QuestionView source ↗
In light of a policy to not replace police officers when on annual leave, sick leave, long service leave or training exercises, Donnybrook Police Station is often manned by only three officers and an administration assistant, and I ask:
(a) what plans does the Minister have to address this staff issue;
(b) will the Minister allocate an extra officer to this station;
(c) why are there no replacements for Police officers when on all types of leave; and
(d) are there plans to divert Officers from other stations around the Donnybrook area to cover “hot spots”?
