Heat on corrupt police
ALMOST three in four Victorians want a royal commission into police corruption.
And almost three in 10 have no confidence in the police, rising to four in 10 among 18 to 24-year-olds.
It follows a controversial year for police, culminating in damaging allegations aired at Office of Police Integrity hearings.
Trust in the police force fell from 71 per cent in 2005 to 65.5 per cent in 2006, but bounced back to 69 per cent in the 2007 end-of-year Herald Sun Issues 2007 survey.
Brad Lister, 44, of Caulfield wants a royal commission to investigate links between police and organised crime figures.
"There's enough questions to be asked on how the crime syndicates managed to go unnoticed and unregulated for the best part of a decade," Mr Lister said.
Judy Walker, 61, of Watsonia, also wants a royal commission.
"I think there are a lot of rotten eggs in the police force, more so than what there used to be," she said.
"In the old days, policemen were in it to do something for the community. Now I think they're in it because they want to high-note themselves."
Ms Walker said she lost faith after seeing young people unfairly made the target of attention
