Emails regarding this document can be addressed to [email protected] Other contact information can be found on the AFP website: www.afp.gov.au ii Dedication This work is dedicated to the men and women of the AFP, sworn and unsworn, who over the past three decades have taken the AFP from an idea to a reality. By their daily commitment to protect the nation and its citizens, AFP members serve communities, not only in Australia, but in trouble spots around the world making the AFP a unique arm of Australian law enforcement. iii About this Document While the AFP is still relatively young, it has grown almost continually since 1979. In that time it has had to deal with constantly changing trends in technology and corporate structure in order to keep pace with Government expectations and the business of fighting crime in Australia and overseas. This document captures the facts and figures of the AFP’s growth since 1979. The report recommending the creation of the AFP written by Sir Robert Mark in 1978 in the wake of the Sydney Hilton bombing laid out the foundations for the AFP’s creation. That report was tapped out on an electric typewriter and printed as a small booklet for the Australian Government to consider. The distribution of this booklet was limited to the interested few. Australian Federal Police: The First Thirty Years is available to view on the World Wide Web and was created using technology that was impossible to imagine in 1979. This publication is a summary of the AFP’s history drawn from annual reports, media releases and other corporate documents; it does not offer an interpretation of the AFP’s achievements, leaving the facts to speak for themselves. iv Contents i Title Page iii Dedication v Contents vii Foreword viii Past Commissioners 1 Chapter 1: The Woods Years, 1979–1982 11 Chapter 2: The Grey Years, 1983–1988 25 Chapter 3: The McAulay Years, 1988–1994 35 Chapter 4: The Palmer Years, 1994–2001 53 Chapter 5: The Keelty Years, 2001–2009 83 Chapter 6: Time Line of Events, 1979–2009 143 Chapter 7: Key Facts, 1979–2009 177 Chapter 8: Before the Australian Federal Police 183 Index 188 Questions – Comments – Feedback v Photographic Copyright Most of the photographs in this work are tagged with the identity of the copyright owner.

  • Abstract @On Ita (17 Dic
    RETE OPERATIVA @ON PER IL CONTRASTO AI GRUPPI CRIMINALI ORGANIZZATI MAFIA-STYLE ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT 1. PREMESSA La DIA sta sostenendo con sempre maggior impegno l’azione di contrasto internazionale alle mafie , non solo sul piano operativo, ma anche attraverso una più energica opera di sensibilizzazione degli omologhi stranieri finalizzata a dare nuova e rafforzata consapevolezza del fenomeno transnazionale della criminalità organizzata e di quella di tipo mafioso. In tale contesto, è stato ritenuto necessario perfezionare, nel corso del Semestre italiano di Presidenza del Consiglio Europeo, uno strumento che integrasse a livello operativo gli strumenti di cooperazione di polizia già esistenti. Al riguardo, il Consiglio GAI 1 in data 4 dicembre 2014, su iniziativa italiana ha approvato l’istituzione della Rete Operativa Antimafia @ON. 2. COS’È @ON La Rete @ON , in collaborazione con Europol, rende possibile l’impiego sul posto di investigatori specializzati 2 delle Forze di Polizia aderenti al Network, per il contrasto delle organizzazioni criminali “gravi” e mafia-style presenti nell’Unione Europea e non, favorendo lo scambio di buone prassi ed il necessario rapporto fiduciario. I gruppi criminali attenzionati sono principalmente italiani, di etnia albanese, euroasiatici, bande di motociclisti, ma anche quelli emergenti (mafie nigeriane, cinesi, turche, ecc.) che pongono un serio rischio per la sicurezza e l’economia dell’U.E. La Rete @ON ed il suo progetto di finanziamento europeo denominato ONNET , si basano su un network di Paesi e su un “Core Group” (Italia, Francia, Germania, Spagna, Belgio e Paesi Bassi ) che funge da cabina di regia per la selezione delle investigazioni da supportare.

  • The AFP Is Well Informed of the Criminal Practices and Illicit Trading Taking Place on the Dark Web
    The AFP is well informed of the criminal practices and illicit trading taking place on the dark web. We are working with our partners to combat all forms of technology-enabled crime. In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of seizures of all drug types via the mail system detected at the Australian border. High frequency-low volume importations such as ones through our mail system pose a considerable cumulative threat. These shipments contribute towards supplying the Australian market and exacerbate social problems within Australia associated with drug harm. Seizing these smaller importations can impact on disrupting the drug trade. The AFP and other Australian law enforcement agencies are well aware of this method of drug importation and are committed to targeting and combating it. The AFP works alongside its partner agencies on this matter, including Border Force and state and territory police. While it is not an offence to access websites that provide access to sellers of illegal substances, it is an offence to import or attempt to import a border controlled drug including synthetic drugs into Australia purchased from such a website. Offenders should be aware that if they seek to import illicit and synthetic drugs they will be subject of law enforcement scrutiny and investigation. Recently, a national co-ordinated policing campaign focused on detecting drugs being distributed via the Australian postal service saw a total of 62 illicit drugs or illegally obtained prescription medications seized by police. Operation Vitreus was co-ordinated by the National Methylamphetamine Strategy Group, which is currently lead by SA Police (SAPOL), but involved all State and Territory police agencies, working in conjunction with the Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force (ABF), the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and AUSTRAC.

  • Border Violence Prevention Council FACT SHEET
    Border Violence Prevention Council FACT SHEET Building on the principles of co-responsibility for and co-management of our shared border espoused in coordination mechanisms like the 21st Century Border Management Initiative and the High Level Economic Dialogue, the United States and Mexico created the Border Violence Prevention Council. The Council is co- led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Secretariat of Foreign Relations (SRE) of Mexico, and the Federal Police of Mexico, and includes the participation of other U.S. Department of Homeland Security components, the U.S. Department of State, and the Secretariat of Governance of Mexico. The Border Violence Prevention Council is a policy-level decision making body that promotes initiatives aimed at preventing incidents of border violence through collaborative efforts, joint public engagement campaigns, increased transparency and information exchange, and the sharing of best practices. The Council has met four times, most recently on November 3, 2016, where we noted significant past accomplishments, including: Undertaking actions to increase the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s and CBP’s accountability, transparency, and notification regarding use of force cases. Increasing the understanding of use of force policies and officer training efforts in both countries, which included policy and technical discussions, exchanges of information and visits to each other’s enforcement training centers. Exchanging information on changes to relevant policies and procedures. Conducting joint community outreach and engagement initiatives between the 12 Consulates of Mexico located at the border, Mexico´s Federal Police, U.S. Customs and Border Protection including its component, the U.S.
