Other information

Reporting and investigating alleged corruption

Reports of alleged potential corruption within the South Australian public sector are received by SAPOL’s Anti-Corruption Section (ACS) from a variety of sources including the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (ICAC), the Australian Crime and Intelligence Commission, the Crown Solicitors Office, SAPOL’s Internal Investigation Section, Crime Stoppers, police officers, members of the public, and from information provided pursuant to the requirements of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018.

Type of Investigation	2019-20
ACS Investigation	115
ACS / ICAC Joint Investigation	2

In the ordinary course of business, ACS may conduct an initial investigation to assess information to determine whether there is a reasonable suspicion of corruption, or of serious or systemic misconduct or maladministration. Where such a suspicion is subsequently formed the matter is reported to the ICAC. In some cases ACS will provide the initial information or allegation(s) to the ICAC as a matter of course.

In many cases matters may be ‘filed’ following initial assessment/investigation, where there is no reasonable suspicion of corruption and no supporting evidence to warrant further enquiries into the information.

Where ICAC/Office for Public Integrity (OPI) has referred a matter to SAPOL to conduct an investigation, the Officer in Charge, ACS (or delegate) will determine whether that investigation is to be conducted by ACS, or alternatively sent to another appropriate SAPOL area. In certain circumstances where deemed warranted, ACS may commence a full investigation into a matter and advise the ICAC of the commencement of that investigation.

It is the case that having received a report of suspected potential corruption from ACS, the ICAC may decide to refer the matter back to ACS for continued investigation, or to propose that the matter be a joint SAPOL/ICAC investigation. The ICAC may also direct that SAPOL cease investigating the matter.

It should be noted from time to time the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI) may also direct joint investigations with ACS pursuant to Law Enforcement Integrity Commissioner Act 2006. No joint ACS/ACLEI investigations were commenced during this reporting period.

The breakdown of total ACS investigations managed during 2019-20 is recorded below.

Type of Investigation	2019-20
Miscellaneous Assessment	87
ACS Operations	4
Investigations Referred SAPOL areas (not retained at ACS)	24

A breakdown of the category of the ‘public official’ alleged to have been involved in a potential issue of corruption in public administration is depicted below (as far as can be determined). Where a matter has allegedly involved more than one nominated ‘suspect’, the ‘public official’ status of the primary suspect is recorded.

Public Officials Defined (total investigations)	2019-20
SAPOL Police Officer – sworn (including Community Constables)	39
SAPOL – unsworn / cadet	5
Protective Security	0
Other SA Public Sector	44
Local Government	4
State Government	17
Other (including civilians)	6
