1. Executive Directors Foreword
The 2010-11 year has been a busy and fruitful period for the
Institute. The Executive Team continued its strong focus on
ensuring programs are delivered in the most cost effective
means possible without compromising content or delivery to
our jurisdictional partners. This has included the
establishment of a panel of providers for lecturing and other
services, including the provision of foodstuffs.
The rebuilding program at Collins Beach has been a major
element of focus for all the staff, as we prepare to transition to
the new facilities. Given the ‘once in a generation’ nature of
the redevelopment, it is vitally important that we ensure that
our learning spaces are contemporary, modern and provide an
excellent learning environment for our students.
The institute also continued to review and evaluate its core program content to ensure
quality and relevance and provide the best possible learning experience to program
participants. This is part of a broader evaluation of core programs which will include
longitudinal evaluation, analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, and a continuation of
the benchmarking process the AIPM has been undertaking in recent years.
Work on the report into the Review of the AIPM continued in earnest, with the Board of
Studies (BOS) tasked to examine the recommendations and prepare a response for the
consideration of the Board of Control (BOC). This process has included a number of
meetings and discussions including the use of a team of consultants from the ‘Nous Group’
to assist in the development of a 5 year Strategic Plan for the Institute. This was
unanimously endorsed by the BOC and provides a sound foundation for the Institute to
ensure it is strategically placed to meet the future leadership development needs of its key
stakeholders.
Lastly, our links with various tertiary partners and international law enforcement agencies
continued to flourish through the joint programming and delivery of the Regional
Executive Leadership Program (RELP), and the Leadership in Counter Terrorism program
(LinCT). These linkages have also assisted the development and delivery of our core
programs, with a number of officers from our international partners visiting the AIPM to
act as Visiting International Fellows (VIFs) on a range of domestic programs.
Mr Tom Rogers
Executive Director

2. About the AIPM

The purpose of the Australian Institute of Police Management (AIPM) is
to provide executive development programs for senior officers of the
police services and public safety industry in Australia and New
Zealand.

The Institute was established over 50 years ago and is a National
Common Police Service (NCPS) administered by the Australian Federal
Police (AFP). It reports to a Board of Control (BOC) that is comprised
of all the Police Commissioners of Australia and New Zealand. The
BOC is supported by a Board of Studies (BOS) which provides advice to
the BOC and AIPM directly, on all curriculum matters at the AIPM.

The Institute is located at Collins Beach on North Head in Manly. The
AFP is currently managing the redevelopment of the Collins Beach
facility with a view to delivering an enhanced national police
education centre whilst preserving significant environmental and
heritage principles at the site. As a result of the redevelopment
works, the Institute is temporarily based at the former School of
Artillery on North Head.

The Institute’s premises are shared with Charles Sturt University
(CSU). This is part of an affiliation agreement with the Institute in
1992, resulting in the establishment of the Australian Graduate School
of Policing (AGSP). The AGSP offers a diverse and wide range of
postgraduate courses in policing.


Since 1960, more than 6,000 police have attended AIPM courses,
including over 3,000 commissioned officers. Apart from Australia and
New Zealand, course members have come from the United States, the
United Kingdom, the Pacific, South-East Asia, Europe, Africa and the
Middle East.

The Institute offers a Graduate Certificate in Applied Management
(Police and Emergency Services) and a Graduate Diploma in Executive
Leadership (Police and Emergency Services). Both are offered as
distance programs with course participants also being required to
complete a residential component for each program.

The Institute’s core programs are accredited under the NSW Higher
Education Act.

The Institute employs approximately 30 staff including senior officers
who are seconded to the Institute as Visiting Fellows for 1-2 years
from the police jurisdictions and emergency services. Staff are
employed under the Australian Federal Police Act 1979.

Our faculty team is complemented by short term visiting fellows who
are senior officers from national and international law enforcement
agencies (including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National
Policing Improvement Agency in the UK, Scottish Police College, Royal
Canadian Mounted Police and Hong Kong Police). The Institute also
involve senior executives from both the public and corporate sector as
presenters in our programs.

