Question On Notice No. 5687 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 17 October 2019 by Mr P.A. Katsambanis

Question Directed to the: Minister for Police; Road Safety
Parliament: 40 Session: 1


Question

I refer to police prosecutors, and ask:
(a) How many police prosecutors were there, for each year since 2015;
(b) How many police prosecutors have exited the role, for each year since 2015; and
(c) On average how many cases is each prosecutor dealing with at any one time, for each year since 2015?

Answered on 26 November 2019

The Western Australian Police Force advise:

(a)

 

2015/16:     101

2016/17:     112

2017/18:     115

2018/19:     113

 

(b)

 

2015/16:     16

2016/17:     14

2017/18:     21

2018/19:     31, including 9 who participated in the VTSS. These positions have been advertised and filled.

 

(c)

 

The WA Police Force does not specifically count the number of cases that individual prosecutors deal with. The number varies every day and depends on the court and duties allocated to the prosecutor.
