Good Afternoon Leo,

Yes I can confirm that all changes made to a COPS report would be
trackable and can be addressed in a valid GIPA application.

Please see the attached forms for your reference.

Dear NSW Police Force,

I believe Event/Incident Reports are filed on a computer system that is
readily accessible from any Police Station terminal.

Given such a file needs to be created then saved, it would suggest that
file can also be edited. Therefore, in the interest of transparency, are
any and all dates an Incident Report or Event Report is edited, added to
or altered, so recorded against that file? And, if so, can that
information be made known should a valid GIPA application be made seeking
information on that Incident or Event Report?

Yours faithfully,

Leo Muter

Good Afternoon Leo,

Depending on what information is changed within a COPS event, this would
appear in the event history.
All dates/times of amendments and details of  staff accessing the event
 report are recorded and can be retrieved on an audit if need be.

Kind Regards,

Erin

Dear #GIPAAPP,

COPS appears to have 'creation date' and 'print date'

are you certain COPS REPORT has the dates recorded for any amendments,
alterations or re-editing?

Yours sincerely,

Leo Muter
