Commonwealth of Australia
. The AFP is an independent agency of the
Attorney-General's Department
and is responsible to the
Attorney-General
and accountable to the
Parliament of Australia
.
[2]
As of October 2019
[update]
the
Commissioner
of the Australian Federal Police is
Reece Kershaw
, formerly the

.
History
[
edit
]
The Australian Federal Police was formed on 19 October 1979 under the
Australian Federal Police Act 1979
[5]
after the merging of the former
Commonwealth Police
and the
Australian Capital Territory Police
. This followed a review of Australia's anti-terrorism capacity by Sir
Robert Mark
, former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in the UK, which was commissioned by the
Fraser government
following the
1978 Hilton bombing
. In November 1979, the Federal Narcotics Bureau was transferred to the new agency.
[6]
In 1984 the protective service component of the AFP was separated forming the
Australian Protective Service
under the administrative service and later governed by Attorney-General's Department; that agency was transferred back to the AFP in 2004 and is now known as Australian Federal Police Specialist Protective Command or as "Uniform Protection" internally.
Oversight
[
edit
]
The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement, a joint committee of members of the
Australian House
and
Senate
, has responsibility for oversight of the AFP and the
Australian Crime Commission
.
[7]
Separately, the
National Anti-Corruption Commission
(NACC) is charged with investigating systemic corruption in the AFP and other commonwealth agencies.
[8]
Roles and functions
[
edit
]
The AFP's role is to enforce
Australian criminal law
, contribute to combating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime impacting Australia's national security and to protect Commonwealth interests from criminal activity in Australia and overseas.
The AFP is responsible to The Attorney-General's Department. Key priorities of the AFP are set by the Attorney-General, through a "ministerial direction" issued under the Australian Federal Police Act 1979.
[9]
Areas of operational emphasis include:
- investigating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime
- protecting Australians and Australian interests from terrorism and violent extremism
- representing Australian police and law enforcement on an international level
- developing unique capabilities and exploiting advanced technology to support Australia's national interests.
Continued responsibilities include providing:
National operations
[
edit
]
Federal agents are based in each Australian state and territory, internationally and form the largest component of the AFP staff, federal agents chiefly perform criminal investigative duties.
Current areas of focus for the AFP:
The AFP hosts a National Missing Persons Coordination Unit and the Australian
Interpol
National Central Bureau.
In Australian Capital Territory and other territories
[
edit
]
In addition to its federal role, the AFP provides policing services to the Australian Capital Territory and the
external territories
, including
Christmas Island
,
Cocos (Keeling) Islands
,
Norfolk Island
, and
Jervis Bay Territory
.
[10]
Specialist Protective Command
[
edit
]
The AFP Specialist Protective Command provides physical protection for the Australian government at key locations throughout Australia and internationally. Uniform protection officers (identified as Protective Service Officers or PSOs) are firearms and defensive tactics trained, and perform duties which include armed escorts, bomb appraisals, bomb detection canines, visitor control, static guarding, alarm monitoring and response, mobile, foot and bicycle patrols, maintain civil order, security consultancy services, counter-terrorism first response at many Commonwealth establishments. Protective Service Officers have powers under Section 14 of the AFP Act 1979 to stop, request identification, search and arrest within their jurisdiction. Uniform protection officers undertake an essential role in protecting Australia's critical infrastructure and assist in providing protection for Australian high office holders, diplomatic, consular personnel and other foreign nationals.
Specialist Protective Command officers providing an armed uniform capability are located at federal establishments including
Parliament House in Canberra
; the residences of the prime minister and governor-general; foreign embassies and consulates in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth; the
Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
, joint defence facilities such as the Australian Defence Force Headquarters in Canberra, Holsworthy Barracks,
Garden Island Naval Base
, Victoria Barracks, the Pine Gap US defence installation, and sensitive covert locations in Australia and internationally.
Aviation Uniform Police (AUP) are the primary law enforcement agency responsible for aviation security at the nine major Australian airports; Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Cairns, Gold Coast and Perth.
[11]
On 6 December 2019 the
AFP announced
that the Protective Operations Response Team (PORT) members located at the nine designated Australian airports will carry the Daniel Defense Mk.18 Short Barreled Rifle.
[12]
The increase in AFP aviation protection capability was part of the
Aviation Security Enhancement Program
(ASEP), the short barreled firearms specifically for the purpose of delivering a Counter Terrorist First Response (CTFR) role.
