AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE
Section 1: Agency overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is an independent statutory authority whose
functions are set out in section 8 of the Australian Federal Police Act 1979 (the AFP Act).
The AFP is also guided by a Ministerial Direction, issued under section 37(2) of the
AFP Act.
Under section 8 of the AFP Act, the AFP’s functions include:
•
the provision of police services in relation to laws of the Commonwealth, the
property of the Commonwealth (including Commonwealth places), and the
safeguarding of Commonwealth interests
•
the provision of police services in relation to the Australian Capital Territory, the
Jervis Bay Territory and Australia’s external territories (e.g. Christmas Island)
•
protective and custodial functions as directed by the Minister
•
the provision of police services and police support services to assist or cooperate
with an Australian or foreign law enforcement agency, intelligence or security
agency, or government regulatory agency, and
•
the provision of police services and police support services in relation to
establishing, developing and monitoring peace, stability and security in foreign
countries.
The AFP also performs functions under the Witness Protection Act 1994 and the Proceeds
of Crime Act 2002.
The Ministerial Direction issued on 1 July 2010 notes that the AFP is Australia’s
international law enforcement and policing representative and the chief source of
advice to the Australian Government on policing issues. It identifies a number of key
strategic priorities, including:
•
countering the threat of terrorism
•
supporting implementation of the Commonwealth Organised Crime Strategic
Framework
•
safeguarding the nation’s economic interests from serious fraud, money laundering
and other crimes
•
contributing effectively to border management, including people smuggling
•
combating transnational organised crime
•
participating in international peacekeeping operations and capacity building
•
countering the threat of cyber crime

Australian Federal Police
•
managing the law enforcement aspects of aviation security, and
•
protecting specific individuals, establishments and events.
The Ministerial Direction also identifies other strategic priorities and sets out the
Minister’s expectations of how the AFP will deliver on those priorities.
The AFP will continue to maximise the benefits of its 2010–11 change to a
program-based Portfolio Budget Statement, based on the recommendations made in
the Federal Audit of Police Capabilities undertaken by Mr Roger Beale AO in 2009, to
allocate resources flexibly in 2012–13. The focus of the AFP’s resource management
strategy will be the application of resources to activities that are likely to have the
greatest impact on criminal networks and security threats, both within Australia and
offshore.
The AFP will:
•
finalise the project planning for delivery of a modern purpose-built forensic facility
that will ensure the AFP maintains appropriate forensic and technical intelligence
capability in line with scientific advances, government policy initiatives, the
requirements of the judicial system and crisis demands such as disaster victim
identification
•
complete the establishment of a new Proceeds of Crime Litigation function as part
of its Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce, and
•
continue to deliver Official Development Assistance programs in the Pacific,
Timor-Leste and Afghanistan.
The AFP is held to the highest standards of professional and public accountability. The
AFP’s professional standards are underpinned by the AFP core values and AFP code
of conduct. The AFP core values are integrity, commitment, excellence, accountability,
fairness and trust. The AFP is also subject to external oversight and accountability
measures, including the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity, the
Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law
Enforcement.
The national security and criminal threat environment in which the AFP operates
remains complex and dynamic. A significant measure of the AFP’s success is its
ability to work collaboratively with partner agencies. As a key member of the
Australian national security community, the AFP leads and contributes to many
whole-of-government national security initiatives. A number of the AFP’s operational
investigations are undertaken together with state and territory police. Within the
region and internationally, the AFP works with other international law enforcement
agencies to address the threats posed by transnational crime and to prevent criminal
activity offshore before it reaches Australia.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government agencies achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Agencies are required to identify the programs that contribute to
government outcomes over the budget and forward years.
The AFP’s outcomes are described below together with the related programs,
specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the
performance of the AFP in achieving government outcomes.
Outcome 1: Reduced criminal and security threats to Australia’s collective
economic and societal interests through co-operative policing services
Outcome 1 strategy
The AFP has four programs in Outcome 1. Three of these programs are operational:
National Security—Policing; International Deployments; and Operations—Policing.
The fourth program is Close Operational Support.
The three operational programs acknowledge key features of the current environment:
(i) threats to Australians and Australia’s interests have an international base;
(ii) organised serious crime represents, in itself, a security threat to Australian
interests; and (iii) fragile states provide opportunities for terrorist and other criminal
enterprises to flourish. These programs integrate prevention and disruption priorities
towards crime reduction and impede criminal elements that threaten the security of
Australians and Australian interests.
In 2012–13 the AFP will continue to deliver under the realigned structure
recommended in the Federal Audit of Police Capabilities conducted by Mr Roger
Beale AO. This structure will focus on priority areas including the prevention and
disruption of serious and organised crime and Commonwealth crimes that require
immediate and priority intervention, countering the threat of terrorism, protecting
Australia’s national interest and enhancing the rule of law internationally.
The National Security—Policing Program focuses on preventing security threats to
Australia through its counter-terrorism, aviation and protection functions.
The International Deployments Program promotes national security by providing
policing support for enhanced rule of law internationally. This is facilitated through
the AFP’s Official Development Assistance capacity-building in Asia and the Pacific
and the AFP’s contribution to United Nations missions.
151
Australian Federal Police
The Operations—Policing Program, incorporating the Crime Operations and Serious
and Organised Crime portfolios, now incorporates the Criminal Assets Confiscation
Taskforce. This program, along with the ongoing implementation of the Organised
Crime Strategic Framework, will be instrumental in enabling appropriate resourcing of
operational activity, thereby ensuring sufficient flexibility to respond to emerging
threats.
The fourth program, Close Operational Support, remains a single functional stream to
support the three operational programs. Functions within this stream will ensure that
the AFP remains well positioned to address advancements in criminal use of emerging
technologies. High-Tech Crime Operations will investigate specific offences through its
Cyber Crime and Child Protection teams and provide the organisation with technical
and physical operations support across all crime types. AFP intelligence will provide
professional intelligence services to support law enforcement and national security
activities and decision making.
Program 1.4 will also include the new AFP Proceeds of Crime Litigation function.
Forming part of the Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce, this function will support
the investigative arm within Operations—Policing (Program 1.3) in attacking the
financial base of crime by removing the instruments and proceeds of crime as the
Commonwealth litigator.
The AFP will enhance intelligence-led and risk-based approaches, prioritise
deployment of its resources around criminal and security risks and continuously
reinvigorate its investigations capability. Accordingly, the critical focus of the AFP’s
Outcome 1 strategy will be the application of resources and skills to tasks where they
will have the greatest impact and disruptive effect on criminal networks and security
threats.

