Road Safety

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (3 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

Road safety policing is continuously carried out by all police active on South Australian roads, whether travelling for other duties, on general patrols or specifically focussed on road safety related policing.

Traffic Services Branch has an establishment of 361 FTE and Media Road Safety Unit has a FTE of six. Both these units have a sole focus on road safety duties.

In addition, Community Engagement Branch perform split functions which includes a significant focus on road safety duties.

Other front line police resources from Metropolitan Operations Service, State Operations Service, Criminal Investigation Branch and a range of other operational areas also focus on road safety as part of their broader range of duties.
