"In early June, an
ABC Four Corners investigation into NSW Police showcased
first-hand accounts of police using excessive force against the public.
These stories alleged an internal police culture that willingly covered up
wrongdoing to evade accountability.
This is not a novel concept. The 1997 Wood Royal Commission revealed the same
cultural deficits in New South Wales.
With a sharp rise in complaints and civil suits against NSW Police since 2020,
these issues have gained a renewed focus.
In response to the ABC’s reporting, NSW Police committed to making the use of
body-worn cameras mandatory whenever a police power is used or force is
initiated.
The policy would align with all other Australian states and territories, except
for Western Australia."
