CORRECTIONS MANAGEMENT ACT 2007 - SECT 125

Searches—use of corrections dogs

    (1)     The director-general may direct a corrections officer to use a corrections dog to assist the officer in conducting a search under this part.

    (2)     Without limiting subsection (1), the director-general may give the direction if the director-general believes, on reasonable grounds, that the assistance of the dog would minimise the intrusiveness of the search of a detainee by the officer.

    (3)     The corrections officer and corrections dog may enter, and remain at any place, to assist in the conduct of a search under this part.
