AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services has provided the following answer. (1) Evaluation of Western Australia Police business units is done under the authority of the Commissioner of Police, notwithstanding that other government agencies, such as the Department of the Attorney General and the Corruption and Crime Commission, have some role in this regard. In addition to this, the WA Police management audit unit undertakes scheduled and random reviews of various areas, and the police rail unit, like all business units, is subject to the agency’s requirements for an ongoing business area management review process and oversight by the commissioned officer staff. (2) The outcome of the last performance review was that the unit was satisfactory and meeting agreed performance outcomes. (3) The Commissioner of Police is responsible for the management of WA Police, including the police rail unit. Policies, regulations and legislation govern the manner in which police undertake their duties. The commissioner vests authority directly with supervisors to ensure requirements are maintained. Additionally, various agency business units, such as the corruption prevention and investigation portfolio and the management audit unit, have an oversight role, along with external agencies, such as the CCC. (4) Rights to make complaints and have concerns heard are afforded to all members of the community irrespective of culture or race. Complaints can be made directly to WA Police or through various other agencies, such as the CCC, the Ombudsman or the Aboriginal Legal Aid Service. Through its Internet site, WA Police makes provisions and explains the procedure for making complaints. Various marketing pamphlets have also been produced and are made available through public agencies, including the courts, the Ombudsman, Legal Aid WA and the Aboriginal Legal Aid Service.
