Question NW2664 to the Minister of Police
05 October 2018 - NW2664
Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
(1) Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1783 on 18 June 2018, and in view of the fact that the Norkem Park Police Station has four sectors, he has found that the optimal number of police officers for visible policing should actually be 64, in correlation with four members per shift per sector for four shifts; if not, how can the specified police station be expected to fulfil its requirement of two sector vehicles patrolling each sector at all times; (2) given the inevitability of police officers taking leave, including but not limited to family responsibility leave, sick leave, study leave and annual leave, what number of additional visible police officers should the police station have in order to ensure that two vehicles per sector are patrolling at all times?

(2) The Norkem Park Police Station consists of four sectors, with two members, per sector, per shift and one vehicle. In order to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles, per sector, to patrol at all times the following additional resources are required:
