Victoria Police was the only agency to exercise its controlled operations powers during the reporting period.
In the case of the VFA, updated procedures and templates were inspected – the results of which are included in this report.
For the other 3 agencies, we received confirmation that they had no ceased authorities or other controlled operations records during this period. We therefore did not conduct inspections of these agencies.
We inspected a total 65 controlled operations files at Victoria Police. These represent all authorised operations undertaken by Victoria Police that expired or were cancelled during the reporting period. While this report details some compliance errors and suggestions to Victoria Police in relation to these, we did not make any recommendations from our inspections during the period.
