POLICE — STREET
PRESENCE
27. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Has
the minister discussed the need for additional police with the Premier; and, if
so, why did he refuse the minister's request, and if the minister has
not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I regularly talk to the Commissioner
of Police and the Premier about all matters of policing such as police numbers,
operations and equipping police with the equipment that they need to do the
job. That is why the Premier supported me and every police officer in this
state with the rollout of mobile phones, body-worn cameras and protective
vests. These are matters I regularly discuss with the Premier and the
Commissioner of Police, and I get excellent support from the Premier.
