31Annual report by relevant oversight body

31 Annual report by relevant oversight body (1) The relevant oversight body must, as soon as practicable after 30 June in each year: (a) prepare a report for each law enforcement agency that reported to that relevant oversight body under section 30 of the work and activities of the agency under this Part for the preceding 12 months; and (b) give a copy of each report to the Minister and to the chief officer of the law enforcement agency to which the report relates. (2) The report must include comments on the comprehensiveness and adequacy of the reports which were provided to the relevant oversight body by the chief officer of the law enforcement agency under section 30. (3) The report must not disclose any information that identifies, or is likely to lead to the identification of, any suspect or a participant in an authorised operation. (4) If an authorised operation has not been completed at the end of a reporting period, particulars of the operation need not be included in the report for that period, but must be included in the report for the period in which the operation concludes. (5) The chief officer of a law enforcement agency must advise the Minister of any information in the report relating to the agency that, in the chief officer's opinion, should be excluded from the report before the report is tabled in the Legislative Assembly because the information, if made public, could reasonably be expected to: (a) endanger a person's safety; or (b) prejudice an investigation or prosecution; or (c) compromise any law enforcement agency's operational activities or methodologies.

Police (Special Investigative and Other Powers) Act 2015 26 (6) The Minister must: (a) exclude information from the report if satisfied on the advice of the chief officer of any of the grounds mentioned in subsection (5); and (b) table the report in the Legislative Assembly within 15 sitting days after the Minister receives it.
