 New South Wales Police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New South Wales Police (also NSW Police or NSWPOL) is the primary law enforcement agency in the State of New South Wales, Australia.
The NSW Police in its current form was established in 1862 with the passing of the Police Regulation Act and drew upon members of the Royal Irish Constablary.
Therefore, state police forces—the NSW Police included—are much more powerful and ubiquitous than equivalent state or provincial police forces in other federal nations such as the United States or Canada, where the total law enforcement task is more evenly shared among three or four tiers of government.
