(1) A police officer
who exercises an exceptional power under this Division is to submit to the
Commissioner of Police a report in writing of each occasion on which that
power was exercised, giving details of —
(a) what
was done in the exercise of the powers; and
(b) the
time and place at which the power was exercised; and
(c) any
person or property affected by the exercise of the power.
(2) The report is to
be submitted within 5 days after the power is exercised.
(3) The obligation of
a police officer to submit a report under this section about a particular
exercise of power within a particular time is sufficiently complied with if
the police officer ensures that a report by another police officer who was
present when the power was exercised is made within that time dealing with all
of the details about which a report is required.
(4) The Commissioner
of Police is to give a copy of the report to the Commission as soon as is
reasonably practicable after the Commissioner of Police is given the report.
