This report describes the mandate and achievements to date (March 24, 1994, to June 30, 1994) of Australia's Commonwealth Law Enforcement Board (CLEB).
Abstract
The CLEB was established on March 23, 1994, by the Federal Government following consideration of the Report of the Review of Commonwealth Law Enforcement Arrangements (the Review). In creating the CLEB, the Government expects to achieve improved coordination of policy advice, priority setting, and operational relationships among law enforcement agencies. The CLEB consists of the chairperson of the National Crime Authority, the Secretary to the Commonwealth Attorney-General's Department, the commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, the chairperson of the Australian Securities Commission, and an executive member. The primary objectives of CLEB are to improve the Government's access to information about law enforcement, to improve the quality of priority-setting decisions, to provide a set of standards to enhance the management and performance of law enforcement agencies, and to facilitate better coordination among agencies. Specific functions of the CLEB are described, and a chart shows Commonwealth law enforcement arrangements. Achievements to date are outlined, and future directions are presented. A financial statement for April, May, and June is included.
