10E Powers exercisable in relation to interstate parolees

(1) This section applies to an interstate parolee—

(a) who holds an interstate travel permit that authorises the parolee to travel to New South Wales, and

(b) who is present in New South Wales.

(2) The local parole authority may issue a warrant for the parolee’s arrest—

(a) if advised by the relevant interstate registrar that the interstate travel permit is no longer in force in New South Wales, or

(b) if of the opinion that the parolee has failed to comply with the conditions of the interstate travel permit.

(3) A warrant under subsection (2) is sufficient authority for a local law enforcement officer—

(a) to arrest the parolee, and

(b) to convey the parolee to a place specified in the warrant (whether in New South Wales or in another State or a Territory), and

(c) to deliver the parolee into the custody of an interstate law enforcement officer of the State or Territory in which the interstate travel permit was issued.

(4) For the avoidance of doubt, such a warrant authorises a local law enforcement officer to convey the parolee within or across any other State or a Territory for the purpose of taking the parolee to a place specified in the warrant.

(5) In this section, local parole authority means the State Parole Authority.
