FRONTLINE OFFICERS
1458. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to Legislative Council
question without notice 1385 regarding Operation Heat Shield and the minister's
refusal to answer part (3) of the question.
(1) I asked again
whether the minister can confirm that the Western Australia Police Force will
reach its authorised strength by the end of 2019, as stated in the WA Police
Force's 2019 annual report, given there is only one month to do so?
(2) If not, when is the WA Police
Force expected to reach authorised strength?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Minister for Police.
(1) That is what
the minister is advised and it is stated in the annual report. Deployment is a matter
for the Commissioner of Police.
(2) Not applicable.
