Police are acknowledging they're not perfect, as it's revealed junior officers are 'barely equipped' with the basics. 

A survey of training officers has found two thirds are concerned about probationary constables’ understanding of police responsibilities when holding suspects in custody. 

Assistant Police Commissioner Tusha Penny says transparent graduate tracking is important to the organisation, so there will be more of it.

She says a review is underway, and there will be some changes to the curriculum early next year.