Contributions to Outcome 1
Program 1.1: National Security—Policing
Program 1.1 objective
This program contributes to Outcome 1 through a primary focus on prevention
delivered by the following functions: Counter Terrorism, Aviation and Protection.
The Counter Terrorism function will prevent, disrupt and investigate terrorist
activity against Australia and Australian interests both domestically and
internationally.
Aviation will prevent and respond to crime at Australia’s major airports by
providing an AFP sworn police capability to perform a Counter-Terrorist First
Response and community policing role. The Aviation function will continue to
transition to the ‘All–In’ model (Project Macer) as outlined in the Federal Audit of
Police Capabilities conducted by Mr Roger Beale AO, achieving efficiencies by
consolidating Aviation’s administration and operational resources.
The Protection function will ensure that individuals and interests, identified by the
Commonwealth to be at risk, are kept safe from acts of terrorism, crime and
issue-motivated violence. This will be achieved in partnership with other
Commonwealth, state and territory agencies and government departments.
Program 1.1 expenses
Program 1.1 is expected to incur expenses of $367.353m in 2012–13, a reduction of
$10.082m from 2011–12. This represents the net impact of the efficiency dividend,
revision of lease costs at airports and the withdrawal of the AFP from Alice Springs
Airport, offset by additional cost-recovered Protection activities.

Program 1.1 key performance indicators
The strength of collaborative policing and cooperation within the national security
and protection sector is measured by the level of satisfaction expressed in the AFP
business satisfaction survey. This includes obtaining feedback from key stakeholders
and clients within the realm of the Counter Terrorism, Aviation and Protection
functions.
Successful planning, preparedness, response and recovery are reflected through
concentration of resources on prevention of terrorism, criminal acts, dealing with
issue-motivated violence and preparing operational responses, strategic advice and
support to major events. This is delivered through deterrent and prevention
activities, active patrolling, and proactive response to security operations and
incidents based on intelligence-led threat and risk analysis. Successful disruption
and deterrence is also reflected in successful criminal case outcomes.
The Aviation capability is additionally measured through meeting benchmark
response times and community confidence at airports.
The Witness Protection Act 1994 requires that the Commissioner keep the Minister
informed of the performance and effectiveness of the National Witness Protection
Program and, further, that in consultation with the Commissioner, the Minister
must prepare and cause to be laid before each House of Parliament an annual report
on those issues. The reporting of these matters is to be undertaken in a manner that
does not prejudice the effectiveness or security of the National Witness Protection
Program.

