Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003

It is a function of the Commission (the prevention and education function) to help to prevent police misconduct.

Without limiting the ways the Commission may perform the prevention and education function, the Commission performs that function by doing the following —

analysing the information it gathers in performing functions under this Act and any other Act, including the intelligence gathered in support of its police misconduct and organised crime functions;

analysing systems used within the Police Department to prevent police misconduct;

using information it gathers from any source in support of the prevention and education function;

providing information to, consulting with, and making recommendations to, the Police Department;

providing information relevant to the prevention and education function to members of the police service and to the general community;

ensuring that in performing all of its functions it has regard to the prevention and education function;

generally increasing the capacity of the Police Department to prevent and combat police misconduct by providing advice and training to the Police Department;

reporting on ways to prevent and combat police misconduct.

In performing the prevention and education function, the Commission may consult, cooperate, and exchange information, with the Public Sector Commissioner.
