Shona O’Connor’s family want her case reopened and a public inquest into her death. 
The Victoria Police sergeant took her own life in 2019. Her family say she had reported bullying and sexually harassing comments to her bosses at Melton police station.  
Four Corners has discovered key material about her treatment at work and Melton’s culture was left out of the  brief prepared for the coroner. 
Victoria’s Police Commissioner Mike Bush told Four Corners an “unacceptable” behaviour existed within parts of the force and accepts some of the statements that were left out should have been presented to the coroner.   
Bush says he would support a hearing if the coroner orders one.
