BAYSWATER POLICE STATION — OFFICERS
358. Ms L.L. BAKER to the
Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Given that 10 police
officers were withdrawn from Bayswater Police Station immediately after the
state election, how does the minister plan to resource the police station to
prevent the increasing crime that my constituents will endure this summer?

I think I addressed some of those matters, and, as I
previously mentioned, I am not aware of that specific program. The way that
police operations run is that sometimes they will put a targeted program
together for a specific time. As an example, in Scarborough and along the
beaches at Mullaloo and also at Cottesloe, teams are put together specifically
to look at policing the beachfront, because that is where people go in the heat
of summer. Around schoolies week, we put special programs and squads of police
officers together to look after our school leavers as they attend their leaving
functions. I need to find out the nature of that program at Bayswater, exactly
what it is and what the future plans for that program are. I will endeavour to
get that information from the commissioner, who ultimately has the say-so over
where he puts his officers for operational needs.
