7 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE, FIRE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

AGENCY OUTLINEThe Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management is responsible for the delivery of quality policing, fire and emergency management services in Tasmania. Comprised of Tasmania Police, the Tasmania Fire Service, the State Emergency Service, Forensic Science Service Tasmania, and Business and Executive Services, the Department is responsible to the Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Hon Rene Hidding MP.

The Tasmania Fire Service reports separately to the State Fire Commission for the purposes of financial reporting. Under governance arrangements established in 2014-15, the State Emergency Service (SES) Director reports through the Chief Officer of the Tasmania Fire Service. The SES is therefore incorporated within chapter 24 of this Budget Paper which provides information in relation to the State Fire Commission.

The Department is committed to providing a safe, secure and resilient Tasmania and building individual and organisational capacity in order to provide high quality services to the Tasmanian community. This capacity will be built by continuing to value the Department's people, striving to implement innovative ideas and continually improving the Department's business.

The Department aims:

to be a values-based organisation, which embraces the values of integrity, equity and accountability;

for the community to feel safe and be safe;

to reduce crime;

to improve driver behaviour through traffic law enforcement; and

to contribute to community resilience through effective security and emergency management.

This chapter provides the Department's financial information for 2017-18 and over the Forward Estimates period (2018-19 to 2020-21) and the performance targets the Department aims to achieve. Further information on the Department is provided at www.dpem.tas.gov.au.

Aerial Fire AppliancesFunding of $3.8 million has been provided by the Government in 2017-18 for aerial fire appliances to replace existing and ageing infrastructure. Aerial fire appliances are specialist equipment primarily designed to provide an elevated platform for rescue or firefighting in high rise structures. They can be used as a high volume water tower or as a ground level firefighting appliance. This funding will be provided by the Department to the State Fire Commission to fund the purchase of these capital items.

Body Worn VideoBody Worn Video is a specialised form of technology a user wears to capture video and audio from a first person perspective. The use of Body Worn Video by policing jurisdictions is increasing, with most Australian and international bodies using or trialing this technology as an additional tool to assist police officers perform their duties safely and to gather contemporaneous evidence and intelligence. Funding of $3.5 million, over four years, has been provided for this initiative, which includes $2.7 million in recurrent funding and $716 000 in capital funding.

154 Police, Fire and Emergency Management

District Headquarters and Major Support Service Building RefurbishmentThis funding is to maintain major police facilities across the State such as the Tasmania Police Academy, District headquarters and Support Services buildings. All buildings are due for major works to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the Tasmanian community, are safe and functional, and meet the Government's policy objectives.

Emergency AlertThis funding is allocated to assist in the provision of an emergency warning system, as agreed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in 2009. Emergency Alert is the national telephone warning system used by emergency management agencies. The system sends voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobile phones within a defined area, about likely or actual emergencies such as fire, flood, acts of terrorism or extreme weather events.

Emergency Services Computer Aided Dispatch (ESCAD) SystemThis Project addresses the replacement of the three computer aided dispatch systems currently in operation within Tasmania Police, Tasmania Fire Service, State Emergency Service and Ambulance Tasmania, with a combined emergency services computer aided dispatch system. This will improve the responsiveness of emergency services to the full range of emergency events and provide for more efficient inter-agency operations and realisation of efficiencies through economies of scale. In addition to the $2 million of existing capital funding allocated for this project in 2017-18, the Government has allocated a further $1.8 million of recurrent funding in 2017-18 and $2 million ongoing for this project to support operational costs.

Fuel Reduction ProgramThe Fuel Reduction Program is a Statewide, 'tenure blind' risk-based program of burns to reduce fuel in the areas that pose the greatest risk to the Tasmanian community. Funding was transferred from the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment to the Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management in 2016-17, as the Fuel Reduction Unit resides within the Tasmania Fire Service. This transfer results in a more efficient funding basis for fuel reduction activities.

As part of the 2017-18 Budget, the Government has fully funded the Program over the Forward Estimates period. This funding includes $500 000 per annum which will be allocated to fuel reduction activities in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA).

Health and Wellbeing ProgramThe Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management and Ambulance Tasmania are emergency first responder agencies incorporating Police, Fire, Ambulance and the State Emergency Service. As such, officers employed in these services are susceptible to injury, both physical and mental, with a high instance of post-traumatic stress disorder, stress and anxiety. Funding of $1.5 million per annum has been provided by the Government for a pro-active preventative program in relation to both physical and mental health, providing intervention and support as necessary. This initiative is critical to the health and wellbeing of workers and ultimately, the health and efficiency of the organisations.


Large Vessel Replacement ProgramA total of $4.7 million is provided for a progressive and ongoing procurement program to ensure that vessels are replaced at regular intervals and are fit for purpose. The funding provided reflects the future replacement of the offshore police patrol vessels PV Dauntless and PV Van Diemen.

