Police Recruitment

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Police. Will the government meet its commitment taken to the last two elections to deliver an extra 313 sworn police officers over and above the 2010 numbers?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:30): I get regularly briefed on this matter and, in fact, I answer this question after each graduation ceremony. The most recent briefing I have received from SAPOL was that we are on line to recruit. That is the advice I have received.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: No, sorry.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: We are on track, on line, to recruit the additional police.
