Labor has pledged to recruit 200 extra police reservists as part of a plan to boost station resources.
Reservists are already behind counters at stations including Geelong and Corio.
Premier Ben Carroll has made the promise if re-elected on November 28.
“Taxpayers fund our police stations and they expect them open,” he said.
“They also want to walk through those police stations and see someone at the front counter.”
The opposition though, claims the government has closed stations and reduced hours.
Meantime, Liberal leader Jess Wilson has announced if elected later this month, she will introduce Aidan’s Law, introducing harsher penalties for those who attack Good Samaritans.
It has been named in honour of Aidan Becker, who died after stepping in to protect a teenager from an alleged violent robbery at Mernda earlier this year.
