Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:39): (920) My question is for the Minister for Police. As the summer months are quickly approaching, the southern Mornington Peninsula will experience a major influx of visitors and short-term residents. This will put significant pressure on our local amenity and our emergency services, especially our local police. Traffic management, public safety and other police functions are frequently in higher demand over the busy holiday period, and it is important that locals and visitors are kept safe. I personally want to take this opportunity to recognise the great work that Victoria Police does and the dedication shown by officers to keep our community safe and secure. My question to the minister is: how many additional police will be allocated to the southern peninsula over the summer period to ensure my community have all of the services they need?
