The Commission considered police handling of the use-of-force matter appropriate and found the decision to use managerial action rather than prosecution was available on the facts.
Its four recommendations covered tailored training for repeated excessive force, custody management, custody officer experience and reporting injury or severe discomfort.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
The outcome of the investigation and the action taken by the WA Police Force against the officers appears reasonable and appropriate.
Findings, opinions and statements
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Recommendations 1
Recommendation
The Commission recommends that consideration be given to 'bespoke training' being provided to individuals who demonstrate a pattern of behaviour in excessive use of force, along with close monitoring and management.

Notes on this record
- Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
Coverage
This publisher
- The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
- Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
- The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
- Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
- No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
