POLICE — DASH CAMS
30. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Police:
I refer to revelations today from
the WA Police Union that 26 Western Australian police officers face
investigation and being penalised for simply doing their job and protecting the
community. Will the government adopt the road safety recommendations from the
WA Police Union and make dash cams mandatory in police vehicles to protect both
officers and the community?
