68. Police Grievance Time Limits

Mr MILLS to MINISTER for POLICE, FIRE and EMERGENCY SERVICES

1. What general time limits apply to correspondence in the police force under the provisions of Police General Orders?

2. What exceptions exist for compliance with the general correspondence time limits within the police force?

3. Why is it that it took 568 days for a formal written response to be provided to Constable Steven Isles by the NT Police in respect to his employee grievance lodged on 23 July 2007?

4. Is 568 days the standard time it takes to deal with a grievance?

5. What is the average time taken to respond to and finalise an employee grievance?

6. How many employee grievances are currently active?

7. Would you please detail, in relation to each current grievance:

the date the grievance was lodged; and

the date a formal written response to the grievance (not acknowledgement of receipt of the grievance) was forwarded to the aggrieved member.

8. Has Constable Steven Isles been provided with advice that his employment will be terminated under Section 87 of the Police Administration Act and, if so, what are the grounds for his termination?

ANSWER

1. General Order titled Correspondence applies a general rule for internal correspondence to be addressed within 14 days. It should be noted that this order relates to all documentation that does not otherwise have prescribed or required time frames.

2. Time frames defined by the General Order are applied to the individual required to efficiently action the correspondence; however, the period specified may not be representative of the actual time taken to acquit. In cases where a period in excess of 14 days is required, an interim response is provided.

3. Without an authority to release specific information from Mr Isles, it is not appropriate to release such information.

In general terms, there are circumstances where employees will lodge a grievance and, although a response is (or a number of responses are) subsequently provided, the employee may be of the opinion that a response, to their satisfaction, was not received. In such instances, the employer and employee will meet and agree, through mediation, what necessary information or actions are required to resolve the grievance.

Matters of grievance are, in the main, not readily or easily resolved. In recognition of this, the Northern Territory Police Force has in place a hierarchy of reporting and response that facilitates resolution at the most appropriate level. Where this is not successful, and in accordance with governing industrial and policy requirements, the grievance or complaint is progressed to higher levels in order to find that resolution.

To ensure that grievances are dealt with in the most effective and efficient manner, grievances relating to equal employment opportunities are dealt with differently than those relating to disputed assessments or administrative decisions. It is the position of the NT Police Force that the complaint of Steven Isles was dealt with pursuant to and in accordance with industrial and policy requirements.

4. Formal grievances lodged by an individual member, or by the NT Police Association on behalf of a member, will often cover a broad range of issues. Many of these are complex in nature and often address multiple issues.

The vast majority of grievances are dealt with in relatively short periods of time; however, the more complex the issue, the longer the time frame taken to address. In some instances where a member cannot accept a determination relating to a grievance, the member will absent themselves from the workplace on extended periods of sick leave. In these circumstances, it is both in the interest of the employer and the employee to reach resolution in as expeditious a manner possible. Unfortunately, a number of these cases become ongoing disputed worker’s compensation claims that can take years to fully resolve.

5. This information is not readily available. As discussed, some grievance matters may stretch for years if legal action is required, while others are satisfactorily resolved within a matter of hours at supervisory or manager level.

6. There is only one active employee grievance currently being dealt with by the Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment.

7. The employee lodged the grievance with OCPE, dated 24 April 2009 following an internal investigation completed on 8 January 2009. The employee was advised of the outcome of the internal investigation and given a copy of the internal report on 13 January 2009.

8. Without an authority to release specific information from Mr Isles, it is not appropriate to release such information.

Operations

2. What was the reason that there were 6739 less police hours recorded under the road safety output group in the 2007-08 year than originally estimated?

ANSWER

The measure of officer hours estimates the hours that frontline staff are available to provide a service. A frontline staff member is any operational officer who delivers a service directly to an external customer.

The forecasting method for the quantity performance indicator of frontline hours involves the estimation of the number of frontline staff applied to each task within the output framework and is calculated by means of an activity survey. Estimation is difficult as frontline hours are influenced by factors such as training and leave, and unforeseen events

The methodology used to calculate actual frontline hours worked was to take a sample day per month of activity by operational staff, extrapolate the hours worked on those days for the quarter and then distribute those hours across the outputs using the results of the activity survey. This methodology provides a snapshot of average activity but will not necessarily reflect actual resources devoted to a specific incident output over the entire reporting period.

4. How many sick leave days were taken by NT Police officers.

ANSWER

From 1 July 2008 to 31 May 2009, sick leave taken by NT Police members (inclusive of paid and unpaid inoperatives, ACPOs and Police Auxiliaries) was 13131.27 days. This is an average of 1193 days per month or less than one day per month per police member.

NT Police currently benchmark with Australasian Police a range of organisational and individual occupational health and safety measures including sick leave, physical and psychological injury.

Causes of sick leave can be work or non-work related. As with all policing jurisdictions, sick leave usage is trending upwards. While uniformed members attract generous sick leave provisions, work related or non-related sick leave usage in the NT Police was below the national police average in 2007-08.

While NT Police has a lower than the national policing average rate of incidents reported, there is a higher than average strain/sprain rate. This is due to a small number of complex fractures which has also results in a slightly higher than average lost time rate. The psychological injury rate for NT Police is lower than the national police average.

5. What was the total amount of compensation paid to NT police officers? Please categorise by psychological, physical or psychological and physical category or other.

