Excerpt:

Victoria Police is often failing to properly investigate allegations of police misconduct or assault, proving the need for an independent investigative body, a Melbourne law firm has told a parliamentary inquiry.

The inquiry, which began public hearings today, is investigating whether the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) and other bodies are well equipped to investigate allegations of police corruption and misconduct in the state.
