9916 - RESPONSE TIMES FROM LAKE MACQUARIE LOCAL AREA COMMAND

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Police, and Minister for Finance

What are the response times from the Lake Macquarie Local Area Command (LAC) from Toronto to:

    1. Glendale;
    2. Edgeworth;
    3. Cardiff; and
    4. West Wallsend?
Answer -

The NSW Police Force has advised me that response times from one location to another cannot be determined as police vehicles are generally either conducting mobile patrols, based on current crime trends, or attending other incidents when calls for assistance are received. 

I am advised that, at present, Lake Macquarie Local Area Command is exceeding its target response times with over 80% of Priority 1 and 2 incidents responded to in less than 20 minutes.
