Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument formally declares the New South Wales Police Force to be an "agency" under the Telecommunications (Interception) Act 1979, at the acting Premier's request and signed by the Attorney‑General, who records satisfaction as to required State law and an intergovernmental agreement.

Its practical effect is to bring NSW Police within the Act's interception regime (with attendant procedural and compliance obligations); it does not itself set operational powers, oversight detail or funding.
