This figure does not include unsworn Police Service personnel. (3)The mentioned information is reported in financial years. (4)Reported offences are selected offences reported to or becoming known to police and resulting in the submission of an offence report in the Offence Information System (OIS). Offences against public order, such as disorderly conduct and offences against the Firearms Act, Liquor Licensing Act and a number of other offences against the statute laws of this State and the Commonwealth are not recorded in this system at present. (5)The number of reported offences for a period (eg. week, month, quarter, year) comprises all offences reported during that period and will include offences committed during earlier periods. Therefore the reporting of historical offences will inflate the number of reported offences for a period.

The figures are a "best fit" of police boundaries with Census Collection District boundaries, the smallest spatial unit of the Australian Standard Geographical Classification. The populations relate to usual residents and do not reflect populations influenced by fluctuations in the movement of people associated with entertainment, employment, recreation, shopping and tourism. (2)Counts of sworn police officers used to calculate the police to population ratio are based on approved average staffing levels (AASL) as at 31 July, 2000. The figures include senior police, police officers, Aboriginal Police Liaison Officers and special constables. Part - time employees are counted as a proportion of a full-time person, therefore the full-time equivalent used in the calculation may include a decimal place. This figure does not include unsworn Police Service personnel. (3)The mentioned information is reported in financial years. (4)Reported offences are selected offences reported to or becoming known to police and resulting in the submission of an offence report in the Offence Information System (OIS). Offences against public order, such as disorderly conduct and offences against the Firearms Act, Liquor Licensing Act and a number of other offences against the statute laws of this State and the Commonwealth are not recorded in this system at present. (5)The number of reported offences for a period (eg. week, month, quarter, year) comprises all offences reported during that period and will include offences committed during earlier periods. Therefore the reporting of historical offences will inflate the number of reported offences for a period.
