New deputy police commissioners (for the state of Victoria, in Australia)

With the retirement of my home state's former (see also here) Chief  Commissioner of Victoria Police, there have been some further reshuffling of personnel, including the appointment of two members as deputy Commissioners (I think one already was a deputy Commissioner, but was moved to a new position).

My problem is that, as an outsider, I know nothing - neither good nor bad - of these people. Is this a good thing, or not?

I did an internet search, and found:

• one caused a major decrease in crime; 
• this police person, seemingly oblivious to the fact that many law abiding and peaceful minorities are not comforted by the sight of police, also wants to "own the streets" by increasing visible police presence on streets (which is akin to the terminology used by despots like the one running the USA - I think one media article used the term "dominate" the streets, which is even worse, but that was behind a pay wall);
• but the other was also aware of the problems of right wing extremism, which is a little reassuring.

None of that particularly reassures me. Are these people fit and proper people for these roles?

The recent problems suggest very strongly that Victoria Police has at least some remnant dinosaurs - see, for instance, here, here, here, here, and here.

Interestingly, I also found that members of the police swear to the Queen - not the community, and their oath puts keeping the Queen's peace - not the community's - ahead of enforcing the law.

I [insert name] [swear by Almighty God / do solemnly and sincerely affirm] that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lady the Queen as a police officer in Victoria in any capacity in which I may be appointed, promoted, or reduced to, without favour or affection, malice or ill-will for the period of [insert period] from this date, and until I am legally discharged,that I will see and cause Her Majesty's peace to be kept and preserved,and that I will prevent to the best of my power all offences, and that while I continue to be a police officer I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all the duties legally imposed on me faithfully and according to law.

I think that's part of the problems right there, in that oath.

What I, as a member of both the overall community allegedly being served by Victoria Police and several minority groups who the police have a history of abusing, would like to know of each of these members (and quite a few others, actually) is:

1. Are you aware that Victoria Police serve ALL the Victorian community, not only the majority (let alone the British Queen)? 
2. Are you aware of the harm done by the behaviour known as "dog whistling"? 
3. Are you aware of the problem of unconscious bias?
   If you are, what are you doing to fix that problem? (Don't try to deny it is a problem - all people have it, including some quite admirable people who have managed that problem.)
   If you aren't, why, and what are you going to do to remedy that shortcoming? 
4. Are you aware that members of minority groups who have either been, or seem to have been, attacked by police will not call on the police for help in any criminal matter - and ESPECIALLY not when they are being attacked for being a member of that group?
   That includes situations where police have been officially cleared - such as the appalling raid on Hares and Hyenas, where the secretary of the police union showed his unfitness to police officer, in my opinion, by claiming to be proud that his members that crippled a gay man.
   That is how such events are seen - particularly with ****wit remarks like that.
   All of this means - particularly for people like victims of domestic violence from police and their close friends - will have reluctance to call on the police, and will NOT be comforted by the sight of a blue uniform.
5. Are you aware of the particular issues of minority groups - for example, that misgendering, deadnaming and breaching of privacy of TGD people can be harmful - and can cause or contribute to suicide? This includes  the recent appalling incident where serving members are under investigation, but no-one has said anything about transphobia - whether conscious or unconscious.
6. Are you aware that apologies are an excellent first step, but must be followed by sustained and continuous decency, rather than abuse? 
7. Will you be using modern management techniques, or more of the problematic paramilitary approach?

Police sometimes complain that they have a job "the same as anyone else".

Bullshit!

You have greater powers, including the powers of both instant death and delayed death (e.g., by committing sexual assault in the form of strip searches, which KILLS people the same as any other form of sexual assault), and thus you MUST be held to a higher standard.

Anyone who wants to complain about that isn't fit to wear the uniform - and I commend this video to your attention on that aspect.

I also commend this post of mine, on a draft proposal for a gold standard on inclusion and diversity, to your attention.
