The Western Australia Police advise due to operational sensitivities, specific information relating to staffing levels of individual police stations is not released. Resources are principally allocated at a District level and District Superintendents deploy these resources within their District to provide the best possible policing service to meet operational requirements and the varying needs of the community.
(a) - (b) [Please see tabled paper no...]
(c) The Peel District has two FTE Crime Prevention and Community Diversity Officers.
1. As of 1 June 2010 prior to the District changes the numbers were the same.

following a review of district boundaries there was a realignment of Peel District from RWA to South Metropolitan District which also incorporated the sub-districts of Kwinana and Rockingham from South Metropolitan District.
28 full time equivalent (FTE) police officers from a mixture of allocated FTE's and additional FTE's created a District Crime Team, Criminal Intelligence Crime Unit, and Family and Domestic Violence Teams to fall in line with the Metropolitan Model.
