The responses required for these questions would take a significant amount of time to collate. The Commissioner of Police has advised he is not prepared to divert valuable resources away from core policing activities to provide a response. However the Commissioner has offered to hold a personal briefing session to discuss these and other issues with the Leader of the Opposition and other members of his team that he would like to accompany him.
