The Professional Standards Command has completed an initial assessment of allegations a man was assaulted while he was detained at the Hobart Remand Centre overnight 20-21 October.

“This has included a review of CCTV from the Hobart Remand Centre and the cell in which the complainant was held,” Deputy Commissioner Jonathan Higgins said.

“Professional Standards has secured clear CCTV footage which captures all interactions between police officers, prison staff and the complainant.

“As a result Professional Standards has determined that no immediate action is required in relation to the officers involved.

“As is standard procedure in such matters, the Integrity Commission will be notified and in all matters have oversight over Professional Standards matters.”
