Minister for Police and Emergency Services
Response time
107 days
(1) For the year ending 30 June 2007, there were 5,655 priority two tasks
1
responded to by Police in Western Australia.
Notes:
1. This total does not include police pursuits or scheduled, duplicated or re-prioritised tasks.
(2) The Key Performance Indicator agreed to between the Western Australian Government and the WA Police for the financial year 2006-07 for Priority 1 & 2 tasks was a Target Average Response Time of 9 minutes. There is no separate Target for Priority 2 tasks. This Target has been unchanged since 2001-02, and is still the Target for 2007-08.
(3) There were 1,822
priority two tasks that were not responded to within the accepted Government/Police time limits for the financial year ending 30 June 2007.
(4) The average response time achieved for all priority two tasks in the Metropolitan Districts for the year ending 30 June 2007 was 8 minutes.
Notes:
1. Due to geographical and computer system restraints, information is not available for the regional Police Districts except Peel District, in which no Priority 1 tasks were responded to in the 2006-07 financial year.
2. The above data only refers to Priority 1 tasks responding to a call for assistance from the public, and excludes pursuits and scheduled, duplicate or re-prioritised tasks.
3. The figures in the above response differ from those presented in the 2007 WA Police Annual Report (in which the average response time for Priority 1 & 2 tasks was quoted as 9 minutes). The reasons for this include; the Annual Report data is based on the sum of averaged monthly totals which includes rounding errors whereas the above data is based on a single aggregate extract for this particular Question; also that tasks re-opened or modified after the original monthly reports would not have been included in the Annual Report calculations, but have been included in the data for this Question.
NOTES:
a) Priority 1 and 2 tasks cover incidents where life or property, is or may be, in a state of threat or imminent danger. Offences include armed hold-up in progress, offender incident in progress and other life threatening incidents.
b) Priority 3 tasks cover incidents requiring immediate attention but are not life threatening at that time. Priority 3 incidents may involve the welfare of a person, the possible apprehension of offenders or the preservation of evidence.
