Police Numbers

424 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (17 October 2018). What rank are the sworn police officers working in prosecutions?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

Sworn staff that work within prosecutions range from brevet sergeant through to superintendent, with sworn prosecutors holding the rank of brevet sergeant through to senior sergeant first class. The managerial staff structure within Prosecution Services Branch includes the ranks of superintendent, chief inspector and inspector; however, the officers holding these ranks are not prosecutors.
