(1) FESA and WA Police are developing a standard form to assist in promulgating the directions of an Authorised Person to Police. This will ensure Police are aware of the precise request they are being asked to enforce or advise the public of and under what legislative authority the request is being made.
(2) The use of the proposed form will provide police with details of the controlling agencies requirements for the control and movement of people during an incident to ensure they have a clear understanding of the request requirements and under what legislative authority they are performing these tasks.
