On behalf of the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4)
The recruiting of the additional 400 police officers as part of the state
government's commitment is a four-year program and is progressing in
line with the plan developed by Western Australia Police and approved by the
state government. The creation of additional positions as part of the program
will also occur over the four years as the Commissioner of Police determines
the timing and function for the creation of positions. Allocations are made to
address priorities as they occur, and the allocation of additional positions to
work with young offenders will be made as part of this process.
