Unlike detecting and investigating misconduct, preventing police misconduct requires intervening before the misconduct occurs. Consistent with this, in 2007 the Commission commenced a project, codenamed Project Manta. In Project Manta, the Commission sought to draw an analogy between Occupational Health and Safety and the task of minimising corruption and other forms of serious police misconduct. Just as Occupational Health and Safety strategies seek to minimise employee accidents and maximise employee safety by identifying and managing workplace hazards and associated risks independent of the particular individuals who occupy the positions, Project Manta seeks to inform strategies to minimise police misconduct by examining how NSW Police Force commands identify, communicate and manage those aspects of policing which may pose integrity hazards or vulnerabilities for misconduct, independent of the particular individuals who occupy the positions. Such integrity hazards or command vulnerabilities and their associated risks (referred to as ‘misconduct risks’ in this report) may arise from the types of work police undertake, staffing profiles and other aspects of the policing environment which may increase the likelihood of some officers engaging in misconduct. This is the second of two reports arising from Project Manta. An earlier report, Project Manta Report 1: Identification and Communication of Command Misconduct Risks (Police Integrity Commission 2009), examined the nature of the misconduct risks faced by individual commands and the identification and communication of these misconduct risks. Amongst other things, this first report considered how differences in policing environments and types of work undertaken might affect the misconduct risks to which commands may be susceptible. It examined strategies that may assist commands identify their most important misconduct risks and communicate these risks to assist their officers to recognise these risks and respond appropriately. This second report concerns the ways that NSW Police Force commands manage or treat their corruption and other serious misconduct risks. In relation to treating corruption and other serious misconduct risks, Project Manta sought to contribute to the prevention of police misconduct by: examining the misconduct risk treatment, monitoring and review processes in place in a sample of commands to identify strengths, as well as areas for improvement, in current processes attempting to identify examples of good practice in misconduct risk management and misconduct prevention employed by individual commands that could be disseminated to other commands. Project Manta concentrates on activities at the command level because the NSW Police Force assigns responsibility for misconduct risk management to the commands.

Author: Gorta, Angela Title: Preventing Corruption: Lessons from Occupational Health and Safety Summary: Unlike detecting and investigating corruption, preventing corruption requires intervening before the corrupt conduct occurs. However, the best ways to intervene are not always clear. This Research and Issues Paper illustrates practical ways of intervening to prevent or minimise corrupt conduct before it occurs by considering the similarities between the task of minimising corruption and the task of minimising workplace accidents. It identifies ten lessons from Occupational Health and Safety strategies for those who wish to prevent corruption and other forms of serious misconduct. While not a panacea, comparing corruption prevention strategies with Occupational Health and Safety strategies provides a useful way of both thinking about and communicating how to prevent corrupt conduct.

Author: Kirsch, Nadja Title: Corruption Risks Associated with the Execution of Search Warrants: A Review of Compliance with NSW Police Force Policies and Guidelines Summary: This paper examines how well the NSW Police Force is managing the corruption risks associated with search warrants. The PIC reviewed a sample of 98 search warrants to assess the extent to which officers are complying with NSW Police Force Standing Operating Procedures – Search Warrants. The paper contains recommendations for improving compliance with key aspects of the Standing Operating Procedures, in particular the filming of searches and record-keeping.
