Question
I refer to Senior Community Corrections Officers (CCO's) and High Risk Serious Offenders in WA, and I ask:(a) What are the current caseload ratios for CCOs managing high-risk offenders today;(b) Following a 2019 incident where an offender (Leon Patrick) was unmonitored for 4.5 hours after cutting off his GPS device, how many instances of intentional device tampering or "Home Unit Tampers" have been recorded by the Community Offender Monitoring Unit in the last 24 months; and(c) Given NDIS support workers are for disability assistance and are not empowered to intervene during a breach or immediate threat, how are Corrective Services ensuring that community safety is not being compromised by a reliance on NDIS wraparound supports as the critical factor for release?
