Notes:

1: By "complete", we mean not only that the responses to each recommendation have been fully implemented but also that they are an integral and ongoing part of the Police's routine business practice and culture – and that they are routinely delivering the desired effect. See paragraph 1.12 for an explanation of the term "embedding".

2: In our second report in 2010, we assessed that the Police had fully implemented seven of the Commission's 47 recommendations for the Police. We do not comment further on these recommendations in this report. The recommendations the Police have completed are:

  • enhancing their policy capability (R4);
  • having the Adult Sexual Assault Investigation Guidelines accessible to staff (R10);
  • disestablishing the disciplinary tribunal system (R33);
  • implementing a Code of Conduct for all staff (R38);
  • amending the Sexual Harassment Policy (R39);
  • clarifying what is inappropriate email and Internet use (R41); and
  • consulting with and involving the State Services Commissioner to ensure that the Police's projects take account of best practice in the public sector (R59).

3: N/A means not assessed for this report.
