Cleanup

Needs a fair bit of cleanup. Things like the "joke between a NSW and VIC police officer" seem a bit misplaced.

Tenez le droit

Any evidence for claims? When I run the phrase through a simple translator, it comes back as "uphold the right"... and apparently "droit" means right in French. The info, if actually true (doubtful), is poorly phrased and may not be well-suited for the article's introduction.Jackk 09:03, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shooting of Graeme Jensen (events leading to Walsh Street)

Just found an article from 3 years ago with details on the events leading to Jensen's death and the controversy surrounding it by John Silvester. --BenM 13:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Headquarters

Isn't police headquarters in the complex at St Kilda Road? Why does the box say it's in Flinders Street?MickBarnes 22:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, force headquarters is the Victoria Police Centre at the World Trade Centre in Flinders Street. --Richmeister_talk 22:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm that it's in the World Trade Centre. The whitepages calls it the Victoria Police Centre. Josh Parris 05:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria Police Tagged for Cleanup for 2 years.

I've had a look over this article now, and it's reading a lot better than it was compared to even 2 months ago let alone 2 years. I'm going to go ahead and remove the cleanup tag from this article. I'm sure this article could still use a little attention and ongoing work as most articles on Wikipedia do. But in general, it's readable and informative. Pursey 12:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
