Police continue to implement and work towards embedding the solutions developed to address the recommendations from the Commission of Inquiry into Police Conduct. The recommendations, allocated into the following eight work streams, and specifically the status of the solutions, are separately reported on:
This year, key achievements include progress in Police’s commitment to improve service delivery and the workplace, the completion of the district training review, and training for Adult Sexual Assault investigations.
Also, in April 2012, the State Services Commission (SSC) in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers released the fourth review of police progress in implementing recommendations 37 and 59 from the Commission of Inquiry into Police conduct.
In response to the recommendations from the second monitoring report of the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) and the third monitoring report of State Services Commission (SSC), Police held a high-level workshop in March to identify key themes for Police to focus on in order to ensure the 'intention' of the Commission of Inquiry and the subsequent SSC and OAG reports are achieved.
The recommendations have been allocated into the following eight work streams. Current work is focused on determining key measures for each work stream and the necessary processes to monitor progress towards high-level outcomes under each work stream.
The 2011 Workplace Survey was delayed this year due to the amount of Police staff involved with the Canterbury Earthquake in February. The survey was completed in June and saw an overall improvement in a variety of areas.
Police continue to monitor the solutions implemented to address the recommendations from the Commission of Inquiry, with the primary focus on whether the solutions are being used and continue have the desired effect.
After the first quarterly report, 30 of the original 48 recommendations to be completed by Police had been completed. These included standards for complaint investigation, amendments to the Sexual Harassment Policy, the consolidation of misconduct related policies, and the Organisational Health Audit.
Another key event included receiving the Second Monitoring Report from the Auditor General in June 2010. Several recommendations have been made and Police have begun to address these. This includes considering the need to reopen 25 of the recommendations.
The third (2010) annual State Service's Commission review to examine the change process undertaken by Police (following on from the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry) was completed in December.
