Like all other states of Australia, municipalities and shires in NSW have only very limited law enforcement responsibilities. The police perform the primary law enforcement role in all areas of the state. History 1788 – Australia's first police force. Water police on The New South Wales Police Force has existed in various forms since the foundation of the colony of New South Wales at Sydney in 1788. In order to protect the infant town against thieves and petty criminals after dark, Governor authorised the formation of a nightwatch in August 1789, consisting of eight of the best-behaved convicts.

After his appointment as the new governor of New South Wales, Governor restructured the police force in January 1811, setting up a basic system of ranks and control and recruiting free men into the force instead of convicts. Police units were under the rule of the district magistrates. 1825 - NSW Mounted Police After the conflict in 1824 with the people around and, British authorities recognised the need for a mounted force to maintain control in frontier areas. As a result, the NSW Mounted Police was formed in the following year. Up until 1850, this force operated as de facto cavalry unit as the troopers were soldiers requisitioned from the. Their main task in this period was to subjugate resisting groups of Aboriginals and capture bushrangers. From 1850 the Mounted Police took on a more civilian role.

In 2009, it had 34 horses and was claimed to be the oldest mounted police unit in the world. Another specialist group formed during this time were the Water Police (formed in 1832). 1839 - Border Police By this stage, the NSW government could not afford the cost of maintaining the Mounted Police along the expanding frontiers of the colony. A new frontier police consisting of mounted convict troopers, called the, was therefore established. The convicts assigned were mostly soldiers who had run foul of the law.

The Border Police was funded by a levy placed on the squatters who had brought livestock into the areas beyond the borders of settlement. In addition to controlling the Aboriginal and bushranger threats, the Border Police were also tasked with resolving land disputes with the squatters. 1848 - Native Police With the end of convict transportation approaching, the Border Police was dissolved and replaced with another low cost frontier force called the. This force consisted of Aboriginal troopers under the command of British officers.

Exploiting inter-tribal hostility, the duty of this force was mostly to crush any Aboriginal resistance to the spread of British settlement. From 1859, the responsibility of the Native Police passed from the NSW government to the newly formed Queensland government. Police Regulation Act, 1862 As the colony expanded, a more sophisticated form of crime management was called for; this involved unifying all the police units into a single cohesive police force with the centralisation of authority. After a failed attempt made by Act No.

38 of 1850, unified control of the police eventuated in 1862 when the Police Regulation Act (1862) was passed, establishing the New South Wales Police Force. The first inspector general of police, was appointed to assume overall authority and responsibility. The Police Regulation (Amendment) Act, passed in 1935, changed the official title to commissioner of police, with its role clearly defined.

The position of deputy commissioner was also created. By 1872, there were seventy police stations throughout the colony in sub-districts, with a total of 803 police officers. In 1915, the first female police officers were appointed.

In 1961, the year before the centenary of the Police Force, the number of members of the force increased to 5717, which rose to a total strength of 15,354 in November 2008. Bushrangers After the formation of the New South Wales Police Force in 1862, most crimes were conducted by, particularly during the years. Almost single-handedly fought off the gang when they attacked a gold escort at Major's Creek on 13 March 1865. Constable O'Grady was taken ill with cholera when, on 9 April 1866, he left his sick-bed to confront the Clarke gang, who were renowned as being the 'bloodiest bushrangers' of the colony of NSW and of Australia. Constable Walker was one of the earliest Australian-born mounted to gain fame.

He brought 's enduring 'bushranging' career to an end by shooting him near Uralla in, NSW. Constable Ernest Charles Day (later the ) showed courage under fire when he shot and captured bushranger Hobson, who was later hanged.

Day later investigated a string of murders involving a, Tommy Moore, by tracing his activities to South Australia, solving one of Australia's earliest serial-killer cases. Arming In 1894 a number of unarmed police were seriously injured while attempting to arrest a group of offenders as they attempted to break open a safe in the Union Steamship Company Office in Bridge Street, Sydney. The incident received wide publicity and was known as 'Bridge Street Affray'. Within 24 hours the premier announced that all police would wear firearms at all times while on duty to prevent the escape of felons and to place them on an equal footing with armed criminals.

