Legislative Assembly Question No. 441

Police Force - Recruitment and Training Costs

Mr Humphries: To ask the Attorney General - In relation to training of ACT Police Officers in each of the last two financial years

(1) What has been the total cost to the Government to (a) recruit, (b) kit out and (c) train police officers to basic level.

(2) What is the total cost, including meals, to the Government to accommodate new members at the residential Barton College over the 16 week course period.

Mr Connolly: the answer to Mr Humphries question is as follows:

(1)(i) As the recruitment, kitout and training of new members to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) is a national responsibility the costs are met by the Commonwealth. In providing police services to the ACT, the AFP provides fully trained and equipped officers and charges the Government for them on the basis of a personal unit cost (Paragraph (2) (b) of Schedule C of the Commonwealth/ACT Policing Arrangement refers. Schedule C figures are now out of date but the charging principles are the same).

(ii) The AFP did not conduct training courses for new members during the 1991/92 financial year.

(2) See 1 above