The Institute receives $1.95m in annual funding from the
Commonwealth and Australasian policing jurisdictions. The remainder
of the Institute’s operating revenue is supplemented by course fees,
hospitality activities and international projects.

3. History of the AIPM
The Collins Flat site was originally part of the Quarantine Station on North
Head. It was built as Crews’ quarters, established in accordance with
ships’ policies of keeping the crew well segregated from passengers, and in
the lower levels of the ship.
Based on this structure it was logical to build quarters along the waterfront
beside Spring Cove and near Collins Beach. Supplies could be unloaded for
the crew at the original dock in Spring Cove.
As the need for Crews’ quarters diminished, the buildings were utilised in
other ways, such as housing for migrants with no other accommodation.
The buildings were placed under the administration of the Commonwealth
Department of Health in 1925. During World War II the site and buildings
were used as a hospital by the Australian Department of Defence, and for a
time many local residents referred to the site as the ‘Old Seaman’s’
Hospital’.
In 1957, the buildings were designated by the Commonwealth Government
for the purpose of establishing an Australian Police College for executive
training of Commonwealth police officers.
The Commonwealth Solicitor General, the late Sir Kenneth Bailey, C.B.E.,
officially opened the Australian Police College on 25 October 1960.
Between 1960 and the late 1970’s, the College undertook a range of courses
reflecting its joint Commonwealth in-house and national executive training roles.
The Australian Police College became the Australian Police Staff College by
resolution of the Board of Control on 5 December 1986 and in 1995 was renamed
the Australian Institute of Police Management by the Minister for Justice, The
Honourable Duncan Kerr, M.P.

5. Our Team & Structure
5.1
AIPM Staff
The 2010/2011 year saw a number of departures from the AIPM team. The AIPM
farewelled Mrs Sophia Kirk, who joined the Corporate Services area in 2005 and
will now be based with the AFP International Deployment Group in the Solomon
Islands. Ms Alana North of the Education Resources Team resigned in December
2010 to return to England and also Ms Jo Litchfield of the Education Resources
Team, who left the AIPM in May 2011.
Two other long standing employees of the Institute left in 2011. Superintendent
Ingrid Tomanovits - Deputy Director of Award Programs, accepted a new role at
the AFP Barton College in Canberra in January 2011. Ingrid joined the AIPM in
2007 and was an integral part of the Institute’s faculty team and the executive.
Ms Rebecca Hughes, who worked in various positions throughout the organisation
during her 9 year tenure, resigned from the Institute to take a new role with the
Maritime Services Authority. We wish both Ingrid and Rebecca every success in
their future careers.
The Institute welcomed Dr Vicki Herrington to Academic Programs, Ms Eke
Woldring to Library Services, Ms Rochelle Ward to Corporate Services, Mr Andrew
Singh to Faculty Administration and also Federal Agent Peter Watts and Mr David
Walton to the International Programs team. Two staff from the AFP, Ms Shelley
Komorowski and Mrs Liz McDonald, are temporarily based at the Institute to assist
with the final stages of the redevelopment project at Collins Beach.
5.2
Annual Visiting Fellows
Each year, the Institute’s faculty team is supplemented by seconded PVFs for a
twelve month period. The Fellows are drawn from all of the Australasian police
jurisdictions (on a rotational basis) and provide significant support for the
Institute, through their involvement in domestic and international programs.
In 2010, Assistant Commissioner Peter Gallagher (NSW), Superintendent Katrina
Povolny (AFP), Commander David Sprague (VIC), and Superintendent Steve Munro
(QLD) completed their terms of fellowship at the AIPM and returned to their home
jurisdictions. Each of these visiting fellows made a significant contribution to the
overall aims and objectives of the AIPM, and were excellent ambassadors for their
organisations.
In 2011 the Institute welcomed Superintendent Brett Henderson (NSW Police) who
joined the team in late 2010 replacing Assistant Commissioner Gallagher;
Superintendent Terry Venchiarutti (AFP), and Inspector Eoghan McDonald (VIC).
In 2010/2011 the AFAC VF position was not filled, and the Institute would like to
acknowledge the invaluable assistance of the NSW Fire Brigade for its support and
assistance in the planning and delivery of AFAC programs.