[13]
International peacekeeping
[
edit
]
Since its inception, the AFP has had a long tradition of involvement in international
peacekeeping
, policing and capacity development. International Deployment Group (IDG) is an AFP portfolio that has increased rapidly in a short time since its inception in 2004. Since 1964, Australia has contributed police officers to the
United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus
. AFP officers have also previously served with the United Nations in
East Timor
(Timor-Leste) and
South Sudan
.
In recent years, Australian government efforts to assist neighbouring and remote countries with institutional capacity building has led to AFP deployments to
Papua New Guinea
, the
Solomon Islands
(Under the
Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands
), Timor-Leste (Under the
Timor-Leste Police Development Program TLPDP
),
Nauru
,
Tonga
,
Vanuatu
,
Afghanistan
,
Samoa
and
Vanuatu
. Previous peacekeeping missions have included
Haiti
,
Mozambique
,
Thailand
,
Namibia
, and
Somalia
.
IDG uses the
Specialist Response Group
for particular medium and high risk planned operations or emergency incidents in addition to assisting with capacity building and force protection operations.
Ceremonial and protocol
[
edit
]
The AFP Ceremonial and Protocol Team conducts and participates in a variety of police and community functions and ceremonies.
Ceremonial events include the annual National Police Remembrance Day Service at the National Police Memorial in Canberra on 29 September, medal presentations, parades, police funerals, memorial services, official opening of police stations and policing facilities, AFP pipes and drums concerts, inauguration events and public relations events. The Ceremonial Team coordinates the AFP Ceremonial and Protocol Officer (CAPO) Network and the AFP Pipes and Drums to perform ceremonial duties at these functions and ceremonies.
Formerly the Ceremonial team also included the AFP Ceremonial Mounted Cadre. The AFP Ceremonial Mounted Cadre was raised on 29 September 2006 at the dedication of the National Police Memorial. The ceremonial uniform comprises linkages to former mounted policing units of the AFP's predecessor organisations, namely the Commonwealth Police and the Peace Officer guard, as well as mounted policing units from the NSW Police Force which patrolled the geographic area of the ACT. The Mounted Cadre was disbanded shortly after their final appearance at the opening of the AFP's new Headquarters in Barton on 7 April 2011.
[14]
The AFP Ceremonial and Protocol team currently provide drill instructor accreditation for both the AFP and the
NSW Police Force
, and ceremonial and protocol officer accreditation for all of Australia's policing jurisdictions.
International liaison
[
edit
]
The AFP has an international network to assist with inquiries and liaison with police agencies around the world. The AFP represents Australian state/territory police agencies internationally. AFP's International Liaison Officer Network has 85 AFP appointees in 30 countries around the world. AFP International Liaison Officers are the Australian Government's law enforcement representatives overseas.
[15]
Structure
[
edit
]
Joint Counter-Terrorism Teams
[
edit
]
The Joint Counter Terrorism Teams (JCTTs) in each state and territory jurisdiction consist of AFP, state and territory police, and
Australian Security Intelligence Organisation
officers. JCTTs conduct investigations to prevent and disrupt terrorism and
violent extremism
. The JCTT model can be seen as the Australian version of the
United States
'
Joint Terrorism Task Force
,
Canada
's
Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams
and the
United Kingdom
's
National Counter Terrorism Policing Network
.
[16]
The National Disruption Group (NDG) is an AFP-led interagency team which consolidates the capabilities of participating agencies to prevent, disrupt and prosecute Australian nationals who travel or intend to travel offshore to engage in hostilities and/or undertake terrorism training and support to terrorist entities. The NDG brings together the AFP and its partner agencies to coordinate operational disruption activities nationally and internationally with the aim of countering the enduring threat posed by foreign fighters.

Criticism
[
edit
]
Haneef affair
[
edit
]
On 2 July 2007,
Muhamed Haneef
was arrested and held by the AFP and Border officers for terror-related incidents, as he was leaving the country. It was the longest detention without charge under recent anti-terror laws and was found to be unjustified. He received an apology and compensation after this.
[23]
Martens conviction
[
edit
]
In October 2006 a
Cairns
jury convicted pilot
Frederic Arthur Martens
under sex tourism laws of having intercourse with a 14-year-old girl in
Port Moresby
,
Papua New Guinea
. However, Martens was not in Port Moresby at the time, and flight records could prove this. The AFP refused to retrieve those records despite numerous requests, and Martins could not retrieve them as he was in jail. When the records were eventually retrieved by Martens' partner the convictions were quashed, with strong criticism of the AFP by Justice Chesterman. The AFP also froze all of Marten's funds while he was in custody, which prevented treatment for his daughter in Port Moresby, who died as a result.
