AnswerView source ↗
Before I provide the answer that has been provided to me by the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, the seventh part of the written question refers to an incident and not an accident. I may have misheard the member, but the question provided uses the word “incident”, and the answer is provided on that basis. (1)-(7) The Western Australia Police Service advises that the community of Mullewa is currently being serviced in a proactive manner by an interagency group from Geraldton led by the Department for Community Development. Other initiatives include a local office of crime prevention and in recent weeks the help-a-granny program has started with the assistance of the local police and Foodbank of WA - non-government - in Geraldton. Mullewa police, in partnership with the local shire, are endeavouring to establish after-hours sporting activities for local youths. Police have also increased proactive patrols, particularly during the hours of darkness. Police have been returning juveniles to home addresses and completing juvenile contact sheets. Police numbers have been supplemented from Geraldton, particularly on weekends, which has reduced the level of juvenile offending. The Police Service advises the number of charges laid to date in 2004 against juveniles is 189 and adults is 235. There were 33 charges laid against juveniles in 2003. The main offences accounting for the 2004 figures are burglary and commit offence (stealing), damage, assault, stealing, and on premises without lawful excuse. In the past two weeks 28 offences have been reported with an estimated damage cost of $40 000. Local police are not aware of any child enrolled at the Mullewa District High School assisting in the clean up of damage instead of being in class.

Police have also increased proactive patrols, particularly during the hours of darkness. Police have been returning juveniles to home addresses and completing juvenile contact sheets. Police numbers have been supplemented from Geraldton, particularly on weekends, which has reduced the level of juvenile offending. The Police Service advises the number of charges laid to date in 2004 against juveniles is 189 and adults is 235. There were 33 charges laid against juveniles in 2003. The main offences accounting for the 2004 figures are burglary and commit offence (stealing), damage, assault, stealing, and on premises without lawful excuse. In the past two weeks 28 offences have been reported with an estimated damage cost of $40 000. Local police are not aware of any child enrolled at the Mullewa District High School assisting in the clean up of damage instead of being in class.
