OST ran for approximately three months, from 11 August 2000 to mid November 2000. Its brief was:  \n• To reduce anti-social and criminal behaviour on trains.  \n• For police officers to mentor special constables about how to deal with criminal and anti-social behaviour.  \n1.2 In the view of this Office, there is no definitive way of measuring whether OST met its anti-social and crime-reducing objective. This is because OST operated in what might be described as an audit vacuum:  \n• It operated on a system of trust instead of accountability.  \n• Its records were insufficient to determine what its officers did or where they were on a day-to-day basis.  \n• In the main, statistics compiled during the operation amounted to little more than informed guesswork.  \n• Its records were not subjected to the usual Business Area Management Review (\"BAMR\") audit process at any time.  \n1.3 In our view OST did not meet its mentoring objective either. Notwithstanding that mentoring special constables was both a primary objective of OST and the factor that differentiated it from the single agency Metropolitan Taskforce that preceded it, it would appear that no substantive effort was ever made to achieve this objective.  \n1.4 OST attracted a number of complaints that suggested it adopted overly aggressive policing tactics. Videotape evidence in relation to one of the complaints captured what appeared to be acts of serious misconduct in the presence of the OST supervisor, without his intervention.  \n1.5 Six complaints gave rise to this investigation. In relation to them:  \n• Seven charges preferred by OST were withdrawn.  \n• Six charges were dismissed.  \n• Over $20,000 costs were awarded against police.  \n• One man was subjected to force, handcuffed and then released without charge - OST records incorrectly indicated that he was charged.  \n1.6 The lack of accountable records maintained by OST means that it is not now possible to determine whether the approach highlighted by these complaints typified OST's tactics or whether these particular matters were aberrations.  \n1.7 I have made four recommendations to deal with the problems highlighted by OST:  \n1. I recommend that the Commissioner of Police review the BAMR system, focussing on:  \n• Standardisation of record keeping.  \n• Auditability of records.  \n• Identification of accountability risks and failures.  \nThe review should proceed wi","cbCaieKv4euEzsjy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieKv4euEzsjy","pdf",539102,145,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Introduction\n## Historical context\n## Why we are involved\n## What the Ombudsman is required to do\n## Our investigation\n## The objectives of OST\n## Accountability\n## Management of OST\n## Intelligence\n## Did OST meet its objectives?\n## Recommendations\n# Appendix A-Chronology of Investigation\n# Appendix B-Timeline\n# Appendix C-OST Objectives\n# Appendix D-Training and Mentoring\n# Appendix E-Accountable Record Keeping\n# Appendix F-Intelligence Gathering\n# Appendix G – Success of OST\n# Appendix H-Submission by the Commissioner of Police\n# Appendix I-Submission by Assistant Commissioner D\n# Appendix J-Submission by Sergeant A\n# Appendix K-Submission by Inspector H\n# Appendix L-Submission by Inspector K\n# Appendix M-Submission by Superintendent E","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose and duration of Operation Safe Trains (OST)?\",\"answer\":\"OST was formed as a joint taskforce to reduce anti-social and criminal behaviour on trains and to mentor WAGR special constables.
