AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Joondalup is part of the north west metropolitan district and the question is answered on a district basis. (1) The current actual number of officers for the north west metropolitan district is 263. (2) (a) Seven. (b) Ten. (c) Four. (3) Not all staff are replaced for the duration of their leave. (4) The actual number of officers for the north west metropolitan district as at 1 October 2001 was 287. The decrease in staffing levels is attributable to - (a) the re-allocation of unplaced probationary constables from the district; (b) the realignment of the police district boundaries with local government boundaries under the Western Australia Police Service boundary review that saw the suburbs of Hamersley, Waterman and North Beach allocated to the west metropolitan police district and the suburb of Ballajura transferred to the east metropolitan district; and (c) the re-allocation of police personnel under the Police Service’s regional and district allocation of resources program - RADAR - model.
