The term 'clean-up' rate is not used by WA Police in reporting the enforcement of offences.
Up until 30 June 2010, the term 'clearance rate' was used to describe the percentage of reported offences cleared in a given period. Between 2010-11 and 2013-14, the term 'sanction rate' was used to describe the percentage of verified offences sanctioned in a given period. I refer the Member to my answer to Legislative Assembly Question on Notice no. 2120 for further details about clearance and sanction rates.
As of 1 July 2014, the sanction rate for offences was replaced by revised KPI that aligns with national policing performance indicators as reported in the Productivity Commission's
Report on Government Services

Clearance and sanction rates in Western Australia between 2006 and 2014 are published in WA Police annual reports which are tabled in Parliament.
