Keeping and destruction of restricted records
8 Keeping and destruction of restricted records
In this section, a reference to a restricted record is to be read as a reference to a restricted record that is in the possession of the Police Force, whether made before or after the commencement of section 35 of the Commonwealth Act.
Except while a restricted record is being dealt with in accordance with this Act or the Commonwealth Act, the Commissioner must cause the restricted record to be kept in a secure place so that it is not accessible to persons who are not entitled to deal with it.
The Commissioner must cause a restricted record to be destroyed without delay if he or she is satisfied that the record is not likely to be required for a permitted purpose in relation to the Police
Force, other than a purpose connected with an inspection or a report on an inspection.
