Chemical Diversion Desk The South Australia Police Chemical Diversion Desk is responsible for monitoring and investigating the diversion of chemicals and equipment for illicit purposes and provides a central point of contact for the chemical industry. Drug producers require various precursor chemicals, pharmaceuticals, reagents, solvents and scientific equipment to manufacture illicit drugs. Likewise persons manufacturing explosives and explosive devices often purchase chemicals and scientific equipment. Partnerships and liaison with industry and community sources is a critical means of chemical diversion control and offender detection. The role and function of the desk is supported by legislation (Controlled Substances Act 1984, Controlled Substances [Poisons] Regulations 1996) requiring mandatory report or recording of specific chemical sales and an industry code of conduct. For all enquiries or reports regarding chemical diversion please call (08) 8172 5182 or 0417 069 096. End User Statements should be faxed to (08) 8172 5138 or emailed to SAPOL.CDD@police.sa.gov.au.
