Commissioner of Police

In reply to the Hon. R.I. LUCAS (5 July 2016).

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I am advised:

No other items of clothing were borrowed or used by the Commissioner, or his family.

The register to which Mr Lucas refers is understood to be the SAPOL gift register pursuant to the Department of Premier and Cabinet PC035—Proactive Disclosure of Regularly Requested Information, and the item referred to was not included as Ms Stevens is not an employee.

Where there is a connection between the acceptance of a gift and the officer’s employment then the officer is required to report the acceptance of that gift to the Commissioner. Where the Commissioner accepts a gift it is recorded in accordance with PC035.
