(a) Western Australia Police advise that due to operational sensitivities, specific information relating to staffing levels of individual police stations is not released. Resources are principally allocated at a District level and District Superintendents deploy these resources within their District to provide the best possible policing service to meet operational requirements and the varying needs of the community.
(b) In relation to the number of arrests processed at a particular station, arrests may be undertaken by officers from across a District, from a neighbouring District, or from a centralised unit. Arrests made by staff of a particular station may be processed at another station or even in another District depending upon where the offence occurred. Hence any figure provided for a particular station does not necessarily indicate the arrest load of the officers of a particular station. The arrest load is only part of the overall workload of a station.
(c)-(e) Human and physical resources are deployed by the District Superintendent across all business units and stations in the District and this is done in consideration of tasking demand and operational imperatives.
