CRIME AND CORRUPTION ACT 2001 - SECT 255
Secondment of officers
255 Secondment of officers
(1) The chief executive officer may arrange with the chief executive of a
department, or with another unit of public administration, for the services of
officers or employees of the department or other unit to be made available (
"seconded" ) to the commission.
(2) The arrangement is not effective unless
it has been approved by— (a) for a secondment of an officer or employee of
the parliamentary service—the Speaker; or
(b) for a secondment of a member
of the police service—the Minister and the Minister administering the
Police Service Administration Act 1990 ; or
(c) for a secondment of another
officer or employee— (i) if the secondment is to a position at a level
equivalent to or above the level of a senior officer under the
Public Sector Act 2022 —the Minister and the Minister responsible for the
unit of public administration from which the person is to be seconded; or
(ii) if the secondment is to a position at another level—the chief executive
of the unit of public administration from which the person is to be seconded.
(3) An officer or employee seconded to the commission under this section is
subject to the direction and control of the chief executive officer.
(4)
However, if police officers are seconded to the commission, their efficient
deployment is to be the joint responsibility of the chief executive officer
and the most senior police officer seconded to the commission.
(5) Without
limiting section 174 (2) , a police officer seconded to the commission under
this section continues to be a police officer for all purposes and to have the
functions and powers of a police officer without being limited to the
performance of the commission’s functions. Example for subsection (5)— A
police officer seconded to the commission may exercise the powers of a police
officer under the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 for an
investigation of alleged corruption involving a relevant offence as defined in
section 323 of that Act.
(6) This section does not apply to the
establishment of a police task force or to police officers who are part of a
police task force.
