STATE BUDGET 2013–14 — POLICE DETECTIVES
370. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Does it concern the minister
that an on-call detective at the child abuse unit was unable to turn out to a
call at 3.30 am earlier this week because the wait for the taxi took two hours?

AnswerView source ↗

That incident is something that I will certainly investigate
further, because the assurances I have from the commissioner are that he is
putting the Frontline 2020 policy front and foremost in his decision-making
processes.
Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Midland!
Mrs L.M. HARVEY :
The commissioner in conversation with me says that he can deliver the level of
service delivery to the community that I expect within the budget we have
assigned him.
