(a)      The Western Australian Police Force advise 2 815 declared drug traffickers are recorded in the Western Australia Police Force’s Incident Management System, as at 8 December 2021.
(b)      58 convicted child sex offenders who have committed offences as a juvenile under the age of 18 years, have been issued warnings by the WA Police Force pursuant to section 557k of the Criminal Code (WA) .
Notes
(a) Figures are provisional and subject to revision.
Figures are based on a ‘Declared Drug Trafficker’ warning being recorded against a person’s profile in the Incident Management System. If a warning has not been recorded against a person’s profile, it will not be included.
Figures may include persons who have died since being declared a drug trafficker.
