Answer

I am advised that Police’s conversations with maritime partner agencies provided assurance that after-hours response capability and capacity was available and that by Police maintaining a 24/7 maritime response co-ordination role this would provide appropriate alternatives, recognising the minimal demand for after-hours deployment.
