@abcnewsaus: In 2019, Victoria Police Sergeant Shona O'Connor took her own life. Her family says she had complained of bullying and sexually harassing comments at Melton police station. "I think it was incredibly toxic and incredibly detrimental to even the most resilient person," says Shona's sister, Reschelle O'Connor. A data analysis published by the Victorian coroner last year revealed there were 35 suicides among Victoria Police employees between 2009 and August 2024, and work-related stressors were connected to more than 70 per cent of the deaths. "Mike, sir, you need to fix this," Shona's father, Michael O'Connor, has told the state's police chief. "Our daughter's dead, sir, and she's never coming back." Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush says he accepts the accounts of Melton's culture and is listening to the O'Connor family.
