Vic police corruption whistleb
A Victorian detective fears his family may be at risk after he spoke out about corruption within the police force.
Former Ceja Task Force Detective Sergeant Bill Patten believes there are up to two dozen police still in the force who may be corrupt but have never been properly investigated.
He has told AM the police force command has failed to fully address police corruption, including links to gangland murders.
Detective Sergeant Bill Patten says a royal commission is needed.
"We shouldn't have investigated, end of story - it should have been done by a standing body, whether that was a royal commission or a standing commission," he said.

"We were put at risk and we shouldn't have been put at risk."
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon is yet to respond to the allegations.