Program 1.2: International Deployments
Program 1.2 objective
The AFP’s International Deployment Group (IDG) contributes to national security
by providing, on behalf of the Australian Government, policing support for
enhanced rule of law internationally. The IDG delivers Official Development
Assistance through programs meeting the government’s aid objectives by improving
the capacity and effectiveness of policing which contributes to alleviating poverty by
improving regional and international security, stability and governance.
In conjunction with regional and international governments and the United Nations,
the IDG implements offshore capacity development programs and law enforcement
initiatives that enhance the effectiveness of, and public confidence in, regional
and international police services. The IDG also provides a rapidly deployable
crisis-response capability for deteriorating law and order and disaster situations.
The IDG has the organisational lead for AFP interoperability with the Australian
Defence Force, particularly in whole-of-government international deployments. The
IDG works with AusAID to enable whole-of-government and international
development efforts linking the rule of law and socioeconomic development. This
includes contributing to the achievement of goals and objectives arising from the
government response to the Independent Review of Aid Effectiveness.
In addition to international objectives, the IDG supports specifically targeted
domestic initiatives and community policing in Australia’s external territories
(e.g. Christmas Island) and supports high-risk tactical operations for Outcome 1.
Program 1.2 expenses
Program 1.2 is expected to incur expenses of $310.887m in 2012–13, a reduction of
$41.261m when compared to 2011–12. This is largely composed of a net reduction in
International Deployment expenses when compared to 2011–12 of $13.630m plus an
estimated reduction in cost-recovered activity of $17.106m and the effect of the
efficiency dividend and other savings measures totalling $7.651m.

Program 1.3: Operations—Policing
Program 1.3 objective
This program seeks to reduce the criminal threats to Australia’s collective economic
and societal interests by employing a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary
approach to the fight against Commonwealth crime. This includes transnational
crime (drug trafficking, people smuggling and human trafficking), as well as
financial and corporate crime, identity crime and other Commonwealth offences.
A key component to the delivery of this program is the AFP’s International Liaison
Network, designed to reduce criminal threats by fighting crime offshore at its
source, enhancing regional security and stability and promoting stable global order
through international collaboration and good international citizenship.
Through this program, the AFP will lead Australia’s capacity to detect and defeat
serious and organised crime through the ongoing implementation of response plans
under the Commonwealth Organised Crime Strategic Framework. This will be
achieved in collaboration with domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies and
other key government agency partners.
The program also delivers the investigative arm of the AFP-led multi-agency
Commonwealth Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce. In attacking the financial
base of serious and organised crime, the taskforce employs a proactive
intelligence-led approach in the identification and pursuit of criminal wealth.
The AFP will tackle a broad spectrum of criminality and continue to expand its
activity to impact on criminal enterprises and networks in order to disrupt and
prevent crime, and pursue prosecutions of those involved.
Program 1.3 expenses
Program 1.3 is expected to incur expenses of $261.034m in 2012–13, a reduction of
$16.044m from 2011–12. This is largely driven by the impacts of the efficiency
dividend coupled with a reduction in anticipated revenue from cost recovered
activities.

Australian Federal Police
Program 1.3 key performance indicators
The strength and effectiveness of external partnerships is measured by the level of
satisfaction expressed in the AFP business satisfaction survey by key clients and
stakeholders.
The proportion of joint investigations and those involving pursuit of the money trail
will show increasing adherence to key elements of the Organised Crime Strategic
Framework. The Commonwealth Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce is
measured by the value of assets restrained.
The Drug Harm Index and the Estimated Financial Return are social impact
measures that summarise the impact in dollar terms to the community of law
enforcement efforts regarding the importation of illicit drugs and precursors, and
economic crime, respectively. The Drug Harm Index is the estimate of the potential
harm that would have ensued if drugs seized at the border had reached the
community. The Estimated Financial Return is the amount of money estimated to be
saved by law enforcement efforts into crimes such as fraud and money laundering,
based on estimates of past losses recovered, and specific and general deterrence.
Although specific targets have been set for these measures prior to 2010–11, the
undue influence of single, large seizures or frauds decreases the utility of these for
tracking performance. Further, specific targets do not accurately capture the
disruptive effect of international seizures. These measures, however, provide an
important element of cost–benefit analyses by assessing whether the effort expended
in law enforcement outweighs the aggregate costs. For these reasons, return on
investment is included as the key performance indicator, with a target greater than
1.0 indicating value for money.

Program 1.4 expenses
Program 1.4 is expected to incur expenses of $269.792m in 2012–13, a reduction of

Program expenses are anticipated to rise by $3.650m in 2014–15 and by $10.063m in
2015–16 due to an increase in expenses not requiring appropriation from
depreciation on capital works projects.

