AnswerView source ↗
I would assume that the cell extraction team is under the control and the authority of the Department of Corrective Services. Mr E.S. Ripper : That can’t be right. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The Leader of the Opposition may not think it right, but as far as I am aware — Mr J.R. Quigley : On police premises? Mr P. Papalia : Who is the operational commander on site? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I am giving the answer now that I believe is the correct answer. I am happy to confirm that with the Attorney General. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As far as I am aware, if correctional services officers go into extract a prisoner, from the moment they go in the prisoner is under their care and control and their authority. Mr J.R. Quigley : That can’t be right. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : That is what happens. The member for Mindarie may not think it is right, but that is what I believe is the case. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr J.N. Hyde : Did they have a correct warrant for this extraction? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I think that they had a court warrant, actually. Mr J.N. Hyde : Was it signed properly? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Let me tell the member for Perth what happened. Mr J.N. Hyde : You would have to have been made aware of it. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will give some additional information because this is a very serious issue. At 10.19 hours on 6 September 2008, prisoner Kevin Spratt was being moved to the holding cell by Constable Turner. Spratt became aggressive and went to push Constable Turner out of the way. Constable Turner attempted to restrain Spratt by forcing him to the ground. Spratt continued to resist and after splitting his lip on the ground began spitting blood at officers. Spratt was placed in a padded cell, but continued shouting, yelling and punching the walls. Sergeant Bell attempted to speak with Spratt but was kicked and left the cell. A short time later Sergeant Bell again tried to speak with Spratt but Spratt spat in Sergeant Bell’s face causing blood to enter his mouth and eyes and splatter on his face. Spratt was remanded in custody by a magistrate. GSL, which I think is Global Services Limited, was told to have the emergency support group attend to extract Spratt from the padded cell and convey him to prison. The emergency support group attended and eventually removed Spratt after several Taser shocks—and when he was shackled. Sergeant Bell was conveyed — Mr J.N. Hyde : But were you aware — The SPEAKER : Order, member for Perth! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Sergeant Bell was conveyed to a medical centre for blood tests as Spratt claimed, and is believed, to have hepatitis C. Mr J.N. Hyde : You’re the police minister; you should have been aware. The SPEAKER : Order! Tabling of Paper Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : Mr Speaker, I ask for the document to be tabled. The SPEAKER : If the minister presents the document I will look at it. I call the member for Kingsley. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members!

Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr J.N. Hyde : Did they have a correct warrant for this extraction? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I think that they had a court warrant, actually. Mr J.N. Hyde : Was it signed properly? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Let me tell the member for Perth what happened. Mr J.N. Hyde : You would have to have been made aware of it. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will give some additional information because this is a very serious issue. At 10.19 hours on 6 September 2008, prisoner Kevin Spratt was being moved to the holding cell by Constable Turner. Spratt became aggressive and went to push Constable Turner out of the way. Constable Turner attempted to restrain Spratt by forcing him to the ground. Spratt continued to resist and after splitting his lip on the ground began spitting blood at officers. Spratt was placed in a padded cell, but continued shouting, yelling and punching the walls. Sergeant Bell attempted to speak with Spratt but was kicked and left the cell. A short time later Sergeant Bell again tried to speak with Spratt but Spratt spat in Sergeant Bell’s face causing blood to enter his mouth and eyes and splatter on his face. Spratt was remanded in custody by a magistrate. GSL, which I think is Global Services Limited, was told to have the emergency support group attend to extract Spratt from the padded cell and convey him to prison. The emergency support group attended and eventually removed Spratt after several Taser shocks—and when he was shackled. Sergeant Bell was conveyed — Mr J.N. Hyde : But were you aware — The SPEAKER : Order, member for Perth! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Sergeant Bell was conveyed to a medical centre for blood tests as Spratt claimed, and is believed, to have hepatitis C. Mr J.N.

At 10.19 hours on 6 September 2008, prisoner Kevin Spratt was being moved to the holding cell by Constable Turner. Spratt became aggressive and went to push Constable Turner out of the way. Constable Turner attempted to restrain Spratt by forcing him to the ground. Spratt continued to resist and after splitting his lip on the ground began spitting blood at officers. Spratt was placed in a padded cell, but continued shouting, yelling and punching the walls. Sergeant Bell attempted to speak with Spratt but was kicked and left the cell. A short time later Sergeant Bell again tried to speak with Spratt but Spratt spat in Sergeant Bell’s face causing blood to enter his mouth and eyes and splatter on his face. Spratt was remanded in custody by a magistrate. GSL, which I think is Global Services Limited, was told to have the emergency support group attend to extract Spratt from the padded cell and convey him to prison. The emergency support group attended and eventually removed Spratt after several Taser shocks—and when he was shackled. Sergeant Bell was conveyed — Mr J.N. Hyde : But were you aware — The SPEAKER : Order, member for Perth! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Sergeant Bell was conveyed to a medical centre for blood tests as Spratt claimed, and is believed, to have hepatitis C. Mr J.N. Hyde : You’re the police minister; you should have been aware. The SPEAKER : Order! Tabling of Paper Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : Mr Speaker, I ask for the document to be tabled. The SPEAKER : If the minister presents the document I will look at it. I call the member for Kingsley. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members!
Mr P. Papalia : Who is the operational commander on site? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I am giving the answer now that I believe is the correct answer. I am happy to confirm that with the Attorney General. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As far as I am aware, if correctional services officers go into extract a prisoner, from the moment they go in the prisoner is under their care and control and their authority. Mr J.R. Quigley : That can’t be right. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : That is what happens. The member for Mindarie may not think it is right, but that is what I believe is the case. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr J.N. Hyde : Did they have a correct warrant for this extraction? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I think that they had a court warrant, actually. Mr J.N. Hyde : Was it signed properly? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Let me tell the member for Perth what happened. Mr J.N. Hyde : You would have to have been made aware of it. Several members interjected. Mr R.F.
