Police Numbers

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:39): A supplementary to that short answer of yes to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services: where did these police get redirected from?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:39): It's simply not a proposition of where do they get redirected from. They come from the close to 4,600 police, sworn officers, that we currently have employed in South Australia. The member for Flinders may be aware of an operational use of overtime and recall, where staff, so as to not compromise the operational response in other areas, are recalled to duty and paid overtime to do so.
