AnsweredQoN 541Legislative Assembly
QuestionView source ↗
I refer the minister to the Labor Party’s pre-election policy headed “More police, better policing”, which states - Labor is determined to ensure that authorised strengths are actually being met. Communities should be able to rely on their local station having its full complement of police officers as budgeted for. (1) Is the minister aware that, according to the latest statistics, six of Western Australia’s 14 policing districts - nearly half - have fewer police officers working in them now than when Labor came to power? (2) Is the minister aware that, according to those same statistics, 12 of the State’s 14 policing districts are still operating below authorised strength, some by up to 22 police officers? (3) Has the minister failed? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I thank the member for Kalgoorlie for that question, because the story on authorised strength is an excellent story for the Government. I have checked the figures on a monthly basis this year and they indicate that we have provided the Police Service with, on average, 28 to 30 additional officers over and above the authorised strength. The key difference between this Government and the previous Government is that we operate a Police Service that operates well above its authorised strength. It is operating above its authorised strength right now. Our new Commissioner of Police is doing an excellent job. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment that he has put into the job over the past month or so has been nothing short of sensational. He is ensuring that, at long last, we are seeing officers at the front line. That is in line with what our Government has wanted to deliver since we came to government. We have a commissioner who is now delivering it. The commissioner’s priority areas of front line first, community first are starting to pay dividends. I am sure that the Premier and the Deputy Premier will have seen their local newspaper, the Southern Gazette . The front-page article states that burglary rates are at a 10-year low. The Canning Times carries the headline “Six bolster police”. For the first time we are starting to see - Dr G.I. Gallop: Victoria Park! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Victoria Park and Belmont. Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The article states that there is a 10-year low in the number of home burglaries. That is the kind of achievement that is being made. The recent statistics - Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: They do not want to hear it, Mr Speaker. We have a 10-year low in burglary rates. We are talking about a reduction in incidents of burglary of an order that members opposite could never have dreamt about; it is in the order of 20 per cent. These are incredible results. Mr E.S. Ripper: Thank you, minister. Thank the Police Service. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: It is great to see that we are delivering even further. I will pass on the thanks of the members for Belmont and Victoria Park to the Police Service, because this is a great result. I tell the member for Kalgoorlie that nowhere are we getting better results in reduced crime rates than in Kalgoorlie.
