I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services provided the following response - (1) The Police Service advises 49. (2)-(4) The Police Service advises that no specific assessment has been made. However, the Police Service continually monitors its resources and ensures that the use of resources is appropriately prioritised.
