Chief executive’s power to obtain criminal history report
63 Chief executive’s power to obtain criminal history report
The chief executive may ask the commissioner of the police service for a written report about the criminal history of a person if an inspector reasonably suspects the person—
may be present at a place when the inspector enters the place under part 2; and
may create an unacceptable level of risk to the inspector’s safety.
The commissioner of the police service must give the report to the chief executive.
However, the report is required to contain only criminal history in the commissioner’s possession or to which the commissioner has access.
The chief executive must examine the report and identify, to the extent it is reasonably practicable to do so, offences involving the use of a weapon or violence against a person.
The chief executive may give the inspector information in the report about the offences identified under subsection (4).
