A culture of rampant bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination has been revealed across the NSW Police force in a wide-ranging review.
Many officers were too afraid to speak up against what they were experiencing, the review of thousands of current and former staff revealed.
Every woman who spoke to the review described experiences of overt or covert sexual harassment, undermining, and belittlement at some time during their service.
The review was commissioned in 2024 by then NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb following reports of a toxic culture across the police force and led by former Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner, Kristen Hilton.
Current NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon accepted all 29 recommendations of the review.
The commissioner said he was committed to ensuring NSW Police was a safe and inclusive workforce.
