The Queensland Government asked the Crime and Misconduct Commission to examine policing in Indigenous communities and recommend improvements.
The inquiry covered police relations with communities, detention and supervision in custody, and the use of criminal justice resources.
The CMC concluded that reducing crime and violence was essential to better police relations, fewer people in custody and more effective use of resources.

In the body's own words

- Conclusion
Greater efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of programs and strategies in Queensland’s Indigenous communities are warranted.
Findings and recommendations

No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
No published response was found.

Coverage
This publisher
- Reports from 1991 to about 2011 are listed on the CCC site but many pages link no report document; those records carry the page summary only, with findings and recommendations not extracted.
- Scanned reports without a text layer are not OCR'd; their findings and recommendations are not extracted.
- Findings and opinions are not extracted except where a report states it makes no finding about any person (section 48B of the Crime and Corruption Act 2001). Pre-2025 reports state outcomes in narrative form, which is not converted into findings.
- Recommendations are extracted only from a complete numbered run; reports that number recommendations differently, or set them inside narrative chapters only, are marked not_extracted.
- Government responses are recorded where the CCC report or public hearing page links one; the responses themselves (often Queensland Parliament tabled papers or ministerial statements) are linked, not fetched.
- The 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry report, which the CCC hosts, is a commission of inquiry report and is not included here.
