I thank the member for Belmont for
this question.

The
SPEAKER : Member for Armadale, I call you to order for the first time.
Mrs
L.M. HARVEY : It gives me great pleasure to stand in this house and talk
about the successes of our Western Australian local policing team efforts in
the south east metropolitan district. I know there are members in this house
who applaud the efforts of our Frontline 2020 model. I know the supporters are
nearly all on this side of the house. Most members are aware that, since
February this year, the local policing teams have been targeting their efforts
in the priority areas of theft, burglary, stolen motor vehicles, and family and
domestic violence.
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Warnbro, I call you to order for the second time.
Member for Armadale, I call you to order for the second time. We are starting
to waste time again.
Mrs L.M. HARVEY :
To target those priority areas, the south east metropolitan district formulated
Operation Renew, an intelligence team of officers working out of Belmont Police
Station. I am sure that the member for Belmont is aware of that. They were
tasked with targeting emerging and current crime hotspots and the specific
offences that I mentioned earlier, and also putting the pressure on prolific
priority offenders. To date, Operation Renew has resulted in 28 arrests. There
have been 47 summonses, and a total of 175 charges have been laid. It has been
a very successful operation so far. The charges include burglary, stealing,
stealing motor vehicles and possessing stolen property. As part of this
operation, 216 vehicles have been stopped, which has resulted in a further 81
charges being laid. The best result so far has been that nine prolific
offenders have been detained and removed from the community. Although nine does
not sound like a big number, prolific offenders commit many offences in a very
short time, so it is very important that we try to get those prolific offenders
off the streets, and that police target them in their everyday work. These are
the kinds of results that the Liberal–National government is proud of.
That is why we support the Frontline 2020 policing model.
I listened to the inane giggling of
members on the other side of the house, and it offends me, as Minister for
Police. They would undermine Frontline 2020. They would rather not have 175
charges laid against PPOs, and they would rather not have 81 charges laid as a result
of vehicle stops. They want chaos to reign; they want to unwind a successful
Frontline 2020 policing model. That is all they have to offer, and the people
of the south east metropolitan district deserve better.
