The decrease in Approved numbers for South Metropolitan from 2009 to 2010 is balanced by the increase for Peel. This is due to the realignment of Rockingham & Kwinana sub-districts to Peel District. (5 - 8) The employment of Auxiliary Officers is a new initiative and the training of the first officers will begin in April. As such there are no positions or officers allocated to Districts.