Previously only police in rural districts had been permitted to carry firearms. Parliament subsequently passed legislation authorising the arming of all members of the NSW Police Force and all Police have carried firearms ever since. Notable events NSW police officers have been involved in many notable events in the state's history, including, the, the arrest of serial killer, the, the and the. They were responsible for the security of the and. Lusher Commission of Inquiry In 1979, the NSW government of called on, a judge of the to chair a commission of inquiry into police administration.

Police Service Act, 1990 The (NSW) was introduced to replace the Police Regulation Act. The Police Force was consequently renamed to the 'New South Wales Police Service', which reflected 'community-based policing at the time' of the and the public's responsibility in crime control, aided by the police. In accordance with the Police Service Amendment (NSW Police) Bill in 2002, the New South Wales Police Service was then renamed again to simply New South Wales Police.

The then Minister for Police, explains: 'NSW Police' is the name on which everybody signed off and it is the name with which we were to come to the Parliament. I do not believe we need the word 'service' in the name of the police force. I do not accept the argument that we need the word 'service' in a community-based policing approach. In 2006, the Police Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill resulted in a name change for the third time, renaming the New South Wales Police to New South Wales Police Force. Amalgamation of special security units, 1991 In June 1991, the (SPG) was formed, incorporating the former Special Weapons & Operations Section (SWOS), the Witness Security Unit, regional Tactical Response Groups and the Rescue Squad. The Security Management Branch and the Bomb Disposal Unit were later included in the group.

Volunteering and NSW Police After much debate, the NSW Parliament passed the (NSW), which sought to trial voluntary service within the police force, along the lines of the United Kingdom's. The trial was not successful and lapsed with the automatic repeal of the Act in 1994. The successor to this scheme was the Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program which restricts volunteer participation to non-core administration and community tasks, without enforcement duties or other powers being granted.

Main article: In 2003, Strike Force Emblems was established in response to allegations that warrants were improperly obtained during Operation Mascot, an investigation into police corruption in the late 1990s. The warrants authorised a large number of people, mostly police officers, to have their private conversations ‘bugged’.

Nearly a decade later in October 2012, the New South Wales Government announced that the Ombudsman would investigate allegations concerning the conduct of officers in the NSW Police Force, the Crime Commission and the in relation to the matters investigated in Strike Force Emblems which occurred between 1998 and 2002.

Founded in September 1825 by state governor, the mounted police were recruited from a British military regiment stationed in NSW at the time, to protect travellers, suppress convict escapees and. For more than a century they were a key part of policing, since horses were the main form of transport.

The NSW Mounted Police Unit is the oldest continuous mounted group in the world. The unit was formed three years before the and 38 years before the 1873 formation of the. Duties include traffic and crowd management, patrols, and ceremonial protocol duties. The 34 horses used today are bay geldings (with the exception of two mares), 15.3 hands high or more, and include a number of former racehorses. Local area commands / Police Area Commands Some Local area commands(LACs) have been merged to new Police area Commands(PACs). These are listed by cad prefix/vehicle bonnet codes.

Former Wagga Wagga Local Area Commander, Superintendent Frank Goodyer The New South Wales Police Force is run as a community policing model. All sworn members start at the lowest rank of probationary constable / constable and may work their way up. Promotion beyond senior constable is highly competitive. The following ranks are listed lowest to highest from left as set out in 2002: Constable and non-commissioned ranks Rank Probationary Constable Senior constable Incremental senior constable Leading senior constable Incremental sergeant Senior sergeant Insignia Commissioned ranks Rank Chief inspector Chief superintendent Assistant commissioner Deputy commissioner Commissioner Insignia Constables All grades of constable perform the same basic range of duties, with the rank only reflecting experience. The rank of probationary constable is held for the first twelve months of service. Following 12 months of satisfactory service and on completion of the associate degree of policing practice via distance education, the probationary constable is confirmed to the rank of constable.

