It is assumed that Mr Walker had instead requested that he first be allowed to attend the funeral of an older resident, which took place on Saturday, and that permission was given by the police. Their requests to allow two family members to enter the police station were rejected by the police. Police told a press briefing late Sunday afternoon that Yuendumu officers had wanted Walker to voluntarily come forward to police before the shooting for violating a community correction order. Acting Assistant Commissioner Michael White said the two officers involved provided first aid at the scene before bringing Mr Walker to Yuendumu Police Station. The Ombudsman Act requires the Commissioner of Police and the Ombudsman to provide each other with the details of any complaints they receive about police misconduct. “But all this time he was dead at the police station,” she said. The Royal Flying Doctor Service said Saturday night at 9 p.m. that Mr Walker died after police fired three shots as they tried to arrest him around 7.15pm. Your complaint can be dealt with simply by explaining the law on the corresponding police procedure. Otherwise, the ombudsman might: the two most senior police officers in the Northern Territory had served longer in their careers in Yuendumu, and many elders stood up to kiss them before taking the microphone. The preferred way for you to report police misconduct to the NT is to contact the police and try to resolve your concerns directly with them.
They can complain to them: Assistant Commissioner White agreed that police decided not to announce Mr. Walker`s death on Saturday night, in part for fear of reprisal. The handling of your complaint about police misconduct at the NT depends on their seriousness. They are usually contacted to continue discussing the issue. “The police had tried to negotiate with him and his family to surrender to the police, but he had the opportunity to participate in that funeral in terms of community culture,” said Assistant Commissioner White. If you file your complaint by phone or in person at the police station, you should record the name and details of the person you spoke to and what they say about your complaint. If you feel that the complaint has not been properly handled by the police or if you are uncomfortable, if you go directly to them, you can file your complaint with the NT Ombudsman. The Ombudsman may decide that disciplinary measures are necessary. .
