Media plan for general drug detection operations
Dear Police Force, NSW,
My request is directed to the Public Affairs and Corporate Communications - Media Unit, and pertains to general drug detection operations using detection dogs in NSW.
I wish to obtain a copy of any guidelines and written advice given to police officers who provide comment for media stories on general drug detection operations.
Yours faithfully,
Will Tregoning

Will reports that the "NSW Police advised that I would have to submit a formal GIPA request so I have done that with the assistance of a lawyer."
