(1) Western Australia Police advise that 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.
(2 - 3) WA Police undertake continual monitoring of policing services in each Police district to ensure a responsive policing service is provided to the areas of greatest need. Individual police stations are subject to workload reviews on a regular basis to ensure available resources have been appropriately allocated.
