More reason why we need a #PoliceOmbudsmanNow
Police cannot be trusted to act lawfully on their own accord. Independent audits of their powers and cases need to happen, and sanctions must be applied to individual officer as well as the whole organisation.
IBAC annual report out today. Here is the independent body for #PoliceComplaints in #Victoria saying that of 1965 complaints about police, they investigated 6!
Less than 1%.
What's the point of having IBAC do police complaints at this point. They refer the majority back to #VictoriaPolice
We need a #PoliceOmbudsmanNow

This annual report outlines IBAC's work in the 2021/22 financial year to build a corruption-resistant Victorian public sector. It details our operational and financial performance, achievements, and how we work to prevent and expose public sector corruption and police misconduct.
This needs more eyes on this. While #qld police are under pressure, we in #victoria are demanding a #PoliceOmbudsmanNow
We need more #PoliceAccountability on systemic issues like racism.
