Alexander Maconochie Centre—governance
Mr CORBELL (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Smyth on Thursday, 23 June 2011): The SRS (AFP’s Specialist Response & Security Tactical Response Group) has never been asked to respond to such requests from the AMC, nor has any such group external to ACT Corrective Services.
Custodial Officers at the AMC are provided with training in the handling of various types of incidents in custodial settings, including riot control, as part of their standard training.
To date custodial officers have undertaken cell searches, cell extractions using force and other detainee management activities required at the AMC.

Officers from TAMS also met recently with the developer’s consultant and a representative from the Illawarra Retirement Trust to discuss issues of concern in relation to the maintenance of the land around the retirement complex - agreement has now been reached on areas of responsibility.
