Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission (2017 - 2021)· 24 September 2020inquiry_report

A WA parliamentary committee examined the Corruption and Crime Commission's (CCC) oversight of police misconduct, specifically excessive force allegations. The report questions the CCC's effectiveness and consistency in independently investigating and reviewing such allegations, particularly regarding Aboriginal people. It recommends greater transparency and a refocus on police oversight.

WA Police Force, CCC, Aboriginal people, and the broader public are affected. Lack of confidence in the system erodes trust.
