I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) The Western Australia Police Service advises that due to operational sensitivities, specific information relating to staffing levels of individual police stations is not released. Resources are principally allocated at a district level, and district superintendents deploy these resources within their district to provide the best possible policing service to meet operational requirements and the varying needs of the community. Hon Barbara Scott: People waited for hours for a response. The PRESIDENT: Order! This is not a debate. Hon KIM CHANCE: The Police Service advises that the number of police officers serving in the south metropolitan district, which includes Fremantle and Rockingham, at the dates requested is as follows - South Metropolitan District Actual Employment Level - full-time equivalents 29 February 2004 383 - includes 6 Aboriginal police liaison officers 30 June 2001 388 - includes 4 APLOs 30 June 2002 376 - includes 6 APLOs 30 June 2003 373 - includes 4 APLOs (3) The Police Service advises that Fremantle Police Station is open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rockingham Police Station’s office hours are 8.00 am to 5.00 pm; however, it also provides a 24-hour police patrol. (4) The Police Service advises that Rockingham provides a 24-hour patrol service, and call-outs are therefore not required.
