Police bedded their students
AS many as 23 police instructors investigated in one year slept with students at the state's elite training college, an explosive report just tabled by the NSW Ombudsman has revealed.
The report, tabled in parliament today, comes just a week after The Daily Telegraph revealed concerns that there had been a history of sexual misconduct at the NSW Police College in Goulburn.
The force has dismissed the allegations as historical, that its code of conduct is tough and that no serious allegations of sexual misconduct had occurred in the past two years.
"Let my message be clear: I will not hesitate to remove any officer or student where a complaint of an inappropriate sexual relationship or serious misconduct is sustained,'' Commissioner Ken Moroney said.
In his report, NSW Ombudsman Bruce Barbour has openly accused the force of not doing enough to tackle the problem of sexual misconduct by police officers.
He reveals that 23 of 30 officers investigated in 2002 for sexual misconduct allegations had the charges against them sustained.
And he goes on to say that there has been more than 100 complaints against Education Services officers since 2003.
"Most of these misconduct complaints have been properly investigated. However, the action taken against officers found to have engaged in misconduct was in many cases too little, too late,'' he said.
The report reveals that some officers have been treated leniently in past investigations because having sex with students was not clearly prohibited.
A spokeswoman for Mr Moroney said the Ombudsman had oversighted all those complaints he highlighted but ``despite this, the Ombudsman's office has waited four years to release a public report''.
Mr Barbour called for a clearer code of conduct for police instructors and more consistent decision-making by NSW Police.
The force's Education Services commander Tony Aldred has said previously that officers and recruits had it drummed into them that they were not to breach professional distance rules.
Mr Barbour's report emerged as he attacked plans by NSW Police to wind back the role of the Ombudsman in oversighting police misconduct, saying it would ``compromise the ability of the Ombudsman ... to hold NSW Police to account for the actions of police officers''.
Mr Moroney rejected this: ``There is nothing in the Ombudsma's report that would cause me to change my position that his oversight role provides any additional scrutiny to a system that is already fully transparent and reviewable by the Police Integrity Commission or, in some circumstances, the ICAC''.
