A former police negotiator has suggested systemic failures led to a scandal revealed yesterday, around former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming.
An IPCA report's revealed past serious allegations about McSkimming weren't immediately investigated by senior staff.
The woman who made them was charged with harassment, despite the lack of scrutiny of her claims.
Former negotiator Lance Burdett says not having experienced staff could have played a part in the failures.
"There's only two options, isn't there? Well, there's three - ignorance, incompetence or something nefarious. I don't know."
A new police Inspector-General is being created.
