Western Australian Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan has requested a Corruption & Crime Commission investigation into the conduct of some officers in Broome. Attorney-General Michael Mischin also wants to be briefed on the issue by the Director of Public Prosecutions, after a murder charge had to be downgraded to manslaughter and the accused was allowed to plead guilty to the lesser crime. The Supreme Court ruled that the police officers had repeatedly breached the law when they interviewed the suspect

The Western Australian Corruption & Crime Commission has approved the use by police of anti-fortification laws. The target are a family suspected of exploiting illegal migrants as cheap labour at their market gardening business as well as money laundering. A number of raids were conducted earlier in 2014, and the high walls, metal gates and closed circuit TV cameras at the Safari Place property must now be removed. The laws had previously only been applied to outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Gypsy Jokers and the Coffin Cheaters. An appeal to Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan is possible
