The McGowan Government is delivering an extra 150 police officers to be deployed throughout the state. This takes the number of extra police officers provided by the McGowan Government to 298. The Western Australia Police Force advises that the allocation and deployment of police officers is considered on the basis of operational need and delivery of policing to the community.
