The Police Commissioner says he only became aware of an investigation into Jevon McSkimming two days before taking up the top job. 

The former Deputy Police Commissioner is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices. 

A watchdog report finds some of the nation's highest ranking officers ignored a young woman's anonymous complaints against McSkimming.  

They then went after her for digital harassment. 

The Government has installed an Inspector-General of Police to ensure there is stronger oversight than the IPCA alone. 

Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking the report points out about five top cops who are at fault.  

He says most of them have departed the organisation, but he is also launching employment investigations for other members.
