Part 5 of the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 enables the NSW Police Force, the NSW Crime Commission and the Police Integrity Commission to apply to a judge of the Supreme Court for search warrants that enable officers of those agencies to covertly enter and search premises for the purposes of investigating serious criminal offences. The Ombudsman is required to inspect the records of these agencies to determine whether or not the requirements of the Act as they relate to covert search warrants are being complied with. This report is for the period ending 28 May 2015.
