Inquest into WA Police Officer's suicide told police fear mental health help could destroy career

Detective Sergeant Scott Andrew Blanchard died of a self-inflicted gun wound to his chest in July 2015.

A cynical person would believe that @walabor @WA_Police @MarkMcGowanMP is going to take until next year to add/change law to remove the capability of moving out ill & injured officers is to give the Force time to move as many officers out via Section 8 now https://t.co/cDMsvfPAWC

Liberals apologise to medically-retired WA Police Officers

Medically-retired police have been given an apology by the West Australian opposition for failing to compensate officers who had been cast on the scrap heap after they could no longer work.

@TrueBlueLine As (Ret) Superintendent Parkinson said- “stop the bullshit” Both political parties need to stop the wordsmithing and act now.

'Stop the bulls--t.' Former cops rally for redress and workers comp https://t.co/7BZMf86AaR via @watoday

[Mike T @Mikess05T]

Ironic really.
The protest march is on Friday at 11am, starting from Parliament House, this article is released to probably stem criticism and deter people from attending. Nothing but empty promises. If you intended to go to the rally, go.

Changes afoot to ensure injured cops can medically retire with dignity https://t.co/T8UT2qt0kG via @watoday

[True Blue Line @TrueBlueLine]

These changes have been announced over and over again for the past three decades. Nothing has changed, there's a tremendous amount of ill will in WA government towards police officers.

[PoliceOldFartsWA @POF_WA]

Shoulda Woulda Coulda... love the sense of urgency (not) and timing @MarkMcGowanMP @walabor We have heard it all before and will go in on Friday with the same passion that we had before this article and will ramp up. https://t.co/YRsXZy8xPI

Police March for Justice in Perth this Friday at 11am #TrueBlueFamily #WorkersCompensation #SupportOurCops #WAPolice

The Blue Family needs you to make a commitment to attend the Police March For Justice commencing at the Parliament House. Can we count on your support?

[True Blue Line @TrueBlueLine]

We will always protect you.

No one protects us.
Unlike all other workers, we do not have workers compensation when we are injured, either physically or mentally.

[True Blue Line @TrueBlueLine]

Time to act as the shocking treatment of medically retired WA Police Officers is coming to a head

Police in Western Australia have never had Workers Compensation. As soon as we become badly injured in the line of duty we are discarded like garbage.

@TrueBlueLine @broad_robyn @WAtoday Pretty sure she was telling the Premier to man up, to take responsibility and stop blaming the other political parties.
Truth is both major party’s have known about this problem for 35 years, both major parties have been in power during that time, and both parties did nothing.
