POLICE — CRIME
STATISTICS
1536. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the crime statistics
available on the Western Australia Police Force website.
(1) Why do the
crime statistics on the front-page graph provide data only to 30 June 2024,
thereby preventing comparisons with previous dates?
(2) When will the figures for the
quarter to 30 September 2024 be available on the graph?

provides the capability for crime statistics to be reviewed by calendar year,
financial year or monthly, allowing a comparison with previous dates.