Within the force, probationary constables are often referred to as 'probies'. Promotion to the rank of senior constable can be obtained after five years service and requires the officer to pass an examination which can cover a broad area of policing knowledge. Incremental senior constable is obtained after ten years of service. Senior constables of all grades are referred to as either 'senior constable' or 'senior'. Non-commissioned officers Promotion to the rank of sergeant and beyond is achieved by way of a 'merit based' promotion system, whereby officers undertake a series of 'pre-qualification assessments' and are placed on a ranked list before gaining promotion. Officers who qualify for a promotion list are given an eligibility mark and are ranked according to order of merit from the highest mark to the lowest.

This means that the highest-ranked member on the promotions list will be considered first for the rank and position concerned. Members seeking placement on a promotion list must have spent the requisite time at the rank below, which is at least two years, and must have successfully completed the relevant pre-qualifying assessment examinations, an applicant evaluation and must meet the eligibility program. A new promotion list for each rank or grade is prepared each year, and an applicant who does not accept promotion can remain on a list only for three years before having to requalify for the list. On promotion to sergeant and senior sergeant, members are issued a warrant of appointment under the commissioner's hand and seal. A sergeant normally supervises a team of constables during a shift. A detective sergeant is normally in charge of a team in a specific part of either a local area command detectives office or a specialist squad in the State Crime Command. Senior sergeants are generally attached to 'regions' as region training coordinators, region traffic coordinators, region operations coordinator positions or in legal services, professional standards, protocol, education services and perform middle-management duties.

Sergeants and incremental sergeants are referred to as 'sergeant'; senior sergeants are referred to as 'senior sergeant'. Commissioned officers On completing at least three years as a sergeant (but usually more), and the relevant pre-qualification assessments, an officer may be elevated to the rank of 'inspector' and issued a certificate of commission under the commissioner's hand and seal. Commissioned officers may be acknowledged by the rank they hold or more commonly as 'sir', 'ma'am' or 'boss'. An inspector oversees sergeants and teams of constables and traditionally performs more administrative work, coordination of policing operations or specialist work. At local area commands, an inspector is allocated to each shift as a 'duty officer' and oversees the general running of the police station. Superintendents are usually 'commanders' of local area commands or specialist units.

Assistant commissioners are generally 'commanders' of regions or corporate portfolios. As of 2010, the rank of senior assistant commissioner has been dispensed with.

Officers currently holding this rank will retain it until retiring or upon promotion to a higher rank. Designations If a New South Wales Police Force officer elects to undertake criminal investigation duties, after a period of exams and assignments, and given experience in a criminal investigation office that officer is given the designation of 'detective'. As it is a designation and not a rank, the designation comes prior to the rank, i.e. Detective constable, or detective senior constable etc. Returning to general duties (uniform) is common for detectives, and many detectives do seek promotion in the general duties arena.

However, while they do not lose their detective's designation if they leave full-time investigation duties, it is customary not to use their designation while performing general or other duties which are not an authorised investigative position. On returning to an authorised position they can use their designation again without having to requalify. There has been some consideration given by the police force in recent years to identify designated detectives performing uniform duties by way of a distinctive badge or uniform embellishment, but this has not been adopted. Uniform and equipment Field and service dress New South Wales Police Force has two uniforms for general duties police officers, one operational (field dress) and one ceremonial (service dress).

Field dress consists of navy blue cargo pants with map pockets, ballooned at the bottom, light blue marle short or long sleeve shirt, navy blue baseball cap with blue and white, and black general purpose boots. During winter a navy blue polartec-fleece jacket or leather jacket is worn. Ranks are worn on the shoulders by both NCOs and commissioned ranks. Service dress consists of general purpose boots, straight leg navy blue trousers, blue marle shirt, antron cap/hat and leather duty jacket. Depending on rank, members may be issued with high-shine polishable lace-up leather boots for ceremonial occasions, similar to that worn by military personnel. Officers wear a similar uniform when attending court proceedings, this is usually the full service dress both during summer and winter.

During ceremonial occasions, NSW Police Force College staff, New South Wales Police Force protocol and NSW Police Force field protocol officers generally wear a navy blue ceremonial tunic during official occasions such as attestation parades (passing out parades), medal ceremonies and funerals etc. Field protocol officers are issued with a light blue/navy blue lanyard to be worn over the right shoulder and tucked into the right pocket during ceremonial occasions. Full-time protocol officers and members of the cyclists are entitled to wear a black basketweave Sam Browne belt during ceremonial occasions. In line with the name change of the organisation back to 'NSW Police Force', the current shoulder patch for uniform reads New South Wales Police Force, and has a redesigned and recoloured eagle.

