In 2015, the former Minister for Police had to admit that the Western Australia Police Force stopped reporting sanction rates from 1 July 2014.
Since 2017-18, sanction rates or ‘investigation outcomes’ have been reported for appropriate key performance indicators in the Western Australia Police Force Annual Report.
