ALMOST 200 police officers are set to quit the West Australian force under a voluntary severance scheme designed to put more police on the streets.
Police Minister Liza Harvey says the government had approved terms to release 196 highly experienced officers who are no longer fit for "frontline duties''.
The severance payouts are set to cost about $37 million and will come from the police budget.
Ms Harvey says shipping the officers out will leave room and money to hire younger officers who can perform those duties.
``Many of these officers have served long careers in the police service but are no longer considered fit for frontline duties,'' Ms Harvey said today.
``The state government thanks them for helping make our community a safer place to live.''
The average age of the departing officers is 57, compared with the WA police's average age of 33.
Under the state government's Frontline 2020 review of the police, officers were allowed to access the severance package offered to all WA public servants earlier this year.
Under the state government's Public Sector Workforce Reform initiative, the government aims to slash 1200 jobs from across all agencies.
