QLD:Police to improve triple zero training

Queensland police working in triple zero call centres will receive better training
after an interim report into the floods found inconsistencies.

The issue was highlighted during the floods commission of inquiry earlier this year,
when the chilling triple zero calls of Toowoomba flash flood victims DONNA RICE and her
son JORDAN were played.

Toowoomba Senior Constable JASON WHEELER took the call and chided Ms RICE for driving
into floodwaters.

The report's found that Sen Const WHEELER hadn't received adequate training, and recommended
that police call-takers should be trained to a uniform standard.
