Investigation services
The AFP offers a range of investigation services to agencies.
Agencies may request the AFP to undertake or assist with investigations, including:
- investigation of serious and complex matters including fraud, drug trafficking, organised crime, money laundering and people smuggling.
- operational assistance requested by agencies in the course of their criminal investigations, including execution of S3E Crimes Act 1914 search warrants, international liaison and Interpol requests,
- financial investigation services including training, advice and guidance relating to proceeds of crime.
- computer forensics and other forensic services in the AFP's state of-the-art laboratories.
- electronic evidence services including training, advice and forensic examination of seized computers and electronic items.
Before referring matters to the AFP, agencies should:
- refer to the Commonwealth's Fraud Control Policy (Attorney General's Department).
- read the protocols for referrals to the AFP
- consider whether the matter is likely to be politically sensitive, and
- be aware of how the AFP sets its operational priorities
Referrals are made through AFP Operations Monitoring Centres. To ensure that the AFP's resources are directed to the highest priority activities, all referrals are assessed using the AFP's Case Categorisation and Prioritisation Model
