ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — POLICE PRESENCE
1012. Mr P.C. TINLEY to the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the strong police presence at Bibra Lake today for
the Roe 8 project, including the mounted section of the police force, and the
fact that in just three suburbs in my electorate there have been 261 burglaries
so far this year and over 200 assaults. Is this police presence today an
effective use of police resources, considering crime has increased for each of
the last four months?

AnswerView source ↗

As I said previously when I answered this question, we
resource police to perform a wide variety of functions and activities to keep
the community safe and to address crime in our community. The commissioner
makes the decisions about where he deploys those resources and I support the
commissioner and his team in the very difficult job they do in our community
every day.
