(1)(a) At this stage, the structure and composition of the new police districts and new operating model are provisional and subject to change as the roll out process expands across the metropolitan area. As a result, organisational structure information is not available at this time. (b)-(c)[See tabled paper no.] (2)(a)-(c) This question asks for "full-time equivalents, rank, position and role of all employees" under each of the three categories as reported in the 2014/15 State Budget: 1. Metropolitan policing services: General policing services provided by districts within the Metropolitan Region including: crime prevention, maintaining public order, and responding to and investigating criminal and general incidents. 2. Regional and remote policing services: General policing services provided by districts within regional Western Australia including: crime prevention, maintaining public order, and responding to and investigating criminal and general incidents. 3. Specialist policing services: Specialist policing services include: major crime, serious and organised crime, sex crime, commercial crime, licensing enforcement, forensic, intelligence, traffic enforcement, and counter terrorism and emergency response. These are a description of functions of each of these categories and do not correlate to specific positions within Western Australia Police. In addition, a position will undertake duties covering a number of areas as outlined under each of the three categories. Crime prevention and public order is the responsibility of all officers. The Western Australia Police response and investigation of an incident is dependent on multiple factors regarding the category of crime.
