AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Western Australia Police Service advises - (1) Information relating to police charges is contained in the WA Police Service BriefCase system. This system is legislatively based and therefore charge information is extracted by performing searches on specific sections of the relevant statutes. Relevant sections within the Misuse of Drugs Act 1981 relate to drug offences in general and do not specifically relate to cannabis offences. Therefore specific information relating to cannabis offences cannot be provided. (2) During 2002, the following adult cannabis cautions were issued in the following police districts - Metropolitan region - South east metropolitan 87 South metropolitan 135 North west metropolitan 92 East metropolitan 101 West metropolitan 151 Central metropolitan 186 North eastern region - Goldfields/Esperance 15 Kimberley 5 Midwest Gascoyne 36 Pilbara 28 Southern region - Great southern 39 Peel 26 South west 75 Wheatbelt 13 Not included are cannabis offence statistics relating to - juvenile cautions. This is due to the recording of broad offence descriptions on the relevant form. referrals to juvenile justice teams. These may be obtainable from the Department of Justice. Note: proactive police targeting of certain types of offences, such as drug offences, will increase the number of offences reported and detected. Accordingly, increases and decreases in recorded offences may not reflect changes in trends but police activities and operations.
