Police Administration Act 1978 65
(2) The register may form part of another register, whether kept under
this or another Act.
(3) The Commissioner:
(a) subject to subsection (4), may keep the register in the way the
Commissioner considers appropriate, including by keeping it
entirely or partly in electronic form; and
(b) must ensure the register is kept in a secure place.
(4) The register must be kept in a way that (to the greatest practicable
extent) enables a drug control officer, or a member performing a
lawful function associated with the keeping of dangerous drugs in
the possession of the Police Force under this Act (whether or not
under this Part), to comply with the requirements of this Act.
(5) An entry in the register may be made only by a drug control officer
or a person authorised by the Commissioner to make entries in the
register.
(6) If a senior member gives a direction under section 111 restricting
access to information in the register, a drug control officer or person
authorised by the Commissioner under subsection (5) must ensure
the information is recorded in a way that (to the greatest practicable
extent) stops disclosure of the information to a person not
authorised to have access to it.
