The following can be attributed to WA Police Union President Harry Arnott:
The WA Police Union welcomes today’s verdict.
We supported our Member throughout the entire ordeal, which never should have reached the courts.
He is a dedicated police auxiliary officer, doing a difficult job in difficult circumstances, and that has been recognised by the court.
This is a great outcome for him and his family.
Although our Member has been aquitted by the magistrate, he will still be subject to a managerial interview.
We will continue to support and stand by him throughout this process.
