This is the emotional audio of the moment Cleo Smith was found, telling police officers: “My name is Cleo ... ”

The incredible moment Cleo first spoke to police officers after she was found in a house in Carnarvon has been revealed.

WA Police have posted an audio clip of the moment they found the four-year-old.

When they entered the house, officers are heard saying: "We’ve got her. We’ve got her.

“Hey Bubby. Come here. Come here. I’ve got you bubby.

“What’s your name? You’re all right.

“What’s your name? What’s your name sweetheart?”

She replies: “My name is Cleo.”

“Your name is Cleo?” an officer says.

“Hello Cleo.”

The voices of at least three officers could be heard reassuring the little girl that she was safe.

Detective Sergeant Cameron Blaine said yesterday he knew it was Cleo, but wanted confirmation.

“To see her sitting there, was incredible,” he said on Wednesday.

“I asked her what her name was as one of the guys jumped in front of me and picked her up.

“I just wanted to be absolutely sure.

“It certainly looked like Cleo, I wanted to be sure and I asked her ‘what’s your name?’ and she didn’t answer and I said what’s your name?’, she didn’t answer again so I asked a third time and she looked at me and said ‘my name is Cleo’.

“And that was it, we turned around and walked out of that house.”

On Thursday, Sgt Blaine said Cleo was found with the lights on and playing with toys.

He also discussed the plan before they raided the house in Carnarvon.

“When we left for the day, on a Tuesday I think, as we started to settle in for the night, it was going to happen.

“We had some plans around what could happen, one of them was that the suspect that we were observing would be mobile and would leave the premises so in terms of decisions, it was not harder because we said, we talk about all the different scenarios so what happened was one of the scenarios and it was clear mind what had to occur and that’s just how it went down,” he said.
