Under the operational restructure, District Superintendents are responsible for deploying their allocated resources within their districts to deliver the best possible policing service for their local community.
In April 2018, the Commissioner of Police announced details of the significant operational restructure of the Western Australia Police Force. The new district structure provides greater connectivity and communication with police and their local community.
For the first time there is a single police district based around Armadale. This acknowledges the population growth in the south-east corridor of Perth. The former government’s model of four huge metro districts has been scrapped and eight new districts established.
Police operating from Mundijong Police Station are primarily responsible for their own sub-district, and are available to support their outlying police sub-districts if required.
