(b) There are currently certain nights when mobile security patrols are not routinely scheduled. (c) Patrols are scheduled on the nights and follow the bus routes generally identified by the relevant contracted Transperth bus operators or where intelligence received by the contacted security provider indicates a heightened possibility of antisocial behaviour. In addition to mobile patrols, the static security officers on duty at Kwinana Bus Station are also equipped with a patrol vehicle to enable a rapid response to any ?in transit? incidents that occur in their vicinity. All bus drivers have radio contact with their company?s traffic control base, and drivers can call for police or transit security officer assistance as requires. Transperth?s contracted bus operators have the discretion of being able to increase the number of mobile patrols at any time if they perceive there to be need for an additional presence. These increases are funded 75% by Transperth and 25% by the bus contractor. (d) Detailed analysis of incidents over time. The option to allow Transperth bus operators the discretion to cover these nights in response to perceived need on a joint funding basis ensures that resources are rostered in the most efficient and effective manner. (e) During the past year, there have been approximately 154,628 services on the nights without mobile patrols. During these nights, there have been 26 incidents comprising two (2) incidents of abusive behaviour, one (1) of breaking glass, one (1) of drinking alcohol, five (5) of graffiti, one (1) of loitering, 13 of projectile throwing and three (3) of theft. This equates to approximately 1.7 incidents for every 10,000 services. (f) The number of security incidents is closely monitored by Transperth, Transperth?s contracted security provider and Transperth?s contracted bus operators. The current arrangements that allows for bus operators to increase the level of security presence on these nights in response to perceived need ensures that resources are rostered in the most efficient and effective manner. (g) No. To date there are 402 out of a total 1,017 buses (almost 40% of the fleet) equipped with the latest digital recording device to enhance driver and passenger security and to assist with the identification of passengers that graffiti the inside of the buses. All new buses manufactured for Transperth since are fitted with this security camera. (h) The matter is currently under review
