Police Powers (Surveillance Devices) Act 2006

The chief officer of a law enforcement agency must cause a register of warrants and emergency authorisations to be kept.

The register is to specify, for each warrant issued to a law enforcement officer of the agency – the date of issue of the warrant; and the name of the judge or magistrate who issued the warrant; and the name of the law enforcement officer named in the warrant as the person primarily responsible for executing it; and the relevant offence in relation to which the warrant was issued; and the period during which the warrant is in force; and details of any variation or extension of the warrant.

The register is to specify, for each emergency authorisation given to a law enforcement officer of the agency – the date on which the emergency authorisation was given; and the name of the senior officer who gave the emergency authorisation; and the name of the law enforcement officer to whom the emergency authorisation was given; and the relevant offence in relation to which the emergency authorisation was given; and the date on which the application for approval of powers exercised under the emergency authorisation was made.
