POLICE — MOBILE DRUG-TESTING MACHINES
739. Hon MARTIN PRITCHARD to the Attorney
General representing the Minister for Police:
How many mobile drug-testing
machines are based in each of the metropolitan and regional police districts?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
On behalf of the Attorney General, I
advise that the current equipment utilised for the secondary evidentiary test
is the Dr�ger 5000—whatever that is! There
are 10 machines operated by breath and drug operations, which operate primarily
in the metropolitan area and are deployed to regional WA during operations. A
further 10 machines are operated by districts in regional WA, with machines
available in each of the seven regional WA districts.