Visiting International Fellows (VIF’s)
The success of the Institute’s VIF program continued in 2010/2011, despite the
continuing impact of the world financial crisis on many of our partner agencies.
The VIF’s bring a rich diversity and international perspective to the Institute’s
programs, and are involved in all aspects of the Institute’s residential programs in
their capacity as either a program mentor or syndicate leader.

exchanges to the Scottish Police College and the FBI Academy. In addition, at the
invitation of the Hong Kong ICAC, Mr Jones delivered the Senior Investigators
Command Course from 15-17 June 2011. Whilst in Hong Kong he also met with the
Director of the Police Force Academy and senior academic staff.
5.5
2010 Vietnamese Visiting Fellow
The Institute hosted its first Vietnamese VF. Dr Anh Tuan Do of the Vietnamese
Ministry of Public Security joined our faculty team from September to November
2010, as part of a 3 month scholarship sponsored by the Australian Government
Endeavour Award and arranged through the AFP Hanoi Office.
The scholarship enabled Dr Do to participate in all facets of the Institute’s
teaching operations, including participation in the Intelligence Management
Development Program with senior intelligence officers from around Australia and
abroad. During his stay, Dr Do also visited the AFP College in Canberra, NSW
Police, and toured the NT Police Academy to learn about remote community
policing.
Preparations are underway for the AIPM to receive a second Vietnamese VF in the
second part of 2011.

5.6
Adjunct Lecturers
A major contributing factor to the outstanding quality of AIPM programs is the
involvement of adjunct lecturers who are drawn from the corporate sector and the
broader tertiary sector. These lecturers are highly experienced senior executives
who are renowned in their industry for their competence and engaging classroom
presentation style. Course participant feedback on this aspect of AIPM programs
continues to be very positive, and participant’s value the exposure to practices
adopted in the private sector.
5.7
External Engagements – Executive Team
In addition to the delivery of AIPM programs, senior staff accepted a range of
invitations as speakers/lecturers and workshop facilitators on behalf of the AIPM.

6. Academic Programs
During the reporting period, the pace of program delivery remained high, with the
Academic Programs team delivering 4 Police Management Development Programs (PMDPs),
2 Executive Development Programs (EDP), the 2010 Police Executive Leadership Program
(PELP) and the 2011 Executive Leadership Program (ELP).
In addition, the Institute also delivered the 2010 Intelligence Management Development
Program (IMDP), Modules 2 and 3 of Acacia Assistant Commissioner’s Program, the
Leadership in Counter Terrorism (LinCT) program, 2 Iraqi Leadership Development
Programs (ILDP), 3 Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) programs and a series of
specially tailored leadership programs for police officers in Micronesia and Vanuatu.
Recognition and demand for our expertise in the international programs arena continued,
with ongoing planning work undertaken on leadership program commitments for China and
Samoa, as well as collaborative program initiatives with CSU.
In addition to program delivery, staff have worked tirelessly on the continued facilitation
of the APF, provided facilitation support and leadership development expertise to various
workshops and conferences, and developed an innovative leadership seminar service for
its alumni. The first seminar of the series was a 1 day leadership workshop with world
renowned academic Mr Keith Fitzgerald, which was held at the AIPM on 4 April 2011. Mr
Fitzgerald has an outstanding international reputation in crisis leadership and negotiation
based on his work at the Harvard Law School and Kennedy School of Government.
In 2011 the Academic Programs area refreshed its staffing structure and titles to better
reflect reporting lines and managerial responsibilities. An important part of the structural
change will be the inclusion of an Academic Quality Officer function, focusing on
adherence to accreditation guidelines to ensure high level quality processes at the AIPM.
This is part of a broader internal review of the AIPM which will commence in earnest in
the latter part of the year.

6.1
AIPM Graduate Programs
The Institute offers two core graduate programs annually: the Graduate Diploma of
Executive Leadership (Police and Emergency Services) and the Graduate Certificate in
Applied Management (Police and Emergency Services). The Graduate Diploma includes a
two week residential component known as the PELP. In the AFAC programs, this is
referred to as the ELP. Both programs are targeted at senior police and public safety
officers, ideally at the rank of Superintendent and above.
The Graduate Certificate includes a three week residential component, known as the
PMDP. In the AFAC fire and emergency services programs, this is referred to as the EDP.
The Certificate program is targeted at middle ranking public safety staff and police
officers from the rank of Inspector and above.
A schematic overview of the two programs is provided below.

Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma Review
The Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma Programs remain the AIPM’s ‘core
business, and collectively are the most important focus of our work throughout the
academic year. As could be expected, these programs constitute the main body of work
for staff and receive the majority of attention in terms of development, innovation,
evaluation and delivery each year.
“I particularly enjoyed the last couple of days which tended to draw all of the strings
together and prepared the students for the realities associated with implementing their
new found knowledge.“
“I have learnt so much over the last few weeks which has provided me with the
motivation and confidence that I have been lacking recently at work, more importantly I
feel that it has really helped me mature as an individual, giving me a clearer focus on
where I want to be and that I need to do things for me from now on rather than doing
things to please other people.”
In early 2009, the Institute commenced a substantial review of the Graduate Certificate
Program. Staged implementation of the amended program occurred throughout 2010-11
resulting in 82% of program content now being updated to better reflect the more
contemporary and increasingly complex needs of police and emergency services leaders.
Modifications to AIPM programs are vetted by the CRC which is a sub-committee of the
BOS. The purpose of this committee is to oversight the development of AIPM award
programs by supporting the BOS in its role of setting standards and direction for the
delivery of programs provided to the jurisdictions by the AIPM.
In terms of participant feedback, the most intensely ‘rich’ feedback continues to come
from student comments: most noticeably from the student reflective journals. The
Institute will continue to keep developing the concept of the reflective journals and the
reflective process more generally, as a way of further enriching the learning experience of
our participants.

Telstra Australasian Police Scholarship
The inaugural 2010 Telstra Scholarship was awarded to Superintendent Mick Willing, NSW
Police, at a breakfast function on 27 October 2010. Guests attending the ceremony
included Commissioner Andrew Scipione and Deputy Commissioner Dave Owens, Mr
Andrew Wood – AFP, The Hon Chris Pearce and Mr Alex Stefan representing Telstra.
Superintendent Willing used the scholarship to travel to the USA in June 2010, to attend
the High Potentials Leadership Program at the Harvard Business School. The scholarship
met airfare, accommodation/meals, and tuition costs.

6.4
Australasian Policing Forum (APF)
The APF first met in 2009, bringing together leading police practitioners, scholars and
selected individuals with key industry expertise. Through discussion and writing, forum
members examined a number of the key challenges facing policing with a view to
generating fresh ideas and innovative responses to these problems.
The scope of work for the APF as agreed by the Australasian Police Commissioners was:
“The AIPM and CEPS Australasian Policing Forum will focus on policing, including serious
crime, national security and safety issues in Australasia”. The forum met on three
occasions in 2010 to progress their examination of the key issues. The last meeting of the
forum was convened in March 2011, with members agreeing to finalise papers and the
process for disseminating its findings.
6.5
Programs conducted by the AIPM on behalf of the AFP
The AIPM developed and delivered a number of domestic and international multi-agency
professional development programs on behalf of the AFP.

