New South Wales Consolidated Acts

SECURITY INDUSTRY ACT 1997 - SECT 16A

16A Restrictions on granting licence-conflict of interest for police officers

(1) The Commissioner must refuse to grant an application for a licence to a police officer or other member of the NSW Police Force if the Commissioner considers that the grant of the licence, or the carrying on of the security activities authorised by the licence, would create a conflict of interest between the proper performance of the officer’s or member’s duties as an officer or member and the officer’s or member’s private interests.

(2) However, the Commissioner may grant an application for a licence to a police officer or other member of the NSW Police Force subject to the condition that the person may not be employed by specified persons, if to do so would avoid a conflict of interest of the kind described in subsection (1). This subsection does not limit the other conditions to which a licence may be subject.
