Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

When a report is made about warrants under subpart 6A of Part 2, you need to know what information must be included. This information is required by section 170(1)(ba) and includes the number of applications made under section 18B. You also need to know the number of warrants issued under section 18D. You have to include details about each warrant issued under section 18D, such as the number of searches conducted and the number of places searched. You must also include the number of vehicles searched and the number of weapons seized as a result of the searches. The report must also state the number of people charged in criminal proceedings where a warrant issued under section 18D helped to collect important evidence. The information in the report helps to keep track of how warrants are used under subpart 6A of Part 2, as outlined in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, and includes details about the execution of warrants issued under section 18D, as referred to in section 170(1)(ba) and section 18B, and section 18D.
