          <by role="member" id="636">The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing):</by>  As at 24 August 2009, SAPOL records indicate that 95 parole warrants have been issued where the offender has not yet been arrested.</text>
        <text id="200910137e4e19f1a485463fb0000603">Of the 95, 30 are serving a term of imprisonment interstate. Two people are believed to be overseas and 20 are interstate. The remaining 43 people are believed to be residing in South Australia. Active enquiries are being made by police at the relevant Local Service Area level in relation to locating those people, based on their last known address.</text>
        <text id="200910137e4e19f1a485463fb0000604">The majority of new warrants received by SAPOL are being executed within 24 to 48 hours of receipt (ie person located and arrested).</text>
