(2) The Western Australia Police Service advise the incidents attended were of a very minor nature. These incidents occurred in front of the Aboriginal Police Liaison Officers (APLOs) while they were visiting indigenous community members during the course of pro-active liaison duties. The APLOs intervened by speaking with the parties concerned and resolved the issues prior to the situation escalating to a point where sworn officers were required.
