arresting officer

Australian Crime Commission (Queensland) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016

This bill updates Queensland laws to reflect the merger of the national CrimTrac policing database into the Australian Crime Commission, and bundles in several unrelated police, weapons and fire safety changes. It expands police powers to arrest on another officer's instruction, search vehicles for knives, and deploy explosives detection dogs in public places, while also giving fire officers new powers to identify building occupiers.
