CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

The option of reassigning police was considered. The Pol. Commissioner said they didn’t want to be on the first line of guards but would be the 2nd line, i.e. if someone ran away from a quarantine facility, they’d go after them.

The problem with reassigning people, whether it be police, prison officers, nurses or PSOs is that guarding quarantine facilities isn’t in their job descriptions. You can ask them nicely, but they can say no. Just as well, otherwise the Federal Government could transfer public servants and federal police to the infantry rather than bothering with conscription.
