I refer to Western Australia Police resourcing in Port and South Hedland, and I ask: (a) what is the standard schedule and the number of police vehicles on patrol in Port and South Hedland in any given week, and has this resourcing changed in the past 18 months; (b) on how many occasions in the past six months has only one police vehicle been on call for the whole of Port and South Hedland, and how does this data compare to the past three years; (c) how many police vehicle call outs have been made, what was the average waiting time for attendance in Port and South Hedland in the last six months, and how does this data compare to the past three years; (d) on how many occasions have police officers called for backup when no back up was available to dispatch in the past six months, and how does this data compare to the past three years; and (e) when were the last staff wellbeing and/or morale assessments or like undertaken at the South Hedland Police station and what were the findings of the assessment?
