KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS CERTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 I hereby certify that the Performance Indicators are based on proper records, are relevant and appropriate for assisting users to assess the Western Australia Police Service’s performance, and fairly represent the performance of the Western Australia Police Service for the financial year ended 30 June 2005. KARL J O’CALLAGHAN APM COMMISSIONER OF POLICE 10 August 2005 INDEPENDENT AUDIT OPINION To the Parliament of Western Australia POLICE SERVICE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005 AUDIT OPINION In my opinion, the key effectiveness and efficiency performance indicators of the Police Service are relevant and appropriate to help users assess the Police Service’s performance and fairly represent the indicated performance for the year ended 30 June 2005. SCOPE The Commissioner of Police’s Role The Commissioner of Police is responsible for developing and maintaining proper records and systems for preparing performance indicators. The performance indicators consist of key indicators of effectiveness and efficiency. Summary of my Role As required by the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985, I have independently audited the performance indicators to express an opinion on them. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence. An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the performance indicators is error free, nor does it examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the performance indicators. D D R PEARSON AUDITOR GENERAL 9 September 2005 55 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS I N T R O D U C T I O N 56 Under the provisions of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985 and Treasurer’s Instruction 904, agencies are required to disclose in their annual report key effectiveness and efficiency indicators that provide information on the extent to which agency level government desired outcomes have been achieved, or contributed to, through the delivery of services and the allocation of resources. As a result of an extensive review in 2003-04, the WA Police Service adopted a new Outcome Based Management (OBM) framework in 2004-05 to facilitate, monitor and evaluate the best use of resources for policing. Continual evaluation of its performance measures ensures it provides performance information to assist in management decision-making as well as meeting accountability and disclosure requirements. Through this framework, the WA Police Service use key effectiveness and efficiency indicators showing how services contributed to the achievement of outcomes and explaining how key performance indicators show this relationship. OUTCOME FRAMEWORK The policing priorities are structured around three primary outcomes: Lawful behaviour and community safety; Offenders apprehended and dealt with in accordance with the law; and Lawful road-user behaviour. These primary outcomes contribute towards Goal 1 (People and Communities) in Better Planning: Better Services – State Strategic Planning Framework“To enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of all people throughout Western Australia”. There are five services that relate to the three outcomes and these describe the policing services provided to the community. As part of continuous improvement, the services were reviewed to better reflect the WA Police Service’s strategic focus and achievement of primary outcomes. As a result of this review, seven services instead of five, will be reported against next year. In this revised structure, Service 1: Services to maintain lawful behaviour and prevent crime will be replaced by the following three new services: Service 1: Intelligence and protective services. Service 2: Crime prevention and public order. Service 3: Community support
