Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 459 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 19 August 2021 by Dr D.J. Honey

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

POLICE — CRIME STATISTICS

459. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Police:

I have a supplementary question. Will the minister commit to publishing police response times so that the public has confidence that police are responding in a reasonable time, as is the case with ambulances?

Mr P. PAPALIA replied:

I do not know why the member would be trying to attack the Western Australia Police Force. What an extraordinary thing to do at a time when we have been served by, I think, easily the best Commissioner of Police that the state has ever seen. The entire leadership of the Western Australia Police Force has been exceptional in this environment that no-one alive on the planet has confronted before. They have served us incredibly well. The police officers, to a man and woman, have served the state incredibly well, and you come in here and suggest that somehow their service is substandard. What I will do is I will commend the Western Australia Police Force and the officers who serve our state so well for the exceptional job that they do on behalf of all of us at this incredible time.
