Community police - controlled grants and subsidies
3515. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Energy representing the Minister for Police
I refer to my question No. 3157, regarding page 419 of the Budget, listed under Transport. I refer to the Controlled Grants and Subsidies line item labelled, ‘Community Police’, and I ask —
(1) Who will receive this money?
(2) What will the money be spent on?
(3) Does the answer to (2), remain stable from year to year?
(4) If no to (3), what other purposes has this money been put to since the 2005-06 financial year?
Hon PETER COLLIER replied:
(1) The Department of Transport advises, Western Australia Police, Office of Crime Prevention.
(2) Community Policing Initiatives.
(3) Yes. The Department of Transport have budgeted and provided a recurrent, capped payment of $820,000 per annum from 2009-10. This amount was increased from the previous allocation of $695,000 applied by Department of Transport since approximately 2002-03.
(4) Not applicable.
