House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Renmark Police Station Renmark Police Station Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Renmark Police Station Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:21): My question is to the Minister for Police. Given the opening hours of the Renmark Police Station have been reduced to when an officer is available, can the minister explain why this is the case and what are the plans for the future of that station, looking after a town of 10,000 people? The Hon. A. PICCOLO House of Assembly Light Minister for Disabilities Minister for Police Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Road Safety Renmark Police Station The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:21): I will need to get some specific advice from the commissioner on that matter. Suffice to say, in a general sense, that if for some reason there is restricted staffing in any police station, the local service area usually covers that. There was a case recently, I think, in the member for Hammond's electorate which involved, if you like, reallocating staff from other locations. What I can reassure people is that if you need a police officer there will be one available.