Program 1.4 key performance indicators
The strength of cooperation within this program is measured by the level of
satisfaction expressed in the AFP business satisfaction survey. This includes
obtaining feedback from key stakeholders and external clients.
With regard to Forensic and Data Centres, accreditation ensures an external
benchmark level of quality for the forensic disciplines. The other key performance
indicators for Forensic and Data Centres show evidence of response and completion
rates for requests and programs.
The key performance indicators for High-Tech Crime ensure resources are allocated
on the basis of intelligence and high-priority work leading to disruption and/or
convictions. Other activities create sustainable technical and physical capabilities,
and a community that is empowered to reduce the incidence and impact of crime.
The effectiveness of Intelligence services is measured by the feedback from key
clients as received though the external satisfaction survey.

The Policing Arrangement provides for an annually negotiated Purchase Agreement
between the AFP and the ACT Government, which defines annual community policing
objectives. The 2012–13 Purchase Agreement is expected to be signed by July 2012.
ACT community policing services are provided for under section 8 of the AFP Act.

Contributions to Outcome 2
Program 2.1: ACT Community Policing
Program 2.1 objective
The primary aim for Outcome 2 is the provision of a community policing capacity to
the ACT Government. AFP activities in this regard include the four key outputs of
crime and safety management, road safety, prosecution and judicial support, and
crime prevention.
Program 2.1 expenses
The movement in total expenses for Program 2.1 across the forward estimates is
due to expected increases in the cost of providing policing services for the
ACT Government.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.2.1 Differences in agency resourcing and financial statements
There is no material difference between the agency resourcing and financial
statements.
3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Income statement
Total revenue is estimated to be $1,251.904m, a net increase of $20.166m from the
previously published estimate of $1,231.738m in the 2011–12 Portfolio Budget
Statements. The net increase is a result of:
•
an appropriation decrease of $3.162m resulting from the combined impact of the
expense and savings measures
•
a net decrease of $0.899m in appropriation revenue from wage cost index
adjustments, and
•
an increase in own-source revenue estimates of $24.455m.
Total expenses for 2012–13 are estimated to be $1,340.817m, a net increase of $1.601m
from the previously published estimate of $1,339.216m. The net increase is primarily a
result of:
•
an increase of $37.809m in employee benefits due to a focus on reinvigorating the
AFP’s investigative capacity
172
Australian Federal Police
•
a reduction in depreciation and amortisation forecast of $18.565m reflecting the
AFP’s revised capital program, and
•
a reduction in supplier expenses of $17.396m due to the impact of the efficiency
dividend and the reallocation of funding towards employees.
Balance sheet
The AFP’s estimated 2012–13 net assets of $448.337m represents a net decrease of
$30.019m from the previously published estimate. The decrease is primarily a result of
capital budget measures, combined with the effect of the 2010–11 actual operating
result and the 2011–12 budgeted loss being reflected in the 2012–13 Portfolio Budget
Statements.
Capital budget
The AFP’s estimated 2012–13 capital budget of $102.296m represents a net decrease of
$11.049m from the previously published estimate. The decrease reflects the
Departmental capital budgets—savings measure of $14.335m, offset by new capital budget
measures providing $3.277m.
Administered
Schedule of budgeted income and expenses
The AFP’s estimated administered expense for 2012–13 is $21.027m, an increase of
$3.528m from the previously published estimate. This mainly reflects new measure
funding of $3.545m.

3.2.4 Notes to the financial statements
Basis of accounting
The budgeted financial statements have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis,
having regard to Statements of Accounting Concepts, and in accordance with the
Finance Minister’s Orders, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
Departmental
Revenue from government
Amounts appropriated are recognised as revenue, except for certain amounts that
relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case revenue is recognised
only when it has been earned. Appropriations receivable are recognised at their
nominal amounts.
Sale of goods and rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of
completion of contracts at the reporting date. Rendering of services revenue consists of
revenue received under section 31 of the Financial Management and Accountability
Act 1997. This includes policing services provided to the ACT Government, protection
services, criminal records checking fees and other cost recovery activities.
Employee expenses
Employee expenses consist of salaries, leave entitlements, redundancy expenses,
superannuation and non-salary benefits.
Supplier expenses
Supplier expenses consist of operational expenditure, administrative costs,
consultants’ costs, travel expenses and property operating expenses.
Cash
Cash includes notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or other
financial institution.
Assets
Assets are made up of cash, receivables, leasehold improvements, and plant and
equipment. All assets are held at fair value.
Liabilities
Liabilities are made up of employee salary and leave entitlements, property lease
restoration obligations and amounts owed to creditors.
182
Australian Federal Police
Administered
Revenues
All administered revenues relate to the revenue received by the AFP on behalf of the
Australian Government.
Supplier expenses
Supplier expenses consist primarily of capacity development program expenditure.
