AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

POLICE ORDINANCE 1964

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 2 of 1964

	Section 13 (1) (a) of the Police Ordinance 1927-1960 makes it an offence for a person to personate or pass himself off as a member of the Australian Capital Territory Police Force or to wear or display a uniform or badge which so resembles the uniform or badge of a member of the Australian Capital Territory Police Force as to be likely to deceive.

	The draft Ordinance in Clause 2 creates an offence similar to that above in relation to the Police Force of a State or Territory other than the Australian Capital Territory.
