Review and amend police and police prosecutor training courses

8.1: That the Chief Commissioner of Police review and if necessary update its training to all members to highlight the requirement that police members, as a Public Authority under the Charter, are required to act in accordance with the Charter when making decisions in the course of their duties. The training should provide members with knowledge and skills enabling members to use the Charter in the real-life decisions they make in the performance of their duties. Its aim should be to embed the Charter in police practice not merely raise members' awareness that the Charter is 'relevant' to Victoria Police as a public authority.

8.2: That the Chief Commissioner of Police review and if necessary update its training to all police prosecutors to highlight their obligations as officers of the court including their duty to inform the court of all relevant matters within their knowledge, including those favourable to an accused.
