Organisations working to end sexual violence are calling for comprehensive police reform.
This follows the damning IPCA report into police handling of accusations against disgraced former Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming, which found serious misconduct at the highest levels.
The allegations arose after an affair between McSkimming and a non-sworn police employee who accused him of sexual offending. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers says the woman was "ignored and badly let down".
