I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Minister for Police.
(1) There were 184. As of 11 April
2022, Operation Tide will have 70 police officers.
(2) There were 27.
(3)–(4) The Western Australia Police Force advises
that 100 police officers and 20 specialist support staff have been committed to the meth border force. Based on operational requirements,
additional resources may be allocated to meth border force action to strengthen
the Western Australian borders. The Western Australia Police Force is currently
engaged in the biggest expansion of police officer numbers in a four-year
period in the history of the state, resulting in a 15 per cent growth in
overall officer numbers. These officers will be assigned by the commissioner
based on operational needs.
