WA Police average attrition rate for police officers in the last 12 months is 25 a month or 0.4 per cent of total police officers. (3) Formal interviews are offered to officers resigning or retiring from WA Police. In the case of Police Transport Southern, informal interviews were conducted with each of the officers.
