Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

As soon as practicable after the end of each financial year, but no later than 30 September, the commissioner must prepare and give to the Minister a report about the use by police officers of powers under section 21B during the financial year.

The report must include—

for each reportable offender in relation to whom an inspection was carried out—the number of inspections carried out for the reportable offender; and

for each inspection—

whether it was carried out in the circumstances mentioned in section 21B(1)(a), (b) or (c); and

the date and time it was carried out; and

the action taken in relation to the reportable offender as a result of the inspection.

For subsection (2)(a), each occasion on which a police officer inspects 1 or more digital devices counts as 1 inspection.

The report must not include any information identifying, or that is likely to lead to the identification of, a reportable offender.

Within 14 sitting days after receiving the report, the Minister must table a copy of the report in the Legislative Assembly.