6.5.1 Leadership in Counter-Terrorism (LinCT)
The ongoing involvement of the AIPM in the LinCT program is a prestigious
acknowledgement of the Institute’s international reputation for excellence. A four week
course is held each year, alternately in the Pacific and Atlantic regions, and is delivered
by the AIPM and AFP in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the last
reporting period, AIPM LinCT Program Managers attended the Atlantic Cycle which was
held in Seattle and Harvard in November 2010. The Pacific Cycle was delivered by the
AIPM in Canberra and Sydney in March/April 2011.
The LinCT program continues to provide a unique opportunity for leaders within the
Australasian counter terrorism community to develop their knowledge and skills, share
their experiences, as well as build and maintain networks across agencies, jurisdictions
and contents. During the Pacific program, delegates focus on the three major themes of
leadership, intelligence, and counter-terrorism. These themes are explored across a range
of levels from foundational to higher level strategic applications.
The program is managed by an international Board of Governors, with Mr Tom Rogers
representing the interests of the AIPM. The annual meeting of the Governors was hosted
by the AIPM in 2011.

6.5.2 2010 Intelligence Managers Development Program (IMDP)
The first IMDP was delivered by the AIPM in 2006 at the request of the AFP, as part of a
broader 5 year commitment through to 2010. The IMDP is multi agency in its focus,
drawing on officers from the police, public safety and law enforcement sector, as well as
officers from integrated intelligence units in Australia and overseas agencies. The purpose
of the program is to develop strategic thinking, conceptual, and analytical skills, with
course participants gaining a sound knowledge of management, public policy, and public
administration within a highly contextualised criminal intelligence framework.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 20
The program is similar in format to the Graduate Certificate in Applied Management and
includes a three week residential component at the AIPM. The final IMDP was delivered at
the AIPM on 5-22 October 2010.
6.5.3 Regional Executive Leadership Program (RELP)
The RELP is designed to develop a network of senior police leaders within the ASEAN
region to cooperatively and collaboratively address regional law enforcement challenges
specifically in the area of counter terrorism and transnational crime. The program is a
joint development partnership between the Indonesia National Police (INP), Jakarta
Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation (JCLEC), the National Policing Improvement
Agency, Bramshill (NPIA), AFP, AIPM, and CSU.
RELP 2010 was delivered at JCLEC in Semarang from 14 June to 8 July 2010. A record
number of 31 participants representing 15 countries attended. This included all the ASEAN
countries (with the exception of Mayanmar) along with Australia, the United Kingdom,
China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Pakistan.
Following revision of the 2009 program, a number of changes were implemented which
significantly contributed to the overall success of RELP 2010 such as reducing the
academic load, broadening the subject material to incorporate other forms of
transnational crime, increasing the number of group problem solving and team building
activities, and including additional operational case studies in the program. Greater
attention on cross cultural understanding and effective group work in the early days of the
program also assisted in creating a very constructive group dynamic, which helped create
an effective learning environment.
Feedback from participants during and after the program was overwhelmingly positive.
Participants are eligible to apply for one subject’s credit towards a Graduate Certificate in
Terrorism and Security at CSU and 4 participants have subsequently applied for
scholarships for further study with CSU. The RELP 2010 closing ceremony coincided with a
visit to JCLEC by a delegation from the Senate Legal and Constitutional Committee. The
program was honoured to have them attend and see first hand the positive contribution of
JCLEC and the program to the region.

6.5.4 Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF)
A review of the program was undertaken in 2010. As a result of the review, the Institute
has been re-engaged by the AFP, and will continue to deliver leadership development
programs in the region.
As part of the Institute’s commitment to deliver the program in country, a Program
Manager position was established and filled by the Institute in October 2010. The position
is based in Honiara with administrative and faculty support provided by the Institute as
required. The position is responsible for delivery of programs as well as providing support
and advice to the Police Training and Advisory Committee (POLTAC), to assist with the
selection of personnel to attend courses.
In 2010/2011 the Institute delivered four programs:1 8 – 22 October 2010 POLTAC meeting,
7 – 24 March 2011 Level 3, 28 April – 19 May 2011 Level 4 and 14 – 29 July 2011 Level 5.

