456 - FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT OFFICERS AT LAKE MACQUARIE POLICE DISTRICT

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services

(1) How many full-time equivalent officers were assigned to the Lake Macquarie Police District in 2018?

(a) Is this considered at strength, above strength or below strength?

(i) On what criteria is this determined?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

Information on police officer numbers is available in the NSW Police Force annual report which can be accessed at www.police.nsw.gov.au.

The Commissioner of Police is responsible for the allocation of police positions based on operational requirements and Government Commitments.

The NSW Police Force facilitates flexible workforce allocation and deployment to meet demand and community need. All police positions attached to Police Area Commands or Police Districts are flexible resources available to respond to incidents. Local resources are supplemented by specialist police who are managed centrally but can be deployed across boundaries to respond to changing community needs, crime patterns and emerging issues.
