(1a-c - 2a-c) The Commissioner of Police is responsible for the allocation of police services state-wide and allocates resources accordingly. The Western Australia Police has a resource allocation model and undertakes continual monitoring to determine the ongoing demand for policing services in each Police district and to ensure a responsive policing service is provided to the areas of greatest need.
The 500 Program is a four year program which is scheduled to commence in 2009-10. Discussions regarding the first year's FTE allocation have commenced. It is anticipated that additional FTE will be deployed to all police districts, including the south west region.
