A SIX-MONTH policing trial aimed at reducing the demand on officers and dropping the crime rate has been such a success that the model will be rolled out across Perth by the end of the year.
The new police operating model was trialled in the South East Metropolitan District from November to May, with the region moving from sixth to second best performing district compared with the previous year.
Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan said the model relied on "neighbourhood policing" so police teams were only responsible for a couple of suburbs each.
"They develop relationships with the local community (and) people can ring them direct on their mobile phones," he told Fairfax radio on Thursday.
"They know the kids who play up, families who play up (and) where people congregate in parks."
Mr O'Callaghan said 10 per cent of the population was creating 90 per cent of the problem for police.
"People are being driven mad by these people who are out of control in the neighbourhood," he said.
The commissioner said local governments and the wider community had embraced the trial, giving him confidence to widen the model across Perth.
The new model will see four larger districts each made up of 550 officers divided into response, local policing teams and investigations, all co-ordinated through a 24/7 district control centre.
The next phase will begin in September when the South Metropolitan and Peel districts combine to form the new South Metropolitan District.
By the end of the year, Central and East will form another district, along with North West and West.
Some suburbs may transfer to balance demand across these new, larger districts, Mr O'Callaghan said.
The model will not apply in regional WA.
