The head of Queensland’s police union has been called to give evidence at a commission of inquiry into the force’s response to domestic violence.

The commission revealed on Thursday it would hold three additional days of hearings in October, after receiving more than 250 extra submissions following the evidence of commissioner Katarina Carroll last month.
