Series note |
The series comprises files relating to the investigation of all criminal offences committed against the Commonwealth, the
contravention of Commonwealth Acts or of State Acts committed on Commonwealth property; the pursuit of recalcitrant debtors to the Commonwealth; and inquiry into the whereabouts of persons requested to be traced by government departments, organisations such as the Red Cross, International Tracing Service, Australia House, private persons or by diplomatic or consular representation.
Investigations carried out at the request of government departments include areas such as narcotics trafficking, impersonation, bribery, "forge and utter", ships' deserters, enemy aliens in wartime, prohibited immigrants, naturalisation, and rape on Commonwealth property. In most instances a separate file was raised for each particular case requested to be investigated.
In June 1962 a separate series was created for debtor files and in January of 1963 the single number series was superseded by an annual single number series (B743) dealing with the investigation of criminal offences against the Commonwealth and of persons' whereabouts and all related policy issues.
Previous accession system transfers:
