37851 (2024). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Police: How many incidents involving people on the National Gang List have Police attended since 27 November 2023?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised that the Police system used for recording attended events, Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), does not have information about specific people. CAD is an operational system designed to enable unit dispatch and event management. Events may be later categorised in more detail when they are transferred to the National Intelligence Application (NIA). NIA allows more information to be recorded, such as the precise offence, incident, or task codes, and detail of all individuals involved in each offence or incident. However, NIA does not have information about attendance at all events – not all attended events get transferred to NIA (for example, those that are closed as “Police attendance sufficient”). Therefore, this question cannot be responded to.
