### sec.737 Register of dangerous drugs for training
The police service must keep a register of dangerous drugs for training.
The register may form part of another register whether kept under this or another Act.
The entity responsible for keeping the register under this section—
must ensure the register is kept in a secure place; and
subject to subsection (4) , may keep the register in the way the commissioner considers appropriate.
The register may be kept on a computer or partly on a computer and partly in the form of paper records.
The register of dangerous drugs for training must be kept in a way that, to the greatest practicable extent, enables a drug control officer, or a police officer performing a lawful function associated with the keeping of dangerous drugs in the possession of the police service under this Act, whether or not under this part, to comply with this Act’s requirements.
Unless the commissioner otherwise authorises, an entry in the register of dangerous drugs for training may only be made by a drug control officer who is authorised, under the conditions on which the drug control officer holds office, to make the entry.
If the commissioner gives a direction under this division restricting access to information included in the register of dangerous drugs for training, a drug control officer authorised to record the information in the register 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.
