Australia’s Northern Territory has dedicated unprecedented spending on regional and remote police officers in light of increasing unrest in the region.

The state government has added $10.1 million (US$7.1 million) to the $510 million already invested into police, fire, and emergency services this year. It is a $6.4 million increase from last year’s police budget.
