NRS-23191 | Charge books [Jugiong Police Station]

Police Rules of 1862 introduced the obligation to keep Charge books to record charges against prisoners, the nature of the charges, the names of those charged as well as any prisoner's property. (1)This series consists of Charge books from the Jugiong Police Station.Details pertaining to the charge itself included: the charge number; the date and hour of both the apprehension and the recording of the charge in the Charge book; personal details of the person being charged including name, address, date and place of birth, height, calling/occupation, and nationality; a short summary of the nature of the offence; the full name and address of the informant (usually the constable); any property found on the prisoner and the prisoner's property book reference number; signatures of the watch house keeper / Station Sergeant and the searching Constable; name of apprehending officer; signature of prosecutor; if the prisoner was bailed (date and hour, by whose order, amount of cash or surety, and bail form receipt number); if not bailed, the date and time of discharge from cells; how the case was disposed of including date and name of magistrate; and any remarks (usually details of discharge or if sent to another prison).In general entries became less detailed over time but the format of the entries and the type of information collected remained similar.From around 1950 annual single numbers began to be used for entries relating to charges though the year may have been recorded either before or after the single number (eg. 42/ 1, 2/54 or 87/3). From around the 1980s charge books for each police station were given volume numbers from '1' onwards, in chronological order.Hardcopy charge books were gradually replaced by online systems between approximately 1990 and 1994. The COPS system (Computerised Operational Policing System) was introduced in 1994, preceded by the Online Charging records system (1990-1995), an interim system used as a back-up for the implementation of COPS.Endnote1.

1862年《警务规则》规定，警方有义务留存控告记录簿，用以记录针对囚犯的指控、指控性质、被指控者姓名及囚犯财产情况。
（1）本系列包含朱永警察局的控告记录簿。
与控告相关的详情包括：控告编号；逮捕时间及控告记录簿中记录指控的日期与时刻；被指控者的个人信息（含姓名、住址、出生日期及地点、身高、职业及国籍）；罪行性质简述；举报人的全名及住址（通常为警员）；囚犯身上查获的财产及囚犯财产簿参考编号；看守所长/警署警长及搜查警员的签名；逮捕官员姓名；检察官签名；若囚犯获保释，则需记录保释日期与时刻、批准人、现金金额或担保人信息及保释表单收据编号；若未保释，则记录出狱日期与时刻；案件处理结果（含治安法官姓名及日期）；以及任何备注（通常为释放详情或是否移送其他监狱）。
总体而言，记录内容随时间推移逐渐简化，但记录格式及收集的信息类型保持一致。
约自1950年起，控告相关记录开始使用年度单一编号，不过年份可记录在单一编号之前或之后（例如：42/1、2/54或87/3）。
约自1980年代起，各警察局的控告记录簿按时间顺序分配卷号，从“1”开始递增。
1990年至1994年间，纸质控告记录簿逐渐被在线系统取代。COPS系统（Computerised Operational Policing System，计算机化警务运作系统）于1994年启用，此前则有在线控告记录系统（Online Charging records system，1990-1995）作为过渡系统，为COPS的实施提供备份支持。
