(a-c) The Western Australian Police Force advise that the current approved strength of the Liquor Enforcement Unit is 38. In previous years this has been 36 for 2013 to 2015, and 38 since 2016. Officers in the Liquor Enforcement Unit are not directly allocated policing districts in the metropolitan area, while two officers are allocated to each of the districts in regional WA.