6.5.5 Iraqi Police Service Leadership Development Program (IPSLDP)
The IPSLDP was established in 2009 at the invitation of the AFP and is part of a broader
Australian Government initiative to support capacity development within the Iraqi Police
Service (IPS). The program is designed to challenge senior IPS officers to reflect on their
personal leadership style and invite them to openly debate key executive leadership
approaches in a variety of challenging environments and circumstances. The program
introduces participants to a number of executive level management skills which will
provide them with tools to assist them in future executive roles.
The fourth program was successfully delivered in November 2010 at the School of Artillery
campus in Manly. The rank level of the contingent was the most senior to date, with the
course participants being highly capable and experienced officers at the rank of Brigadier
or Major General.

New Programs & Programs in Development
6.6.1 Acacia Leadership Program
The Acacia Program is the Institute’s premier program and is specifically designed to
challenge senior officers at the rank of Assistant Commissioner or equivalent. The
program is named partly in honour of Australia’s national floral emblem and also because
the acacia flower is well known for its resilience and ability to flourish under trying
conditions.
A total of 20 course participants were hand selected by their CEO’s to attend the program.
All of the police jurisdictions of Australasia were represented as well as senior executives
from Commonwealth and international policing agencies. Module 2 and 3 were delivered
in September and October 2010. The program focussed on the three strands of executive
self leadership, strategy and social context, and organisational effectiveness, drawing on a
mix of personal reflection, presentations, syndicate work, and site visits. Highlights of the
modules included operational case studies, a two day workshop with scholar Malcolm
Sparrow from the Harvard School of Government, and a master class facilitated by
Professor Peter Thompson of ANZSOG.
The program is under evaluation and will be offered again in 2012.

6.6.2 Pacific Police Development Program (PPDP)
In 2009 the AFP International Deployment Group through its Pacific Police Development
Program (PPDP) invited the AIPM to assist in the delivery of a pilot leadership program in
Micronesia. The program is focussed around a range of activities to expose police officers
to various leadership models, critical thinking skills, change management and practical
workplace leadership and management tools.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 23
The second program was conducted in Pohnpei over the period 9-26 July 2010, which was
a two week program comprising a number of leadership and management sessions. The
course participants were drawn from the state police forces across Micronesia and
included representatives from Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall
Islands.
Additionally, under the broader PPDP purview, the Institute has deployed teams to engage
with both the Vanuatu and Samoan Police Services. The AIPM has facilitated a series of
diagnostic workshops designed to engage with the police agencies and their key
stakeholders and assist them in identifying their key leadership challenges. The findings
from the workshops will also inform the curriculum of any subsequent leadership program
approved under the PPDP.
6.6.3 Ministry of Public Security Executive Leadership Program (MPS)
In 2010, the AIPM delivered, in collaboration with the AFP, the Australian Leadership
Awards (ALA) Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Executive Leadership Program which was
funded through AusAID. Attending the program were 15 senior officials and professionals
at the rank of Superintendent from different regional locations throughout China.
The overarching theme of the program was 'Sharing International Insights in Police
Leadership and Transnational Crime'. The participants explored subjects such as
leadership, management, contemporary issues confronting policing, transnational crime,
and counter-terrorism. The program also included several opportunities to examine
Australian technical and tactical police capabilities.
The program was very successful, providing important opportunities for the group to
collaborate on projects together, as well as establish broader relationships within
Australasian policing. Feedback from participants was both positive and constructive and
the program will be delivered again in late 2011.
“the studies and visit program enabled me to gain an understanding of the
importance of countries cooperating to fight transnational crime. It also
enabled me to gain an understanding of the theory relating to leadership
from a new perspective. The course assisted in broadening my knowledge
and perception of these aspects”.

