I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Acting Minister for Police.
For
the awareness of the honourable member, the increase is in support services,
not positions. The Western Australia Police Force advises that the
relevant personnel are undertaking external operational duties and are not
available to provide a response within the required time frame. A response will
be provided to the honourable member on Thursday, 21 September 2023.
