Country Policing Review

4 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (6 February 2020). If the country policing review is complete:

(a) When will a report be made public?

(b) What were its recommendations?

(c) Which of those recommendations will the government adopt?

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

(a) The South Australia Police (SAPOL) Regional Review (the review) is an internal review conducted by the Commissioner of Police. It is a matter for the commissioner to decide on the release of the outcome of the review.

(b) The review resulted in the development of a proposed regional policing model.

(c) The review was not undertaken at the request of the government and it is therefore not a matter for the government to adopt the recommendations. The commissioner is responsible for control and management of SAPOL.
