Cevap
The primary role of the police is to investigate the matter and collect evidence to be presented in a court.
In the Australian justice system, the police act as an enforcement body. Their role is to investigate suspected crimes and gather evidence. If there is enough evidence, they bring the matter before a court, where a judge or jury will then decide the outcome based on the law.
