Lamarre-Condon allegedly killed Davies and Baird with a police gun.
“If officers seek to have approval to store firearms at their home, there are a number of steps to that approval, including that the safe in which the firearm is stored has been independently approved.” Asked if she knew whether the accused had an approved gun safe at his home, the Commissioner answered: “I’m actually not aware.” She would not confirm whether normal rules had been followed in this case.
Oh you have GOT to be fucking kidding me.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Commissioner Webb confirmed police will investigate whether the 28-year-old had been tagged as a “high-risk” officer prior to his alleged role in the deaths of Davies and Baird.
Commissioner Webb was asked whether police had scrutinised Lamarre-Condon’s social media activities prior to his joining the force.
“That’s why I’ve acted quickly to conduct two things, the immediate audit of current processes in place in this organisation around the location of guns, the approvals for any other alternate storage mechanism.”
"The second thing is asking Victoria Police to run a six-week inquiry into how guns are handled by the NSW force: “a full review of our systems and processes more broadly, to see if there’s an opportunity to do this better.”
The NSW Police Commissioner has come under increasing pressure this week, after being accused of failing to address the public in a timely manner over the unfolding investigation.
NSW Police has released an unusual amount of detail about the crime and the role of the accused, including information that might be considered prejudicial to receiving a fair trial.
