Thresholds set to specific serious allegations. Alerts not limited to a single indicator. Monitored officer status.
Case Study One
38 yr old 1/C Constable, 5 yrs service. 10 public complaints since 2004 with the main issues
relating to excessive use of force, procedure and manner.
3rd highest number of public complaints in District. EI Notification to DO June 2008 to consider
monitoring and initiating local management initiatives.
Case Study Two 42 yr old 1/C Constable, 5 yrs service Main issues identified:
Poor driving behaviour; reported and anecdotal evidence (suspension of priority 2 driving status was considered but was not invoked).
Over zealous application of the law. Use of force: reported and anecdotal evidence of non-reporting. Dominating tendencies towards junior officers. Reckless driving behaviour resulting in damage to police vehicles. The non compliance with procedures due to a lack of attention to
detail. Alienation of work colleges resulting from poor driver behaviour, over
zealous application of the law and associated short comings in procedural integrity due to excessive haste when dealing with incidents.
WA Police image and reputation compromised.Continued …
Case Study 2 Recommendations / Options
Issues arising from officer’s behaviour require immediate treatment. Following risk treatment options recommended for consideration by the District Office: Officer be placed under the supervision of a quality leader with good
mentoring traits. When circumstances allow, officer to be partnered with a more senior
member with quality leadership and coaching skills. Officer’s driving qualification to be reassessed. Training should be given
to enhance his driving standards, with a focus on safety and current UDD policy.
Consideration should be given by local management to develop a strategy to monitor the officer’s driving behaviour in the work place and to reduce his domineering practice of always performing the driving duties.
Consideration should be given for local management strategies to be implemented to ensure officer’s Use of Force is recorded in all instances where reportable force options are used.
