Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies to an application made to the CCC chairperson for authority to conduct a controlled operation if a person to be investigated by the CCC under the proposed controlled operation is or may be a police officer.

The chairperson may grant the authority without referring the application to the committee but, before granting the authority, the chairperson must consult with the independent member and obtain the independent member’s agreement to the proposed operation.

However, the chairperson may grant an authority on an urgent application made to the chairperson without complying with subsection (2), but must consult with the independent member about the controlled operation as soon as possible after granting the authority.

Sections 243 and 244(2) do not apply to an application under this section.
