Victims of domestic violence by serving cops are being let down by poor record-keeping and conflicts of interest, a state’s review of police procedure has found.
The NSW police watchdog found in a report released on Thursday that mandatory forms for officer-involved domestic and family violence incidents were being filed less than a third of the time, despite the rules being in place since 2018.
The review investigated a total of 67 incidents relating to 56 officers in the year to March 2025, during which 17 cops were charged with offences.
Only seven have been dismissed by the force while eight were found not guilty, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission found.
