Good morning everyone, hope all are having a good day or night whatever it is where you are as you read this, well it is Monday so a day for some fact and yeah still doing Aussie facts.
The backbone of the NSW Police Force are the Police Area Commands (PACs) and Police Districts (PDs), your local police. Here, most officers work as general duties police, detectives, highway patrol officers and in traffic services. They provide a comprehensive, professional community-based policing service.
Assisting our PACs and PDs are units with specialist roles such as road safety, fingerprinting, rescue, water police, air wing, intelligence analysis, anti terrorist and hostage negotiation, drug enforcement, child protection, fraud and major crime investigation.
Our cops are employed by the three levels of government, Feds, State and Local. The Feds are the Australian Federal Police aka....the AFP. They deal with federal or Commonwealth law and is controlled by the Federal Government.
Generally the cops we see are the local cops, such as general duties officers, detectives and of course the highway patrol and traffic cops.
There are 432 Police Stations in NSW and 1 Airbase with around 19,516 employees of which 15,633 are cop the rest are civilian staff.
Your setup sounds a bit complicated... but I'll bet studying ours would show the same.

There are many divisions these days Jo-Anne, compared to the past as in way back when my Dad was a Policeman.
