Critical incident investigations monitored by the LECC

The NSW Police are responsible for the investigation of critical incidents. We monitor the Police investigation of all critical incidents.

  • zooming in or out on the map to look at critical incidents by location
  • clicking on specific years to see critical incidents over time
  • tapping on policing regions (on the left which are colour coded) to find critical incidents in particular areas.

Recommendations Register

The Recommendations Register is a searchable database of recommendations we have made to the NSW Police Force (NSWPF) in our public reports.

Select the hyperlink of the Operation Name/Title of the Report if you would like to be redirected to a copy of the report on our website.

Interact with the data in the Recommendations Register below by:

  • filtering based on financial year or specific report
  • using the Keyword Search function to search for topics or areas of interest
  • selecting the drop down options under NSWPF Support Status or Implementation Status and filter based on the progress of the recommendations.

Dive deeper into the recommendations we’ve made and their implementation by right clicking on the 'See Recommendations’ button (bottom left-hand corner) and select ‘drill through’. This will take you to a page that contains the:

  • recommendation we made in full
  • date the recommendation was made
  • date the Commission received the NSWPF’s response to our recommendation
  • NSWPF’s response to our recommendation (N.B. the NSWPF’s response may be summarised based on length of the original response)
  • indication on whether the NSWPF supported or recommendation and any another comments the NSWPF made
  • implementation date of the recommendation (where applicable) and any other comments the Commission or NSWPF have made.

On some occasions, the Commission separately publishes the NSWPF’s response to our recommendations on our website. The information contained in these responses is replicated in the Recommendations Register under each respective report.

Click on the arrow at the bottom of the PowerBi Report to see Page 2.

Page 2 contains interactive snapshots of:

  • the number of recommendations we made per financial year
  • the number of recommendations based on each NSWPF Recommendation Support Status (e.g. Supported, Not Supported)
  • the number and proportion of recommendations the NSWPF supported and have implemented.
