Answer

I am advised that, since February 2026, Police has encouraged staff to reduce non-operational fuel use where practicable. This has resulted in the cancellation or deferral of some inter district travel and events, increased use of online meetings, and more efficient travel practices where travel is necessary. I am further advised that no changes have been made to operational fuel use or storage since February 2026.
