AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided the following answers — (1) The review of children’s crossings has not been completed; therefore, the current interim arrangements will remain until further notice. (2) It is a consideration. However, at this stage it is envisaged that police auxiliary officers will initially perform custodial duties in lockups and during prisoner transportation, as well as managing and handling drugs, property and firearms. They will also carry out other support roles at police stations, thus enabling officers and detectives to concentrate on the front line.
