Title: Project Odin: Identifying and Managing High Risk Officers in the NSW Police Force
Summary: In February 2007, the Police Integrity Commission commenced a project examining the practice of identifying and managing high risk officers in the New South Wales Police Force. By the term high risk officer, the Commission means officers who because of their histories pose a risk of engaging in misconduct. The project was undertaken by the Commission to develop a better understanding of how NSW Police Force commands identify and manage these officers and to recommend improvement, if required. To the extent that the term high risk officer is used by NSW Police Force commands to identify officers with conduct risks, the project was also concerned with assessing the effectiveness of that practice. This report presents the research findings of the project as well as the recommendations.

Title: Improper Associations in the NSW Police Force: A Review of Compliance with Policies and Guidelines
Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which New South Wales police officers are complying with the Conflicts of Interest (Improper Associations) Policy and Guidelines with regards to declaring their improper associations. An improper association is defined as an association between an employee and a person, group or organization that is involved (or perceived to be involved) in an activity that is incompatible with the NSW Police Force's role to uphold the law. In other words, an improper association is an association between a NSW Police Force employee and a person who is a known criminal, or is suspected or perceived to be involved in criminal activities. The results showed a poor level of compliance with the policy. Very few police officers with a known improper association made a written declaration regarding their association. Recommendations for improving compliance with the policy are outlined in this paper.

Title: Project Marrella: Is Misconduct by NSW Police Officers Affected by the Number of Students in a Training Intake at the NSW Police College?
Summary: The number of students being trained at police colleges and academies can vary greatly and occasionally, very large numbers of students are recruited and trained. A perception exists that when larger than usual numbers of students are recruited and trained at police colleges and academies, the students trained in these large intakes are more likely to engage in misconduct once they become police officers than those trained in smaller intakes. This project, code named Project Marrella, tested the validity of this perception for NSW police officers using complaints as a proxy for misconduct. The results showed that students trained in large intakes were not more likely to be the subject of complaints in their first two years of service than students trained in smaller intakes. The perception that students trained in large intakes are more likely to engage in misconduct once they become police officers than trained in smaller intakes is therefore not valid for NSW police officers when complaints are used as a proxy for misconduct.
