INNALOO ELECTORATE, POLICE PRESENCE
Given that during the term of the last Court Government numbers at the Scarborough Police Station fell from 27 to 19 and that only one police officer, without a police vehicle, is left at the Innaloo Police Station, what will the Police Service do to satisfy the community’s demands for significantly increased police numbers in the Innaloo electorate? Mrs ROBERTS

I commend the member for Innaloo for his strong and proactive stand on police issues and for his diligent representation of his electorate. He has constantly called for more police in his electorate, especially for the Scarborough beachfront, which is a known trouble spot. I am pleased to say that his perseverance is about to be rewarded. More police officers will soon work in his electorate. As a result of relocation of staff in the Mirrabooka district, 28 officers from the district support group will be shifted to the Innaloo Police Station. This will assist on a number of levels. Members may not be aware that the Mirrabooka district complex was designed to accommodate 137 people. There are currently 169 officers at the Mirrabooka complex. The relocation of the district support group and its complement of 28 officers to the old Innaloo station will alleviate the issue of overcrowding, decentralise district resources and provide for a more appropriate utilisation of the Innaloo complex. The relocation will enable the Police Service to more strategically locate a resource, which will be deployed more effectively and efficiently to known trouble areas such as the Scarborough beachfront.
