An advocate supporting people with complaints about Police misconduct doubts the proposed Inspector General of Police will make any difference.
The government has pledged to establish the role following the damning IPCA report into how top brass at Police handled sexual assault allegations made against former Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming.
The IPCA has long-agitated to be given greater powers itself, so that it can undertake a wider range of investigations, and have prosecutorial powers.
And in its report into McSkimming it advocates for more funding.
Shannon Parker founded the Police Conduct Association in 2013, a non-governmental organisation that helps people resolve complaints against the police and navigate the IPCA process.
