Will the minister advise - (1) What is the total cost of the Police Department’s new computer system? (2) What is the cost of supplying training for the system, and who is the service deliverer?

AnswerView source ↗
I am very pleased to have received this question from both Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich and Hon Graham Giffard alternately over four days. I have been given their names, and then crossed them out on a number of occasions. (1) The Government has made a commitment to the DCAT program of $124m over a five-year period, with this year being the third of those years. The DCAT program represents the final systems phase of the Delta change program, and will introduce more efficient and effective business processes and underpinning application systems and infrastructure. (2) The DCAT program is not a single project; it comprises many initiatives - some independent, some not - which will collectively address the Delta program’s needs. As such, training is budgeted and provided on a per project basis and conducted in a manner that is considered the most effective and economic for the particular project at hand. Training for the network infrastructure project completed earlier this year was provided by a combination of sworn officers and Drake Pty Ltd - under subcontract from GE Capital Information Technology Solutions Pty Ltd - at a capital cost of $449 935. Training for the Insight application currently being installed is being provided by sworn officers, thus incurring no capital cost. Training schedules and budgets are ascertained on an individual project basis, as the planning for each project is undertaken. The Western Australia Police Service is not in a position to provide details of the training costs for the entire program at this stage. (3) The agency has committed to a level of 55 sworn FTEs and 25 unsworn FTEs to support the projects undertaken within the major projects unit, which includes the DCAT program and the CADCOM initiative. Staff have been drawn from a variety of areas within the agency, including general duties officers and officers from other specialist and administrative areas as required. A precise answer is dependent on the member’s definition of what is “front line”. (4) WAPS has no information or management reports at hand that would support this assertion.