Specialist groups and special events New South Wales Police Force officers are also entitled to wear mess dress with mess kit for black tie or formal dinners/dances. The dark navy blue trousers and mess jacket with cobalt blue cuffs, epaulettes (with ranks) and lapels clearly identify them as being members of the police. Specialist units such as the, Air Wing, Marine Area Command and the Tactical Operations Unit all have different uniform needs and are outfitted accordingly such as with their white overalls, (TOU) with black and Dog Squad with subdued blue.

Detectives wear plain clothes. During marches and United Nations Day marches in Sydney, police officers can be seen alongside their Australian Federal Police counterparts wearing the distinctive United Nations blue beret and full sized medals, if they have served with the Australian Federal Police in United Nations sanctioned peacekeeping operations. Arms and appointments Firearms Members of the NSW Police are issued with the semi-automatic pistol. After the work of Task Force ALPHA 1992 and the research testing and report done by senior constable Darren Stewart recommending the introduction of the Glock 22 superseding the Smith & Wesson.38 calbre model 10 with some specialist sections and plain clothes officers having either the smaller or models available in lieu of the standard model. Members are also issued with a spare magazine for their pistol due to the murder of two officers at Crescent Head in 1995 when officers carried the in. Specialist tactical units such as the full-time (and part-time regional ) are equipped with a variety of specialised firearms for their duties. Equipment and holsters In addition to the standard issue firearm, officers are issued with Saflock (mark IV & V) handcuffs, (capsicum spray), Motorola XTS3000/XTS5000/XTS2500 (Digital UHF) or Tait Orca (VHF) portable radio, and a first-aid kit.

Members have access to a fixed and Maglite rechargeable torch, which are usually located in all first response police vehicles for each officer 'on the car'. There is also access to high ballistic rated overt in every vehicle as required. Specialist tactical officers from elite units such as the and riot officers from the have access to a variety of specialised weapons and equipment. The NSW Police Force has issued TASER electronic control devices (ECDs) which generally are carried by one officer on every first response general duties vehicle.

TASER is also issued to some specialist squads (e.g., and ). Each TASER X26 issued to police includes an integrated camera to record all deployments of the device as well as any additional video while the device's safety is switched off.

The grip used by police may result in no video footage being available; however, audio footage is still 'loud and clear'. This is due, for safety reasons, to the grip being the same as that used to hold the glock pistol.

The majority of officers carry their equipment on a leather duty appointment belt. In recent times, there has been a large movement within the police to implement changes in methods of equipment carry to relieve officers with back injuries.

This has ranged from trials of lightweight nylon duty belts (such as the shapeshifter 'gel belt'), to thigh holsters for firearms and load bearing equipment vests. As of 2010, the load-bearing vest has become increasingly prevalent amongst general duty officers and it is anticipated that this trend will continue. It is believed that the vests are effective in relieving officers of chronic back pain, as it takes most of the weight away from the waist and back area, and distributes it across the frontal area of the officer's torso. In 2017, a new load-bearing vest was introduced the Integrated Light Armour Vest (ILAV) that is level 2 ballistic rated and level 2 rated which can be worn without armour and has the option of a hydration pack and a backpack. Also in 2017, a new covert vest was introduced the Covert Light Armour Vest (CLAV). Name plates and identification Each police officer is issued an identification metal badge with a.

Behind the police badge, a member has a coloured plastic backing card which helps identify a member's rank in the force, namely: light blue – constable & senior constable dark blue – sergeant & senior sergeant red – inspector & chief inspector green – superintendent & chief superintendent white – assistant commissioner, deputy commissioner & commissioner This colour-coding also occurs on a member's name plate. For administrative officers of all grades and Special Constables, their name plates are gold. Volunteers in Policing wear black nameplates. Civilian staff are not issued with badges; however, Special Constables and civilian forensic staff are issued with warrant cards. Everyone else such as is issued an Identification Certificate. Vehicles NSW Police Force has the largest government fleet in Australia, with more than 4000 vehicles, on a lease basis. Most LAC response vehicles include but are not limited to (may vary due to location) Toyota Camry, and.

