On behalf of the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question.
(1) Six units are
operating.
(2) From 1 December
there will be four metropolitan police districts of equal size and demand. Each
district will have a district control centre that will operate 24/7 and have 36
personnel providing intelligence support, supervision and coordination. In
addition, each district will have district engagement and support units
providing services previously undertaken by crime intelligence and coordination
units, including, but not limited to, the intelligence and offender management
units. Previous CICUs had 12 personnel operating on a day shift from Monday to
Friday only. The new operating model will provide for greater intelligence
capacity than that under the previous system.
