(1-2) The Western Australia Police Force advise that, under the operational restructure, District Superintendents are responsible for deploying their allocated resources to deliver the best possible policing service for their local community.
As stated by Commissioner of Police, Chris Dawson, when introducing the WA Police Force operational restructure, the new district structure will provide greater connectivity and communication with police and their local community. There will be more police officers in local police stations. This will be achieved by amalgamating local policing teams and response temas into one stream, as patrol/inquiry officers. In addition, each district will soon have a dedicated family and domestic violence response team.
The WA Police Force further advises that specific information relating to staffing levels at individual police stations is not publically released. The Government is well on track to deliver our commitment for an 138 additional officers for the WA Police Force. In contrast, the previous government failed to commit to any additional police over the 2017-2020 forward estimates.