Toyota's Hilux, Ford Ranger, Holden Rodeo, Hyundai iLoad and VW Transporter are all used as caged vehicles. Specialist vehicles include the, and for rural and remote areas. Highway Patrol vehicles usually consist of a combination of marked and unmarked Holden SS and Ford Falcon XR6 Turbos, as well as BMW or Yamaha road motorcycles and trail bikes for off-road duty. Other specialist sections and units use a variety of police vehicles including Toyota Hi-Ace buses, Iveco prisoner vans, Mercedes Sprinter vans, Isuzu trucks, specialist rescue and bomb disposal vehicles, two armoured trucks and various Suzuki Jimmy Beach Buggies.

Education NSW Police Academy, Goulburn. The New South Wales Police Force Academy at Goulburn The (formerly known as the New South Wales Police College) occupies some 10 hectares at McDermott Drive in the regional town of Goulburn, southwest of Sydney.

The primary function is to educate and train police officers from the newly recruited to the senior executive level. Located in the Memorial & Honour Precincts, the Academy has a number of memorials dedicated to the proud traditions of the New South Wales Police Force, namely the Walls of Remembrance at the College Chapel (which feature those who have died on duty on the northern side, and those who have served in war and peacekeeping operations on the southern side); the Rose Garden and Eternal Flame; the NSW Police Force Horse & Dog Memorial; and Heroes' Walk (featuring 15 bravery banners including George Cross, Cross of Valour, Star of Courage and George Medal police recipients). The latest aspect to the 'proud traditions project' was the installation of the NSW Police Academy Peacekeeping display.

During the invasion and preceding it the Australian police were subject to machine gun and mortar fire and Turkish air attack. Some of their personal motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal items at that time were destroyed, lost or stolen. Fortunately, there was no loss of Australian lives at that time.

ASPIRING police officers in NSW have been left in the lurch after the O'Farrell Coalition government scrapped one-third of the annual intake in the university program for police trainees. The cancellation of next month's enrolment in the associate degree in policing practice at Charles Sturt University, in Goulburn, has left about 300 applicants in limbo, with some claiming they had been given misleading information and their lives had been put 'on hold' by NSW police. 'I'm thinking of going to Queensland, which is a lot more merit-based,' one applicant said yesterday. He had been accepted into the 'eligibility pool' for the program, and hoped to commence his studies next month. 'At least there they allow you to say why you want to be in the course, rather than just get involved in a lucky dip.'

The Charles Sturt course is taught in partnership with the NSW Police Academy, which is also in Goulburn. The trainee said recruitment staff at NSW police had reassured him as recently as last week that next month's enrolment would go ahead. 'If they're going to cancel it, why not send an email to everyone, saying, 'This intake's been cancelled, so plan your life accordingly'?' 'If we were informed that was the case, I could have made plans weeks ago.

The communication could have been a lot better.' NSW police education and training commander Michael Corboy confirmed to The Australian yesterday there would be no enrolment at Goulburn next month, apart from distance education students. He said intake depended on the future needs of NSW police, which had recently experienced increased retention rates. 'The police force regularly projects how many new students it will require for each intake.

We constantly remind prospective students there is no guarantee of placement at the academy until they receive a letter of offer.' Opposition police spokesman Nathan Rees said the delayed intake contradicted the government's line that budget cuts would not compromise frontline services. 'Delaying training of a new group of officers will mean additional work for existing police and more police jobs left vacant,' he said. 'The government should outline its intentions to each of these trainees in order that they can minimise the impact on their families.

'Delaying training by four months means delaying paying new officers - it's a cost-saving measure, and the people of NSW will be the losers.' A NSW police spokesman said the force 'closely monitors attrition rates, and is committed to meeting its authorised strength target but not exceeding its budget'. NSW Police Minister Mike Gallacher has pushed through parliament reforms to the police death and disability scheme intended to cut the number of injured police quitting the force with lump-sum payouts.
