I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for some notice of the question. The Western Australia Police Force advises the
following.
(1) For the
purposes of the key performance indicator ''percentage of sworn police
officer hours available for frontline
policing duties'', a ''frontline officer'' is an

(3) Not applicable.
(4) No.
