Slap for police chief by over
VICTORIA'S police watchdog has rebuked Chief Commissioner Simon Overland for failing to act on ''overwhelming'' evidence that Paul Mullett bullied some of his former police association colleagues more than four years ago.
Last November Office of Police Integrity chief Michael Strong wrote to Mr Overland to raise concerns about his handling of the case.
The letter, which was sent four months after the OPI's unrelated perjury case against Mr Mullett collapsed in court, reignites one of the ugliest chapters in the relationship between the union, force command and the OPI.

Ethics Finding Reprimands Poli
Miami Police Chief John Timoney should have disclosed to the county and state that he was driving a hybrid Lexus for free as a gift for more than a year, according to an ethics finding.
Timoney did not dispute the facts of the finding Thursday by the Miami-Dade County ethics commission's public advocate, Michael Murawski. But Timoney maintained the vehicle had not been given to him.
"Bottom line, I don't think this is a gift," Timoney said.
In August, Timoney admitted to driving the vehicle for free but said a friend who owns the Lexus of Kendall dealership gave it to him as a demo model.
"It's clear to me now, in retrospect, that I kept that vehicle too long, because there's a perception that's been created that somehow I was getting something for nothing," Timoney said at the time.
He eventually bought the vehicle at sticker price.
City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff pressed for Timoney to get more than just a verbal reprimand after more than 500 Miami police officers were asked by Miami's police union to vote on whether they have confidence in Timoney and Deputy Chief Frank Fernandez. Of the 650 votes cast, 520 showed no confidence in Timoney, while 548 showed no confidence in Fernandez.
"It needs to be on his permanent record," Sarnoff said. "It needs to show that the city took action and penalized him, and I think the appropriate amount and the appropriate punishment is two weeks without pay."
Armando Aguilar, president of Miami's Fraternal Order of Police, said that under Timoney's leadership, officers have been asked to underreport crime statistics in the city.
Timoney has said the allegation isn't true.
