LAW ENFORCEMENT

The ANSR views law enforcement as the cornerstone of a safe and orderly society, entrusted with the vital responsibility of upholding the law and protecting the people. Policing should never be a tool of fear or intimidation, but a trusted and integral authority within the communities they serve. Our approach emphasises accountability, transparency, and active community engagement, ensuring that every citizen feels both safe and respected.

  • Under the new directive, all non-defence intelligence agencies will be consolidated into a single entity—the Secret Service. This agency will be the sole intelligence body outside of the Australian Federal Police and Defence, authorised by the ANSR Government.

    Core Objectives

    • Intelligence Collection & Analysis: The Secret Service will gather, analyse, and report intelligence on domestic and international threats, providing actionable insights for decision-making.

    • National Security Coordination: It will coordinate efforts across government departments to ensure a unified, rapid response to emerging threats.

    • Safeguarding National Interests: The Secret Service will protect national institutions, citizens, and borders, working proactively to identify and neutralise threats.

    This restructuring is to create a more effective, accountable, and streamlined intelligence organisation, better positioned to address global challenges in an efficient manner.

  • Reform state Sheriff's Offices, integrating them into Local Government Areas (LGAs) as the Republic’s legal representatives. Sheriffs will uphold the laws of the Republic at the local level, ensuring justice and addressing community needs.

    Sheriff's Role & Authority:

    • The Sheriff shall be an elected community member, independent of other government offices or employment (except ADF Reserves).

    • As the principal local authority, the Sheriff will uphold Common Law, safeguard the community, and address local concerns.

    • The Sheriff has the authority to conduct criminal investigations within their jurisdiction.

    Deputies & Law Enforcement Responsibilities:

    • Sheriff’s Deputies will serve as peace officers and first responders, maintaining public order and assisting in judicial procedures.

    • Deputies will not conduct formal criminal investigations, which remain the responsibility of the Sheriff or state police.

    The Sheriff’s Office as a Pillar of The Community:

    The Sheriff’s Office will serve as both a law enforcement agency and a symbol of local justice—deeply embedded in the community and acting as a direct link to the Republic’s legal system.
