The Wire

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb will step down on September 30th, bringing an end to a 38-year career in the police force. Highly regarded across the political divide, Webb’s tenure also drew sharp criticism over her response to major incidents, including the tasering death of Clare Nowland and the alleged murder of Jesse Baird and Luke Davis.

With her resignation now confirmed, questions are mounting about the future of the NSW Police Force and how future leaders can rebuild trust – particularly among communities who have long felt failed by the system.
