I refer to CHOGM and the recent announcement that more than 200 police officers from across country Western Australia will be seconded to Perth for the event, and ask -
(1) How many Police officers will be seconded from each of the following districts to Perth for CHOGM -
(a) South West District;
(b) Peel District; and
(c) Great Southern District?
(2) What will be the period of secondment - the commencement and termination dates?
(3) How many police officers in each of the districts listed in (1) had their leave cancelled due to CHOGM?
(4) What impact will the secondment of police officers from each of these districts have on the opening hours of police stations in each of these districts?
(5) What additional strain will the later scheduling of cancelled leave due to CHOGM have on police rosters in these districts?
(6) What if any local events are being held in these districts during the CHOGM period and what impact will the reduction of police officers in these districts have on policing of local events?
