In reality, the AFP was formed as a merger between the Commonwealth Police and the Australian Capital Territory Police, the Federal Narcotics Bureau later merged with the AFP in November 1979. On the 21st December 1979, 118 letters were sent out to the former Federal Narcotics Bureau officers offering them a position in the AFP. Out of the 118 letters sent out, 84 from the investigative staff were offered a role in the AFP General Police Branch while 34 agents were to remain in the public service field. AFP Commissioner; Colin Woods said the 34 agents were to be assigned to specialized areas and those not chosen for the General Police Branch were based on the agents' ages, health and the numbers needed to maintain the career structure. -- Last edit: 2020-07-28 18:46:42
