This followed a review of Australia 's anti-terrorism capacity by Sir Robert Mark, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in the UK, which was commissioned by the Fraser Government following the 1978 Hilton bombing. In November 1979, the Federal Narcotics Bureau was transferred to the new agency. In 1984 the protective service component of the AFP was separated forming the Australian Protective Service under the administrative service and later governed by Attorney - General 's Department ; that agency was transferred back to the AFP in 2004 and is now known as Australian Federal Police Uniform Protection. Oversight The AFP is overseen by the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement. Roles and functions The AFP 's role is to enforce Australian criminal law, contribute to combating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime impacting Australia 's national security and to protect Commonwealth interests from criminal activity in Australia and overseas. The AFP is responsible to the Minister for Home Affairs, a ministerial position outside the federal cabinet and subordinate to the Attorney - General. Key priorities of the AFP are set by the Minister for Home Affairs, through a `` ministerial direction '' issued under the Australian Federal Police Act 1979. Areas of operational emphasis include : investigating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime protecting Australians and Australian interests from terrorism and violent extremism representing Australian police and law enforcement on an international level developing unique capabilities and exploiting advanced technology to support Australia 's national interests. Continued responsibilities include providing : community policing services under contracted arrangement, to the Australian Capital Territory and territories of Christmas Island, Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands, Norfolk Island and Jervis Bay Territory. a national protection capability to ensure the protection of specific individuals, establishments and events identified by the Australian Government as being at risk. a national counter-terrorism first response capability focused on aviation security and protection of critical infrastructure. National operations Federal agents are based in each Australian state and territory capital city, internationally and form the largest component of the AFP staff, federal agents chiefly perform criminal investigative duties. Current areas of focus for the AFP : Illicit drug trafficking Organised people smuggling ; Human Trafficking, including sexual servitude and human exploitation ; Serious major fraud against the government High - tech crime involving information technology and communications Prevention, countering and investigation of terrorism Transnational and multi-jurisdictional crime Money laundering Organised crime The AFP hosts a National Missing Persons Coordination Unit, the Australian Interpol National Central Bureau, and the Australian Bomb Data Centre. Members of the AFP outside the ACT and other federal territory do not exercise the powers, obligations and liabilities of a constable at common law. Consequently, they are identified by each state as federal agents ; that is, a member of a law enforcement agency, not a police service. Assault rifle - armed AFP officers are situated in both chambers of the Australian Parliament as of 2015. It is the first time in Australian history that parliament has been guarded by armed personnel. Community policing Main article : ACT Policing A traffic operations vehicle, with traffic operations and other officers in ceremonial dress at the 2008 national Anzac Day service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The AFP provides community policing services to the ACT, under a contractual agreement between the Australian Government and the ACT government. This AFP portfolio, ACT Policing, is the successor of the ACT Police, one of the agencies that was merged to form the AFP in 1979. The mission of ACT Policing is to keep the peace and preserve public safety for the residents of the ACT. Key sections of ACT Policing include general duties, crime and safety management, criminal investigations, crime prevention, traffic operations and criminal intelligence. The head of ACT Policing is known as the chief police officer of the ACT. The AFP provides community policing and counter terrorism first response duties at major Australian airports, and community policing in the Jervis Bay territory and in the external Australian territories of Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, and the Cocos Islands. The AFP provides a mix of United Nations peacekeeping, community policing and capacity development roles and services in a number of nations. Uniform protection AFP providing uniform protection outside the Swedish Embassy in Canberra, Australia AFP uniform protection provides physical protection for the Australian government at key locations throughout Australia and internationally. Uniform protection officers are firearms and defensive tactics trained, and perform duties which include armed escorts, bomb appraisals, bomb detection canines, visitor control, static guarding, alarm monitoring and response, mobile, foot and bicycle patrols, maintain civil order, security consultancy services, counter-terrorism first response at many Commonwealth establishments. Uniform protection officers have powers under Section 14 of the AFP Act 1979 to arrest, stop, search, and request identification in their jurisdiction. Uniform protection officers undertake an essential role in protecting Australia 's critical infrastructure and assist in providing protection for Australian high office holders, diplomatic, consular personnel and other foreign nationals.