ANSWER

Between 1 July 2008 and 31 May 2009, 192 serving Police members were paid weekly benefits totalling $563 460.85. Currently there are 192 workers compensation claims by serving police members. The breakdown of these 192 claims are:

15 psychological ($281 639.23)
169 physical ($281 821.62)
8 biohazard ($0.00).

While NT Police has a lower than policing average rate of incidents reported, there is a higher than average strain/sprain rate. This is due to a small number of complex fractures which has also given a slightly higher than average lost time rate. The psychological injury rate for NT Police is lower than the national average.

1. How many breath testing stations operated in the NT? Please include details of location, hours of operation, number of police officers involved, number of drivers tested, number of drivers recording low BAC readings, number of drivers recording mid BAC readings, number of drivers recording high range readings, number of drivers who recorded positive readings and were driving under a zero blood alcohol conditions, number of drivers who refused to provide a breath sample and number of drivers who failed to submit to a blood test.

2. How many RBTs were conducted as part of an officer’s routine duties? Please include details of location, number of drivers recording low BAC readings, number of drivers recording mid BAC readings, number of drivers recording high range readings, number of drivers who recorded positive readings and were driving under a zero blood alcohol conditions, number of drivers who refused to provide a breath sample and number of drivers who failed to submit to a blood test.

ANSWER

All Northern Territory Police Force operational members conduct breath testing of road users as part of their core policing responsibilities. Directions to breath test all drivers apprehended and spoken to were issued. Members from all Commands conduct small and large RBT Stations during their shift where practical in an endeavour to raise awareness in road users and to remove drink drivers from the road.

A cyclical calendar of RBT Stations to be conducted weekly in the Greater Darwin area was produced. The other Regional Centres and Stations have also implemented their RBT Station initiatives and programs. These high profile RBT Stations are to raise awareness with all road users and are supplemented by smaller and more frequent RBT Stations.

A total of 113 309 Roadside Breath Tests were conducted throughout the NT during 1 July 2008 and 31 May 2009 compared to 92 690 for same period in 2007-08 representing a 22.2% increase. These tests were carried out at random traffic apprehensions and dedicated roadside RBT Stations.

Traffic Accidents

Output Group 3
Operations

1. How many accidents (non fatal) were contributed in part or whole to alcohol.

ANSWER

There were 125 non-fatal alcohol related crashes.

Please note that the crash records of Police have been sent to DPI electronically since December 2008. As the validation of data is done manually by DPI at the moment, the process is slow and it is estimated that the Vehicle Accident Database (VADB) contained only 30% of non-fatal crash data as from January 2009. Also, there are crashes still under investigations and waiting for toxicology results.

2. Please list all those accidents by actual location, time of day, day of the week and list all contributing factors for each accident.

ANSWER

This information is impractical to provide as the list would contain at least 125 pages.

Speeding

Output Group 3
Operations

1. What were the locations and hours of operation for each speed camera throughout the Territory.

ANSWER

The Northern Territory Police Force has three mobile speed camera vans, two stationed in Darwin and one in Alice Springs. The vans are utilised in any location that meets the criteria for establishment which includes set distance from speed zone changes, line of sight distance and obstruction free locations. These parameters ensure natural justice to all road users and reduced contested matters.

Currently there are approximately 2000 sites that have been used as speed camera van sites to set up and operate over the past 11 months.

Regional and local intelligence is utilised in the decision making process for site selection, further criteria are traffic flow densities, seasonal impact, school times and targeted hotspots where known offenders are recorded for time of day, day of the week and specific events occurring such as the V8s, Regional rodeos, sports days, Hidden Valley drag meets etcetera.

A balance is used between targeting offenders and high profile positioning for awareness impact on road users. Hours of operation vary dependant on staff rostering, weather conditions, vehicle and equipment repairs, calibration and servicing.

Data is not collected in respect of specific van or camera workload.

Traffic Infringements

Output Group 3
Operations

1. How many drivers have been issued infringement notices for driving without a seatbelt.

ANSWER

It should be noted there has been a significant decrease in the past several months across the board for detections of fail to wear seatbelts. This may be attributed to the increased enforcement through Operation ‘RAID’, the Christmas Traffic Campaign, the ‘Back to School’ Campaign and DPI’s Seatbelt media campaign. In comparison to the previous year there has been an overall increase in detection through increased enforcement.

For the period 1 July to 30 April 2009 a total of 2894 infringements have been issued. A similar, but not same, period for previous year is also shown for reference.

Protective Custody, Police Horses and Police Dogs

Output Group 1
Strategic Planning Command

1. List the number of people taken into protective custody for each police station within the Territory.

ANSWER

The Northern Territory Police Social Order Crime Reduction Strategy was implemented in 2007. A key focus of this strategy is to address social order issues assertively and with a sense of urgency and consistency. Alcohol misuse is a major factor underpinning social order issues in the Northern Territory. Reports to police of disorderly and offensive behaviour are received from members of the public as well as being detected through active policing and patrolling of hot spots.

Persons located in public places, trespassing on private property or within Prescribed Areas (under the

Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007

- Commonwealth) who are intoxicated (seriously affected by alcohol or drugs) can be apprehended and detained. Options for safe custody of the intoxicated person include at a house where a responsible adult can provide care, a sobering-up shelter or a police watch-house.

In the period 1 July 2008 to 31 May 2009 32 678 persons were detained in police facilities. This compares with 27 201 persons for the comparative period in the previous year. This equates to an increase of 20.1%.
