AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the Minister for Police I provide the following response — (1) It is expected to be operational by the end of July, beginning of August 2009. (2) Western Australia Police advises that due to operational sensitivities, specific information relating to staffing levels of individual police stations or operational units is not released. (3) Rosters are set on a fortnightly basis as per the Western Australia Police industrial agreement and are amended according to local policing issues, operational demands, seasonal factors et cetera. Accordingly, the rosters will provide a maximum policing presence on the waterways of Peel at peak demand times.
