Watchdog slams Vic police over
The Victorian police watchdog has criticised the state force for setting up an organised crime taskforce rife with corruption.
An Office of Police Integrity (OPI) report tabled in parliament on Thursday found Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon wrongly allowed civilian Kerry Milte to head the task force.

Letter spurs inquiry of New Ca
NEW CANAAN - First Selectwoman Judy Neville announced yesterday the town has hired a private investigator to look into allegations that police department members may have accepted improper gifts.
The town has asked attorney Michael Rose, of the Hartford law firm Rose Kallor LLP, to investigate the anonymous complaint, Neville said yesterday in a statement.
After consulting with Police Chief Edward Nadriczny, Neville also announced she has appointed a team to work with Rose; it consists of a police captain and town human resources director Cheryl Jones.
When reached at her office, Neville declined to offer specifics about the allegations.
The town decided to hire a private attorney because "it was an internal issue, and we wanted someone with expert experience on this kind of investigation," she said.
A news release issued last night by New Canaan Police Sergeant Carol Ogrinc said the department will conduct an internal investigation of the allegations.
"Recently, the chief of police received a letter from an anonymous individual alleging that officers in the New Canaan Police Department were receiving services from a New Canaan company without appropriate compensation," the release stated. "During the investigation, all officers allegedly involved will remain working in an active duty capacity."
According to its Web site, the Rose Kallor firm handles legal matters regarding civil rights, labor and employment, municipal law and insurance defense.
The state would not need to be involved unless something is uncovered in the investigation, Neville said.
A spokesman for the state Attorney General Office's Public Integrity Bureau said last night he was unaware of the New Canaan allegations and would not get more information until Monday.
