The Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management is responsible for the delivery of quality policing, fire, and emergency management services in Tasmania. Comprised of Tasmania Police, the Tasmania Fire Service, the State Emergency Service, Forensic Science Service Tasmania, and Business and Executive Services, the Department is responsible to the Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Hon Mark Shelton MP.
The Tasmania Fire Service reports separately to the State Fire Commission for the purposes of financial reporting. Under governance arrangements established in 2014‑15, the State Emergency Service Director reports through the Chief Officer of the TFS. The SES is therefore incorporated within chapter 26 of this Budget Paper that provides information in relation to the State Fire Commission.
The Department is committed to providing a safe, secure and resilient Tasmania, and building individual and organisational capacity in order to provide high quality services to the Tasmanian community. This capacity will be built by continuing to value the Department’s people, striving to implement innovative ideas and continually improving the Department’s business.
The Department aims:
· to be a values‑based organisation, which embraces the values of integrity, equity and accountability;
· for the community to feel safe and be safe;
· to reduce crime;
· to improve driver behaviour through traffic law enforcement; and
· to contribute to community resilience through effective security and emergency management.
This chapter provides the Department’s financial information for 2020‑21 and over the Forward Estimates (2021‑22 to 2023‑24). Further information on the Department is provided at www.dpfem.tas.gov.au.
Table 8.1 provides a summary of the Budget and Forward Estimates allocations for key deliverables being undertaken by the Department.

Notes:
1. These initiatives will be delivered by the State Fire Commission. Further information is provided in chapter 26 of this Budget Paper.
2. The Large Vessel Replacement Program includes funding previously announced in the 2017‑18 State Budget, as well as $2.5 million of new funding announced in this Budget.
3. Funding for the TasGRN Project is appropriated to Finance‑General and is transferred to the Department’s Financial Management Specific Purpose Account. This funding profile reflects the current estimate of expenditure on the TasGRN and may be subject to change pending finalisation of project requirements.
4. Upgrade Police Housing includes funding previously announced in the 2019‑20 State Budget, as well as new funding of $8.7 million announced as part of the Government’s Construction Blitz.
Funding of $3.5 million has been allocated over 2020‑21 and 2021‑22 for the construction of a purpose‑built State Operations Centre for crisis coordination and emergency management in Tasmania.
Funding of $7 million has been allocated over 2020‑21 and 2021‑22 for the refurbishment of the Launceston Police Station.
The refurbishment will provide police officers and the community with modern, fit‑for‑purpose premises into the future. Improvements to the Police Station include amenities and security upgrades, structural repairs and internal redevelopment.
Funding of $3.7 million has been provided in 2020‑21 as part of the Government’s Public Building Maintenance Program. Projects to be delivered are maintenance, security and upgrades to Police Stations statewide.
Funding of $46.1 million has been provided over the Budget and Forward Estimates to continue Project Unify, which will upgrade a number of disparate, disconnected and ageing ICT systems that support policing operations and external clients. This funding builds on the 2018‑19 Budget allocation of $11.9 million.
The Tasmanian Government Radio Network is a collaborative project to transition eight core user organisations, currently using five separate radio communications networks, onto one unified, digital and interoperable radio network.
The TasGRN will modernise our emergency services and government agency communications. The end result will be a more reliable and resilient network enabling the provision of better services to the Tasmanian community.
A significant upgrade to the Triple Zero service was completed in 2019. The upgrade built additional functionality into the service and transitioned from in‑house management by each of the emergency services and the Digital Strategy and Services within the Department of Premier and Cabinet to a fully integrated and outsourced managed service.
Commencing in 2020‑21, additional funding of $8.7 million has been provided over two years to support a significant program of refurbishing residential housing for police officers and their families stationed in remote and regional areas of Tasmania. This funding will ensure that the housing is of good condition and will provide an economic stimulus to a number of regional Tasmanian communities.
This builds on the Government’s three previous Police Housing programs of $2 million specifically for West Coast residences and $11 million for other residences statewide.
Outputs of the Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management are provided under the following Output Groups:
· Output Group 1 ‑ Public Safety;
· Output Group 2 ‑ Crime;
· Output Group 3 ‑ Traffic Policing;
· Output Group 4 ‑ Emergency Management; and

Notes:
1. The Department’s 2020‑21 Budget and Forward Estimates include receipt and expenditure estimates for the State Fire Commission, which are transacted through the Department’s Specific Purpose Financial Management Account. The recognition of these receipt and expenditure estimates is in accordance with the treatment of Specific Purpose Account receipts and expenditure under the Financial Management Act 2016.
2. The variation in Support to the Community primarily reflects additional funding for State Fire Commission Support, Fuel Reduction Teams, and the Increased Police Numbers election commitment.
3. The decrease in State Security and Rescue Operations, in 2021‑22, is primarily due to a cost‑neutral reapportionment of fleet vehicle costs across Outputs to better reflect actual costs, partially offset by additional helicopter funding provided by Ambulance Tasmania.
4. The decrease in Capital Investment Program in 2022‑23 reflects the completion of the Government’s 2018‑19 Supporting our Emergency Services Volunteers initiative, which is being delivered by the State Fire Commission.
This Output relates to personal safety in the community, maintaining public order and the provision of safety initiatives that assist in developing safe, secure and resilient communities. Through the provision of high‑visibility targeted patrols and the establishment of partnerships with community organisations, the Department aims to ensure that the public has confidence and satisfaction in the services provided.
Services provided under this Output Group and Output Group 2 include the Department’s response to the important issue of family violence and include significant support provided to a number of other Departments in the provision of their important services.