AIPM Course Participants
Course participants are drawn from every law enforcement jurisdiction in Australia and
New Zealand. Our multi-agency programs are supported by all of the major fire services
in Australia and New Zealand and attract course participants from related law
enforcement and emergency services agencies.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 24
A unique part of the success factor of our programs is the participation of international
students. These course participants bring a rich and diverse international perspective to
our programs and, importantly, strengthen links between Australian and international law
enforcement and emergency services agencies.
AIPM programs delivered in Australia in 2010/2011 attracted 29 international course
participants from the following agencies:
Cambodia Police (1), Cook Islands Police (1), Fiji Police (1), Hong Kong Fire Services
Department (1), Hong Kong ICAC (3), Hong Kong Police Force (7), Netherlands Police (1),
Ottawa Police (1), Papua New Guinea Police (1), Royal Solomon Islands Fire Service (1),

AIPM Library
AIPM Library staff work in partnership with AIPM Academic staff and students to ensure
that programs are well resourced with the information required by participants to
complete their course. This is achieved where possible by proactively preparing tailored
information to meet anticipated needs, rather than waiting until the information is
requested.
The Library has been actively involved in a number of varied activities over the past
twelve months, in addition to providing the information support required by students and
academic staff for the ever growing number of programs now delivered by the AIPM.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 26
January 2011 saw the launch of the new library blog ‘Know It Now’, available at
http://libraryblog.aipm.gov.au, as a means of keeping AIPM staff and Alumni up-to-date
with newly published resources available from the AIPM.
A new database was also introduced in February this year to monitor library use and
assistance provided to library clientele. 415 inquiries have been addressed by library staff
since the introduction of the database. Of these: 65.1% were reference inquiries; 16.6%
were for technical assistance using the library; and 18.3% were other inquiries. 66.5% of
all inquiries were from course participants; 19.3% from AIPM personnel; 14.2% other.
During the last calendar year 1,700 books, journal articles and videos were added to the
library collection.

AIPM Library ALIES Catalyst Award
The Library was presented with the 2011 ALIES Information Catalyst Award at the ALIES
Conference’s Awards Gala Dinner on 19th April 2011. The award is given to a library within
the ALIES (Australian Libraries in the Emergency Sector) network in recognition for
innovation in the provision of information services to its own organisation and the broader
Emergency Management Sector.

7. Corporate Services
7.1
Leasing of Facilities – Former School of Artillery
The AIPM continued to lease facilities at the former School of Artillery during 2010/2011.
Construction work commenced at the Collins Flat site in 2010, however due to rain and
other unforeseen issues, the construction works are not expected to be completed until
mid to late 2011.
With the agreement of the landlord (Sydney Harbour Federation Trust), the AIPM will
continue to lease a number of buildings at the site pending completion of the works at
Collins Flat.
7.2
AIPM Redevelopment Project – Collins Beach
The AFP is managing the redevelopment project at the Institute, to provide an enhanced
training facility, maintain and ensure the productive use of heritage buildings, and
preserve the habitat for resident populations of wildlife.
The redevelopment project timetable has been affected by the identification and
remediation of contamination found on site and inclement weather. However, AIPM staff
are expected to begin relocating to the facility in September 2011 following the
completion of fit-out works.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 28
7.3
Information Services and IT Infrastructure
The Institute purchased a new file server to replace the existing server, which had
reached the end of its lease. The new server provides more disk storage for both students
and staff and will host the AIPM’s new Learning Management System (Moodle). The server
is configured as a VMWare server, which allows flexibility to add future additional services
as required.
The AIPM has commenced work on transitioning to the Moodle Learning Management
System, which is currently used in 210 countries and utilised by a number of large
Australian and New Zealand universities. An engineer has been contracted to assist with
the design and implementation process.
The Institute also installed a new blogging and publishing system called Wordpress. The
software allows staff to publish content to websites easily. A library blog has been
developed and is accessible via the Institute’s internet site.
A significant portion of the year was spent examining the broad issue of technology usage
in delivering learning outcomes. Technology is an enabler rather than a determinant of
successful learning, but it is nonetheless important to ensure that students are being
supported through their learning experience by the appropriate use of modern technology.
Accordingly, the AIPM has commenced a trial of E-readers in the Graduate Certificate
program as part of the distance education resource component. E-readers have the
benefit of storing thousands of books and articles on the one device. Under the trial, Ereaders are lent to students whilst they work through their distance subjects. The device
is returned on arrival for the residential component of the course.
In future, the AIPM is considering providing a tablet device to students that can display
more content such as power point presentations and video during the residential. The
trial of the E-reader will provide students with a range of electronic options for accessing
their course readings in addition to the current suite of online resources presently
available.
7.4
Hospitality – Non Teaching Programs
The AIPM continued to provide a high level in-house hospitality service to its non-teaching
programs. This hospitality is restricted to police jurisdictions and related agencies in the
emergency services sector as well as CSU. Catering & conference facilities are provided
for workshops, seminars and short courses, as well as information briefings for visitors and
international delegations.
7.5
Delegations and Visitors to the AIPM
Each year the Institute receives a number of visitors and law enforcement related
delegations. In 2010-11 the Institute was delighted to receive the following visitors:

