The NSW Police Force has advised me:
- The COPS database is operational, not statistical, and is not configured
to provide an answer to this question.
- and (3) Standard Operating Procedures and training material give guidance
to NSW Police Force officers in relation to when it is appropriate for a
Criminal Infringement Notice to be issued. Police officers consider
the circumstances of each particular case and take into consideration a number
of factors, such as the individual's criminal record and the nature of the
offence.
