Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Police Stations Police Stations The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council Police Stations The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:10): Will the minister acknowledge the local concern in the Salisbury community that assurances are required of the numbers and extent of officers returning to front-line duties should the proposed reduction in operating hours and the expected improvement to community safety occur? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety Police Stations The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:11): What I can assure the honourable member is that I have zero doubt about the fact that when the police commissioner is making the decisions that he is currently in the process of making, the thing he is putting at the top of the list is community safety. When he makes decisions around the allocation of SAPOL officers to be at this station over here or to be on that task force over there, every decision that he makes is done so with the community and public safety in mind. That is something that I have a lot of confidence in, and I would very much hope that everyone in this chamber supports him in those efforts.
