Statement from the Premier of Queensland and the Minister for Police
As stated by Premier of Queensland David Crisafulli:
Queensland Police Service Commissioner Steve Gollschewski has the full support of the Queensland Government following his decision to step down due to health reasons.
I would like to thank Commissioner Gollschewski for his lifetime of service upholding our state's laws.
Commissioner Gollschewski has spent decades serving with integrity, professionalism, and Queensland is grateful for what he has achieved in the blue uniform.
Right now, his focus must be on his health and his family – but on behalf of Queensland – I want to thank him for his outstanding contribution to the state, and wish him all the best on his journey ahead.
