Title: Inquiry into the command, management and functions of the senior structure of Victoria Police

Summary: Events immediately preceding the announcement of the Inquiry highlighted a perception that the effectiveness of the senior command of Victoria Police was compromised by dysfunctional relationships of those in senior command positions. On 6 May 2011, the then Chief Commissioner Mr Simon Overland directed that Deputy Commissioner Sir Ken Jones take leave, effective from close of business on 6 May 2011. Sir Ken Jones had, previously, on 2 May 2011 announced his intention to resign from Victoria Police, with the resignation to take effect on 5 August 2011. The resignation of Sir Ken Jones, and the direction that he take leave, was preceded by many weeks of speculation in the media about tensions between members of the senior command of Victoria Police. Mr Overland was appointed Chief Commissioner of Police in March 2009. He resigned on 16 June 2011. His resignation followed the release of a report by the Ombudsman earlier that day, Investigation into an allegation about Victoria Police crime statistics. On 27 October 2011, the Office of Police Integrity released a report Crossing the Line that further highlighted the history of disunity in senior command in the months before the resignations of Sir Ken Jones and Mr Overland. This history, combined with a succession of reports, both internal and external, identifying chronic and costly mismanagement across important sections of the administration of Victoria Police, brought into question the effectiveness of the senior command structure and administration of Victoria Police and its ability to deliver best practice policing. The Inquiry was established in the light of this background.
