POLICE STAFF TO POPULATION RATIO
127. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for
Police:
I have a supplementary question. Is
the minister right or is the Productivity Commission right when it states that we have fewer police per 100 000
people than we had in 2008?

AnswerView source ↗

Once again, it goes to
effectiveness. WA Police are effective. The community satisfaction rating in
the areas in which we have deployed our new policing model has increased to 15 per cent. We are above the national average for
effectiveness and satisfaction with police. We stand on our record.
