I refer to the South West police district, and I ask: (a) given St John Ambulance have had response time key performance indicators (KPIs) in regional areas for some years now, will the Minister introduce response time KPIs for the South West police district; and (b) if no to (a), why not?

(a) No.
(b) Agencies are required by Government to develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess the extent to which the agency's outcomes are being achieved. KPIs are not required for every facet of agency performance.
WA Police has chosen to base its response time KPIs on incidents that have occurred in the Metropolitan Region. This is due to the fact that more than 75 per cent of incidents occur in the metropolitan area and that all calls for police attendance are made through the Police Operations Centre and recorded in the Computer Aided Dispatch System.
The response time data for the metropolitan area is sufficient to meet the Office of the Auditor General's auditing requirements.
