QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Department of Housing directive that only reports from direct neighbours where police attend at premises will be relevant for the operation of its anti-social policy, and I ask -
(1) Were police consulted about this change in policy?
(2) What impact will this change have on the capacity of police to maintain order in a particular location?

(1) WA Police are unaware of any consultation at the executive level about the change in the Department of Housing policy.
(2) WA Police rely on a wide range of information from the community when investigating reports of anti-social behaviour. Change to the Department of Housing anti-social policy as outlined will not have an effect on the operational capacity of WA Police to maintain order in a particular location.
