The NSW Crime Commission’s purpose is to disrupt, reduce and prevent the incidence of organised and other serious crime in New South Wales. The Commission is structured into several divisions, support teams and specialist units.
The function of conducting criminal and financial investigations is assigned to the Commission’s Operations Division. Investigations are typically conducted pursuant to a Management Committee reference to investigate or approval to work in cooperation with a joint task force comprising one or more of the Commission’s partner agencies. The Operations Division is also responsible for the Commission’s Strategic Intelligence capability, the provision of specialist investigative support services and of advice and recommendations to Government in relation to minimising the impact of serious and organised crime on the NSW community.