Notes:
1. Data for 2017‑18 has been adjusted to reflect final reported figures in the Department’s 2019‑20 Annual Report.
2. The 2017‑18 and 2018‑19 actuals have been updated based upon the January 2020 Report on Government Services 2020 published by the Productivity Commission.
3. The performance measures ‘Fuel reduction burns ‑ reserved land’ and ‘Area covered by fuel reduction burns: Reserved land’ are measures associated with funding for the Government’s Fuel Reduction Program. Reserved land burns are conducted by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment as the lead agency and may involve multiple tenures, including private land.
4. The performance measure ‘Fuel reduction burns ‑ other land’ and ‘Area covered by fuel reduction burns: Other land’ ensure that Fuel reduction burn reporting is inclusive of all land types other than reserved land. These burns can be undertaken by a number of entities including the Tasmanian Fire Service, local government, Sustainable Timber Tasmania and private land management companies. This includes multiple tenure burning, including private land.
This Output relates to the detection and apprehension of offenders, including investigation of serious and organised crime. Through crime detection strategies and legislative reform, the Department aims to reduce the number of offences committed against both people and property.
This Output focuses on the protection and security of poppy crops, the prevention of poppy crop interferences and the targeting of offenders through investigative techniques. The involvement of industry groups in the protection and security of poppies contributes to the reduction in the number of poppy diversions onto the illicit market.
This Output relates to marine safety and the protection of State and Australian Government marine resources, through the provision of marine compliance and enforcement activities. By using a combination of overt and covert sea patrols, and in‑port, at sea and fish processor inspections, the Department is able to target offenders, facilitate the protection and security of marine resources in both the recreational and commercial fishing sectors and ensure the safety of vessel operators.
This Output relates to policing services that support the judicial system, such as, the prosecution of offenders; provision of diversionary programs; bail/warrant processing; victim support services and investigation; and clerical and investigation services on behalf of the coroner. In addition, the Department plays a lead role in the reduction and management of family violence in Tasmania.

Notes:
1. The variation in Cash and deposits, Receivables and Payables reflects a more accurate estimate based on the 30 June 2019 outcome.
2. The variation in Property, plant and equipment, Infrastructure, and Intangibles reflects the timing of the Capital Investment Program.
3. The variation in Other assets and Other liabilities in 2021 primarily reflects a change in the accounting treatment for the recognition of leases. Further information on this change is provided in chapter 1 of this Budget Paper.
4. The decrease in Interest bearing liabilities over the Budget and Forward Estimates reflects the completion of existing lease agreements. New lease agreements will be reflected in the Budget as contracts are finalised.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation receipts - operating, in 2020‑21, primarily reflects additional funding for State Fire Commission Support, Fuel Reduction Teams, and Increased Police Numbers.
2. These estimates reflect funding for the Capital Investment Program, which varies significantly from year to year due to the cash flow requirements of specific projects. Refer to Table 8.7 for further information on capital projects.
3. The variation in Grants in 2020‑21 primarily reflects funding transferred to the Department from Finance‑General to meet TasGRN Project expenditure in 2020‑21. Funding for project expenditure in future years will be transferred following the finalisation of project requirements.
4. The increase in GST receipts and GST payments reflects a more accurate estimate based on the 30 June 2019 outcome.
5. The Department’s 2020‑21 Budget and Forward Estimates include receipts and expenditure estimates for the State Fire Commission, which are transacted through the Department’s Specific Purpose Financial Management Account. The recognition of these estimates is in accordance with the treatment of Specific Purpose Account receipts and expenditure under the Financial Management Act 2016.
6. The increase in Employee benefits and Superannuation in 2020‑21 primarily reflects the State Fire Commission’s contribution to the Department for Business and Executive Services and SES costs. This is offset by revenue included under Other cash receipts.
7. The increase in Grants and subsidies in 2020‑21 primarily reflects State Government funding for State Fire Commission Support and Fuel Reduction Teams.
8. The variation in Supplies and consumables in 2020‑21 primarily reflects expenditure on the TasGRN Project in 2020‑21.
9. The increase in Payments for acquisition of non‑financial assets in 2020‑21 reflects funding for Project Unify and capital funding rolled over from 2019‑20 for the New Norfolk Police Station, Sorell Emergency Services Hub, Police Infrastructure and Longford Police Station.