International peacekeeping Since its inception, the AFP has had a long tradition of involvement in international peacekeeping, policing and capacity development. International Deployment Group ( IDG ) is an AFP portfolio that has increased rapidly in a short time since its inception in 2004. Since 1964, Australia has contributed police officers to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus. AFP officers have also previously served with the United Nations in East Timor ( Timor Leste ) and South Sudan. In recent years, Australian government efforts to assist neighbouring and remote countries with institutional capacity building has led to AFP deployments to Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands ( Under the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands ), Timor - Leste ( Under the Timor - Leste Police Development Program TLPDP ), Nauru, Tonga, Vanuatu, Afghanistan, Samoa and Vanuatu. Previous peacekeeping missions have included Haiti, Mozambique, Thailand, Namibia, and Somalia. IDG uses the Specialist Response Group for particular medium and high risk planned operations or emergency incidents in addition to assisting with capacity building and force protection operations.

Structure Joint Counter terrorism Teams The Joint Counter Terrorism Teams ( JCTTs ) in each state and territory jurisdiction consisting of AFP, state and territory police, and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation officers. JCTTs conduct investigations to prevent and disrupt terrorism and violent extremism. The JCTT model can be seen as the Australian version of the United States ' Joint Terrorism Task Force, Canada 's Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams, and the United Kingdom 's National Counter Terrorism Policing Network. The National Disruption Group ( NDG ) is an AFP - led interagency team which consolidates the capabilities of participating agencies to prevent, disrupt and prosecute Australian nationals who travel or intend to travel offshore to engage in hostilities and / or undertake terrorism training and support to terrorist entities. The NDG brings together the AFP and its partner agencies to coordinate operational disruption activities nationally and internationally with the aim of countering the enduring threat posed by foreign fighters. Australian bomb Data Centre The Australian Bomb Data Centre ( ABDC ) is Australia 's primary source of information and intelligence relating to the unlawful use of explosives. The ABDC officially began operations on 1 July 1978, and it is therefore one of the oldest bomb data centres in the world. The ABDC provides statistical reporting on all explosive incidents reported to the Centre by Australian policing and military agencies. This includes any minor incidents or acts of vandalism reported by the relevant agency. The ABDC is concerned both with criminals who use explosives for their own benefit and with those who use explosives and bombs for terrorism. It maintains records of all bomb - related incidents reported to it, regardless of design, target or motive. The ABDC is staffed by members of the AFP as well as members of the Australian Defence Force. Australian high tech crime Centre The Australian High Tech Crime Centre ( AHTCC ) is a national cybercrime and cybersecurity initiative located within the AFP with staff also from the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and Australian Signals Directorate. The primary role of the AHTCC is to coordinate the efforts of Australian law enforcement in combating serious, complex and multi-jurisdictional high tech crimes, especially those beyond the capability of single policing jurisdictions in Australia. Secondary roles include protecting the information infrastructure of Australia, and providing information to other law enforcement to help combat online crime.

It was the longest detention without charge under recent anti-terror laws and was found to be unjustified. Martens conviction In October 2006 a Cairns jury convicted pilot Frederic Arthur Martens under sex tourism laws of having intercourse with a 14 - year - old girl in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. However, Martins was not in Port Moresby at the time, and flight records could prove this. The AFP refused to retrieve those records despite numerous requests, and Martins could not retrieve them as he was in jail. When the records were eventually retrieved by Martins ' partner the convictions were quashed, with strong criticism of the AFP by Justice Chesterman. The AFP also froze all of Martin 's funds while he was in custody, which prevented treatment for his daughter in Port Moresby who died as a result. The Bali nine The AFP were contacted by a member of the Bali Nine drug courier gang 's father, and they said they would keep a watch on him. They could not stop them traveling to Indonesia to smuggle drugs. Instead, they contacted the Indonesian Police which led to their arrest in Indonesia rather than when returning to Australia. The leaders of the gang Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed on 29 April 2015. Harun Causevic Over 200 heavily armed police conducted raids at 3am at various houses in Victoria on 19 April 2015, and then held Harun Causevic on a Preventative Detention Order ( PDO ), before charging him with terrorist offences. Victorian premier Daniel Andrews said this was the first time a PDO had been used, and validated their importance. However, after Causevic spent three months in jail awaiting trial the federal police decided to drop the terrorism charges. Causevic 's defense lawyer, Rob Stary, said there was never any real evidence against Causevic, and that this eroded confidence in the authorities. He was also critical of the earlier `` grandstanding '' of Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Daniel Andrews.
