BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. POLICE AMENDMENT (POLICE PROMOTIONS) BILL 2013 Second Reading Mr GEOFF PROVEST (Tweed—Parliamentary Secretary) [10.10 a.m.], on behalf of Mr Greg Smith: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Police Amendment (Police Promotions) Bill 2013 implements the recommendations of a review into the police promotions system, as established by the Police Act 1990, and the Police Regulation 2008. The bill proposes to reform the police promotions system to improve the ability of the NSW Police Force to fill promotional positions while protecting the integrity of the system. It aims to maintain corruption resistance. Amid a regime of corruption alleged over many years, a ministerial inquiry was conducted into the police promotions system. This led to the current rank-oriented process being implemented in 2006, with the first appointments made in 2008. The scheme covers promotion to sergeant, senior sergeant, inspector and superintendent. Officers are selected for, and appointed from, promotion lists for each rank. Officers must pass a number of assessments to obtain an eligibility mark, which determines their place on the promotion list. Applicants are graded on their on-the-job performance, technical policing knowledge, examination, learning, and assessment components. Officers must also meet other specifications, such as time spent at rank, and pass an integrity clearance. A review of the police promotions system was conducted by the Hon. Lance Wright, QC, former President of the Industrial Relations Commission. The review made a number of recommendations regarding specialist and leadership positions including superintendents and senior sergeants. The New South Wales public sector as a whole is focusing on improving leadership and strengthening its leadership levels. It is timely for the NSW Police Force to bolster its leadership ranks with improved ability to get the right people into the right jobs. A key concept of the current promotions system is that it is the same for all ranks, including superintendents. However, the NSW Police Force does not believe the present system delivers candidates who can perform in any position at the rank of superintendent. There are few superintendent positions in the NSW Police Force—only about 130—and that reflects the seniority of those positions. Superintendents head up commands including local area commands. Some superintendent positions require unique skills, knowledge and experience. Some commands may have unique challenges such as counterterrorism. They are our key front-line leaders who manage
