Police chief defends non-emergency helicopter trip, admits error, no public cost or safety impact.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush defended the use of a backup helicopter for a non-emergency conference trip, stating it stayed within contracted flying hours for October and did not cost taxpayers extra.
The aircraft was grounded overnight due to a mechanical issue, leading to minor crew accommodation costs.
Bush acknowledged the decision was flawed, took responsibility, and pledged to prevent future incidents.
The flight did not impact operational capacity or public safety.
This follows past scrutiny over helicopter use, including a 2023 trip to Porepunkah after two officers were killed.
