    The Australian Federal Police (AFP) was formed on19 October 1979.The
    catalyst for the creation of the AFP is often cited as the bombing of the Hilton
    Hotel in Sydney, on13 February 1978, which occurred during the first
    Commonwealth Heads of Government Regional Meeting.The Hilton bombing
    was considered the first significant terrorist incident on Australian soil and
    prompted a series of changes to the Commonwealth policing, intelligence, and
    security landscape.

    Following the Hilton Bombing, Sir Robert Marks (former Commissioner of UK


    Metropolitan Police) was appointed to conduct a review into police, protective
    security, and counter-terrorism resources of the Commonwealth.In response to
    the findings of this review, the Australian Federal Police Act 1979 (AFP Act) was
    enacted by Parliament.This gave effect to the Government’s policy to create a
    single Federal Policing agency, incorporating into it the existing Commonwealth
    Police, ACT Police and Commonwealth Narcotics Bureau.

    The AFP commenced operations under its first Commissioner, Sir Colin Woods
    KCVO CBE QPM. While the AFP is still relatively young, it has grown continually
    since 1979.In that time it has had to deal with constantly changing trends in
    technology and corporate structure in order to keep pace with Government
    expectations and the business of fighting crime in Australia and overseas.
