Disaster Dan Resigns At Long Last, page-501

@daicosisgod; I'm not sure where you found that figure of 1,600 police short, what I found is via the official Victorian website below:

2018 Police Numbers: 14,755
2023 Police Numbers: 15,766
https://www.police.vic.gov.au/police-number-region

That's not a loss of 1,600 police, it's an increase of 1,000 police during the last five years [ie. roughly 7%].
