House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time South Australia Police South Australia Police Mr TELFER House of Assembly Flinders South Australia Police Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:39): Supplementary: how many SAPOL police officers have left the force so far in 2024? The Hon. D.R. CREGAN House of Assembly Kavel Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services Special Minister of State South Australia Police The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State) (14:39): I thank the member for Flinders for his question. The attrition rate, of course, is roundabout 5 per cent. There are different factors that influence it. Can I say, too, that we have a full employment market in South Australia as of the previous figures. The latest figures are slightly different, but what they indicate to us is that this is a market that is very, very strong and, as a result, there are opportunities right across the employment market for very capable people. You know, as I know, as everybody in this parliament knows, that very well-trained police officers will be in high demand. So we will do everything with our power as the government to ensure that we are attracting and retaining the very best officers.
