Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll announced her resignation from her $650,000 a year role on Tuesday, amid escalating concerns over her stewardship of the force during the state's youth crime crisis. Carroll, who will step down next Friday, reflected on her career and the challenges faced, including youth crime issues, workforce shortages, and unrest within police ranks. Following her resignation, Queensland Deputy Opposition Leader Jarrod Bleijie criticized Police Minister Mark Ryan, calling him an "absolute buffoon" and suggesting he should also leave his position. The debate over youth crime and Carroll's role as commissioner has been contentious, with some viewing her as a scapegoat for broader anxieties over youth crime in Queensland.
