House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Police Numbers Police Numbers Mr TELFER House of Assembly Flinders 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 House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services Police Numbers 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.
