I refer to Local Projects, Local Jobs (LPLJ) programs funded by the Western Australia Police (WAPOL) budget since March 2017, and I ask: (a) which reporting and acquittal process did WAPOL apply to the administration of these LPLJ programs; (b) with respect to (a), was this process consistently applied to all LPLJ programs funded through WAPOL; (c) how did the WAPOL's reporting and acquittal process in respect of these LPLJ programs differ from processes WAPOL typically applies to the administration of the other grant schemes it controls; and (d) are each of the LPLJ programs funded by WAPOL consistent with the evaluation criteria and strategic objectives of WAPOL pursued via its other grant programs?

(a) – (c) The Western Australia Police Force advise grant recipient organisations are required to submit a financial acquittal and evaluation report within two months of completion of the project accompanied by receipts/tax invoices as evidence of expenditure for the full amount of the grant; a consistent process was applied; the reporting and acquittal process in respect of these LPLJ grants are the same as those applied for all grants programs.
(d) These are election commitments that are being delivered via established grants processes.
