Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies if a person, other than a child, is found guilty by a court of an offence under subdivision 1 in relation to an event.

The court may, on its own initiative or an application by the commissioner, order the person to pay some or all of the commissioner’s reasonable costs in relation to the event.

An order made under subsection (2) is taken to be an order for compensation under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992, part 3, division 4, payable to the State.
