“The project team has developed a suite of proposed strategies, which will complement the current strategies and policies, and are expected to roll these out over the next 12 to 18 months.” “In 2022, NSW police established a domestic and family violence reform project with a focus of prioritising the health and wellbeing of victims by targeting those who perpetuate violence,” a spokesperson said. In a statement, the NSW police said they were “committed to continually improving the way we respond to and prevent domestic and family violence”. “There were occasions when no statement was taken from the victim and there was no attempt to take statements from other witnesses.” “There were times when a victim reported violence to police but there was no police record of the victim’s report,” he said. The review found there were poor record-keeping practices and inadequate police training.

The LECC’s chief commissioner, Peter Johnson SC, said the report highlights the scale of police work involved in responding to domestic and family violence. Police are the first to respond to most domestic and family violence incidents with officers attending about 500 call-outs every day. The law enforcement watchdog has identified gaps in its response. It also found domestic and family violence takes up about 40% of the police’s workload. The LECC urged NSW police to keep clear records of all domestic and family violence allegations and incidents as well as improving record-keeping about the removal of firearms. Of the 60 officers involved, 11 were found to have been previously investigated for domestic and family violence, in some cases more than once.