[24]
Bali Nine
[
edit
]
The AFP were contacted by a member of the
Bali Nine
drug courier gang's father, and they said they would keep a watch on him. They could not stop them travelling to Indonesia to smuggle drugs. Instead, they contacted the Indonesian police which led to their arrest in Indonesia rather than when returning to Australia. The leaders of the gang,
Andrew Chan
and
Myuran Sukumaran
, were executed on 29 April 2015.
[25]
The others are still serving prison sentences.
Harun Causevic
[
edit
]
Over 200 heavily armed police conducted raids at 3:00 am at various houses in Victoria on 19 April 2015, and then held Harun Causevic on a Preventative Detention Order (PDO), before charging him with terrorist offences.
[26]
Victorian premier Daniel Andrews said this was the first time a PDO had been used, and validated their importance.
[27]
However, after Causevic spent three months in jail awaiting trial the federal police decided to drop the terrorism charges.
[28]
Causevic's defence lawyer, Rob Stary, said there was never any real evidence against Causevic, and that this eroded confidence in the authorities. He was also critical of the earlier "grandstanding" of Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Daniel Andrews.
[29]
Raids on media
[
edit
]
On 4 June 2019 the AFP conducted a raid on the home of
News Corp
journalist
Annika Smethurst
, looking for information connected to a story she had written a few years earlier about new laws that would give the security forces new powers for surveillance over Australian citizens.
[30]
Radio host
Ben Fordham
also claimed that he was under investigation for some of his reporting.
[31]
The next day the police raided the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
(ABC) over a story about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
[32]
The search warrant allowed the police to "add, copy, delete or alter" any files they found on the computers.
[33]
The incidents caused an outcry of condemnation from international media outlets, including the
British Broadcasting Corporation
(BBC) and
The New York Times
.
[34]
However, Prime Minister
Scott Morrison
said that "it never troubles me that our laws are being upheld".
[30]
The AFP have not ruled out the possibility that reporters may also be charged in relation to the alleged offences being investigated.
[35]
On 15 April 2020, the
High Court of Australia
ruled that the warrant used in the Smethurst raid was invalid.
[36]
Lehrmann rape trial
[
edit
]
The Australian Federal Police withheld evidence provided by ACT Policing investigators to ACT prosecutors in
2021 Australian Parliament House sexual misconduct allegations
to an inquiry into the handling of the matter due to laws preventing the agency from disclosing certain information. This led to accusations the agency was refusing to hand over the evidence.
[37]
[38]
The inquiry was created in the wake of accusations of mishandling made by both the
ACT's Director of Public Prosecutions
,
Shane Drumgold
, and the Australian Federal Police against each other.
[39]
[40]
Member's conditions
[
edit
]
The AFP changed rules around how firearms are checked out after a series of suicides in their offices, these changes were criticised by the
Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA)
as a quick fix.
[41]
[42]
The AFP has been criticised for low salaries, with accusations of having some of the lowest salaries of any police agency in Australia and some members being forced to find further employment.
[43]
[44]
The AFPA has claimed that the AFP had become the lowest paid law enforcement agency in Australia and is losing dozens of officers to other agencies each month.
[45]
Operation Bourglinster
[
edit
]
The AFP was criticised for an operation in which it targeted a young boy with
autism spectrum disorder
who had developed a fixation on a terrorist organisation. The boy's parent reported their concerns to authorities, leading to the
Australian Security Intelligence Organisation
,
Victoria Police
, and AFP joint counter-terrorism team (JCTT) to begin Operation Bourglinster. Officers of the JCTT were accused of encouraging the boy's ideation with terrorism, leading to a Victorian court to impose a permanent stay on charges.
[46]
Media portrayal
[
edit
]
The AFP has appeared in several fictional
television series
and
documentaries
. The AFP was the focus of a documentary series called
AFP (TV series)
, which followed AFP operations and training in Australia and internationally. AFP members have also appeared in other documentary series such as
Border Security: Australia's Front Line
and the
Keeping Australia Safe
mini-series.
The AFP is portrayed in the
true crime
-
drama
series
Underbelly
and is also portrayed in the
military
action
series
NCIS: Sydney
along with the United States
Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)
.
