Notes:<br />
1. Data for this indicator relates only to areas covered by the computer aided dispatch database. These areas include<br />
Cairns, Townsville, Metropolitan North, Metropolitan South, Logan and the Gold Coast. The increase in the 2001-02<br />
estimated actual figure is due to expansion <strong>of</strong> the format and definition <strong>of</strong> this measure.<br />
2. Derived from the AC Nielsen National Survey <strong>of</strong> Community Satisfaction with Policing July to December 2001.<br />
3. 2001-02 estimate was based on the Australian Bureau <strong>of</strong> Statistics Population Survey Monitor: 2000 Calendar Year:<br />
Community Perceptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Service</strong>s results. In 2001 the Population Survey Monitor ceased and was replaced<br />
with the AC Nielsen National Survey <strong>of</strong> Community Satisfaction with Policing. Caution should be shown in comparing<br />
results from the two surveys due to survey methodology differences.<br />
4. Due to the time frames for the 2002-03 Budget, it is not possible to provide good order <strong>of</strong>fence data for the full 2001-02<br />
financial year. Therefore, good order <strong>of</strong>fence data are based on an estimation <strong>of</strong> July 2001-March 2002 statistics.<br />
5. Good order <strong>of</strong>fences include <strong>of</strong>fences relating to indecent behaviour, obscene language, disorderly behaviour, obstruct<br />
police, fare evasion and other <strong>of</strong>fences against good order. The rate <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fences refers to the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fences per<br />
100,000 population. The estimate for 2002-03 reflects the anticipated net balance <strong>of</strong> increases in detected good order<br />
<strong>of</strong>fences associated with the deployment <strong>of</strong> additional police resources, and the impact <strong>of</strong> strategies directed toward<br />
reducing the incidence <strong>of</strong> good order <strong>of</strong>fences such as diversion.<br />