Project UnifyProject Unify is a Digital Transformation initiative to upgrade a number of disparate, disconnected and ageing Police ICT systems that directly and indirectly support policing operations and external clients. For the Department to ensure safe and effective service delivery into the future, information data management systems will be replaced, including core structures and interfaces. This work will see the ongoing burden of maintaining ageing, legacy ICT infrastructure reduced and allows the Department to focus its resources on supporting the community.

Recurrent funding of $1.2 million and capital funding of $11.9 million has been provided for Project Unify as part of the Digital Transformation Priority Expenditure Program in Finance-General.

Rebuilding the Police ServiceThis 2014 election commitment provided ongoing funding to rebuild the police service through the employment of an extra 108 officers, enhancing the public order response capability and establishing a Serious Organised Crime Unit, which includes a cold case capability.

Shoplifting Prevention Awareness CampaignFunding of $115 000 has been provided in 2017-18 for a Shoplifting Awareness Campaign to be conducted by Crimestoppers to raise awareness amongst the Tasmanian retail sector, business community and consumers. The Campaign will be evidence-based and will feature four phases: Research, Solution Development, Implementation and Analysis and Review.

The Campaign will support a philosophy of engage early, collaborate fully and achieve success. The Campaign has the capacity to impact positively on Tasmania’s retail business sector and enhance public safety through the development of innovative crime prevention solutions and increased avenues to report crime.

State Emergency Service Transition to the Tasmania Fire ServiceFunding for two years, from 2016-17, was provided to assist in the transition of the State Emergency Service (SES) to the State Fire Commission while sustainable funding options are developed. Management arrangements were revised in 2014-15 and the SES Director now reports through the Chief Officer of the Tasmania Fire Service.

Upgrade Police HousingThis funding supports a significant program of refurbishing residential housing for police officers and their families stationed in remote and regional areas of Tasmania. The majority of the housing stock is in excess of 35 years old. This funding will ensure that the housing is of good condition and fit for purpose and that officers and their families continue to take up residence in remote locations.

Notes:1. The decrease in 2015-16 from 2014-15 reflects a Departmental decision to change the way public order incidents

were calculated, with vehicle complaints removed from the performance measure.2. Data for 2014-15 has been adjusted to reflect 2015-16 dollars.


3. The performance measures 'Fuel reduction burns - reserved land' and 'Area covered by fuel reduction burns' are measures associated with funding transferred in the 2016-17 Budget from the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE). Reserved land burns are conducted by DPIPWE as the lead agency and may involve multiple tenures including private land.

4. The performance measure 'Fuel reduction burns - other land' has been added to ensure that Fuel reduction burn reporting is inclusive of all land types. These burns can be undertaken by a number of entities including Tasmanian Fire Service, local government, Forestry Tasmania and private land management companies. This includes multiple tenure burning, including private land.

5. The figures for 2015-16 are low in comparison to 2014-15 and anticipated targets due to poor conditions for burning, as well as resources being diverted to an extended bushfire response. Burns undertaken in that year were strategically selected for maximum risk reduction. It should also be noted that risk reanalysis work undertaken by the Fuel Reduction Unit shows a 4 per cent reduction in relative risk statewide, a significant result at a whole of landscape scale.

6. These performance measures were transferred from Output 2: Crime to provide greater alignment of person-related crimes and to acknowledge recommendations from the Tasmanian Audit Office Performance Measures Comparative Assessment report (30 June 2015).

7. Data for 2014-15 has been adjusted to reflect final reported figures in the Department's 2015-16 Annual Report.

Output Group 2: Crime

2.1 Investigation of CrimeThis Output relates to the detection and apprehension of offenders, including investigation of serious and organised crime. Through crime detection strategies and legislative reform, the Department aims to reduce the number of offences committed against both people and property.

2.2 Poppy SecurityThis Output focuses on the protection and security of poppy crops, the prevention of poppy crop interferences and the targeting of offenders through investigative techniques. The involvement of industry groups in the protection and security of poppies contributes to the reduction in the number of poppy diversions onto the illicit market.

2.3 Fisheries Security This Output relates to marine safety and the protection of State and Australian Government marine resources, through the provision of marine compliance and enforcement activities. By using a combination of overt and covert sea patrols, and in-port, at sea and fish processor inspections, the Department is able to target offenders, facilitate the protection and security of marine resources in both the recreational and commercial fishing sectors and ensure the safety of vessel operators.

2.4 Support to Judicial ServicesThis Output relates to policing services that support the judicial system, such as, the prosecution of offenders; provision of diversionary programs; bail/warrant processing; victim support services and investigation; and clerical and investigation services on behalf of the coroner. In addition, the Department plays a lead role in the reduction and management of family violence in Tasmania.
