technology was introduced in November 2018 which will prevent these concerns from reoccurring while also enhancing DNA evidence to solve crimes.
The integrity of DNA results is a significant priority for both departments who will always strive to continuously improve processes.
