IBAC Report: Audit of Victoria Police's Oversight of Serious Incidents

When brutality is alleged against police, impartial investigation is essential – to ensure accountability for misconduct, to vindicate the human rights of victims, and to embed a culture of respect for rights within our police force.  In March 2018 IBAC found ‘concerning deficiencies’ in the manner in which Victoria Police reviews serious incidents, including those that result in the serious injury or death of members of the public.  The IBAC findings raise significant legal and human rights concerns.
