Police safety review called af

A police investigation into officer safety has been launched in response to yesterday's shooting of a Sydney police officer.

The Police Association is calling for security screens to be installed at the front counters of all of the state's police stations to better protect officers.

"Single officer police stations are a major problem and many of the current police stations have no security at all," he said.
