Burnham touts boost to officers tackling small boat smuggling gangs

Burnham has pledged to be relentless in tackling small boat crossings, noting that numbers have decreased significantly compared to last year. He is promoting a boost to officers specifically tasked with tackling smuggling gangs. The objective is to maintain a rigorous approach to disrupt these criminal networks. By increasing resources for officers, the strategy aims to further reduce the frequency of crossings and dismantle the organised gangs facilitating these illegal maritime journeys.
