Sent request to NSW Police Force again, using a new contact address.
Good afternoon Lauren,
I'm not exactly sure what your enquiry relates to?
If you have a complaint about a specific incident that has occurred, I suggest you lodge that with the relevant Police Area Command (Station).
If you are asking for a copy of a policy:
In order to make a request for NSW Police Force information, an applicant is required to submit a completed 'Formal Access' application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.
Below are instructions to submit an application online:
In your browser, type: portal.police.nsw.gov.au, then Enter.
You will be in the NSW Police Community Portal.
At the bottom of the screen, select “Access to Information”.
In the next screen, select “Continue”.
In the next screen, in the dropdown box, select “New Access Application”.
You will be asked 6 questions – Yes/No answers are required. If you are unsure, answer No, then continue on with the application.
There is a $30 application fee payable by credit card. The funds will NOT be deducted immediately - please ensure that you have available funds in your account for up to 5 business days.
Submit your application.
You will receive an email within 5 business days to confirm that your request has been validated and the $30.00 application fee will be deducted at this time.
Your GIPA application may take up to 20 business days to be completed – we are unable to expediate any applications.
Thank you
