Crimes (Controlled Operations) Act 2004

As soon as practicable, after 30 June and 31 December but no more than 2 months after each date in each year, the chief officer of each law enforcement agency must submit a report to Integrity Oversight Victoria in relation to the agency setting out the details required by subsection (2) in relation to authorised operations conducted on behalf of the agency during the previous 6 months.

The report must include the following details—

the number of formal authorities that have been granted or varied by the chief officer, and the number of formal applications for the granting or variation of authorities that have been refused by the chief officer, during the period to which the report relates; and

the number of urgent authorities or urgent variations of authorities that have been granted by the chief officer, and the number of urgent applications for authorities or urgent variations of authorities that have been refused by the chief officer, during the period to which the report relates; and

the nature of the criminal activities against which the authorised operations were directed; and

the nature of the controlled conduct engaged in for the purposes of the authorised operations; and

if any of the authorised operations involved illicit goods, a statement (to the extent known) of—

the nature and quantity of the illicit goods; and

the route through which the illicit goods passed in the course of the operations; and

details of any loss of or serious damage to property, or any personal injuries, occurring in the course of or as a direct result of the authorised operations; and

the number of authorities cancelled by the chief officer or that have expired during the period to which the report relates.

The details referred to in subsection (2) must be classified into cross-border controlled operations, local major controlled operations and local minor controlled operations.

Integrity Oversight Victoria may require the chief officer to furnish additional information covering any authorised operation to which a report relates.

Nothing in subsection (2)(d) or (e) requires particulars of an authorised operation to be included in a report for a period of 6 months if the operation had not been completed during that period, but the particulars must instead be included in the report for the period of 6 months in which the operation is completed.
