(b) there were 1 301 in 2018;
(c) there were 1 107 in 2019; and

In addition to Operation Heat
Shield, which saw an unprecedented additional $5 million in funding to boost
police operations in Perth and elsewhere, there has been a recent boost to
officer numbers as part of Operation Nightsafe. WA police also advise that the
increased high-visibility police presence has resulted in positive feedback and
greater reporting of offences, which often previously went unreported.
