Police officers in NSW will be barred from using encrypted messaging apps and social media on work-issued devices due to security software that restricts such access.
Nearly 17,000 NSW police officers have been ordered to remove communication apps from their work-issued phones following an investigation into a police cover-up.
The law enforcement conduct commission urged NSW police to reconsider the automatic deletion of electronic messages, highlighting concerns about record-keeping policies.
Following the investigation, NSW police's commissioner referred concerns regarding the use of encrypted messaging services to the public affairs branch for further guidance.
