House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time CBD Police Resources CBD Police Resources Mr TELFER House of Assembly Flinders CBD Police Resources Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:40): Supplementary: can the minister specify where these additional police resources have been shifted from to serve in the CBD? The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Trade and Investment Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services Minister for Local Government Minister for Veterans Affairs CBD Police Resources The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:40): The characterisation that they have been shifted from anywhere is not a reflection of the operational deployment that has been made. They have not been shifted from anywhere. I will, as best I can, respond to the member's question. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Trade and Investment Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services Minister for Local Government Minister for Veterans Affairs The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: They have simply not been shifted from anywhere, so the characterisation of that question is one that is both difficult to respond to but also wrong in its proposition. The resources are from the existing eastern districts. As I noted in my previous answer, they are from additional operational support units within South Australia Police, including the SRS, including the Mounted Operations Unit, including the Dog Operations Unit and also other specialist operational units. I will not be delving into the hour-by-hour deployment of those FTE on the ground because the advice that I have received from the police commissioner is that it is inappropriate to do so from an operational safety perspective, but I have, and South Australia Police have, indicated the suite of additional resourcing support that has been provided. Again, I reiterate in response to the member's question that they have not been shifted or taken.
