AnswerView source ↗
My view is that this incident is
entirely unacceptable and I expect that people who come into the custody of
police are treated with respect. With respect to the CCC report, we accept, WA
Police accepts, the recommendations of the report. I had a conversation with
the Commissioner of Police today. He disagrees with the assistant commissioner
of the CCC about whether charges should be laid against the police auxiliary
officers involved. The Commissioner of Police has given me an undertaking and
his assurance that he will work through these issues with the Corruption and
Crime Commissioner, Judge John McKechnie , and I
expect he will advise me of the outcome of those discussions in due course.