AIPM Legal Status and Review
The legal status of the AIPM was a focus of the AIPM Review. This recommended that the
existing position be carried forward, with the AIPM remaining an “unincorporated
association” with administrative support provided by an existing police jurisdiction.
A Memorandum of Understanding has been drafted to formalise governance arrangements
between the AIPM and the jurisdictions. Consideration of this document is occurring as
part of the broader AIPM Review process. The AIPM 5yr Strategic Plan was endorsed by
the BOC and underpins the AIPM’s key governance arrangements.
7.7
Environment
The Institute’s corporate commitment to reducing waste and improving resource
management practices continued in 2010/2011. The Institute now has a number of
standard recycling practices in place to divert resources from landfill. These include
recycling of photocopy paper, toner cartridges and ink waste in the administration area as
well as sorting of recyclable materials in the kitchen.
The AIPM has continued to identify areas of practice that can be managed electronically to
reduce the consumption of paper products. This included continued use of USB sticks for
transmittal of student assignments and course information and a trial of e-readers for
distance education. The Institute is planning to trial the introduction of i-pads for course
work during residential programs.
The intranet continuous to be a focus of upgrading and improvement and a wide range of
corporate information including policies and forms is now available. The Institute is
currently reviewing its internet site functionality with a view to attain similar efficiencies
for external users and students.
A new focus for the AIPM is the phasing out of disposable paper cups. A range of ceramic
and stainless steel mugs have been installed in the main classroom kitchenette for use by
course members and the Institute will monitor the trial usage of the mugs with a view to
full implementation in 2011/2012.
2010-11 AIPM Annual Report – Page 30
7.8
Occupational Health & Safety
The AIPM complies with all OH&S requirements as specified by Comcare.
OH&S is managed via a two tiered system at the AIPM. The day to day administration of
OH&S including reporting of incidents is managed locally at the AIPM. However the overall
management, compliance, and reporting of OH&S occurs through the AFP Sydney Region
Office. A full report on Health and Safety Management Arrangements (HSMA’s) can be
found in the AFP Annual Report.
8. Governance
The Institute is a National Common Police Service (NCPS) administered by the AFP and
reports to a BOC on all aspects of its core business and operations. The BOC is supported
by a BOS which provides advice to the BOC and AIPM directly on all curriculum matters at
the AIPM. This includes establishing academic directions, curriculum, course planning,
and course evaluation.
The Institute is managed by an Executive Director who reports directly to the
Commissioner of the AFP on all BOC matters, and the National Manager HR on all other
administrative matters related to the administration of the AIPM.
The AIPM operates within the corporate governance framework of the AFP and its policies
apply in all aspects of the AIPM’s corporate services functions. This includes human
resource management, financial management, purchasing and procurement, contract
management, assets management, capital development, occupational health, and safety,
equity and diversity.
