 Denise Godden,/The NSW Police Professional Standards
This sounds similar to the disgraced Lola Scott who  got her footing up the ladder by marrying a more senior NSW Policeman  only to  be finally exposed as  a fraud and shonk who was eventually sacked from the NSW Police Force
I am aware Lola's stepson David thought very little of Lola( what a happy family unit!!!!!!!!!!!!)
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Over the past two years Lola Scott was subjected to an internal investigation into her management style, and assigned special projects at Police Headquarters. Before that she held strategic and operational commands, playing a key role in policing during the Sydney Olympics.

Nine years ago, Lola Scott became the first woman to be made a patrol commander. She was also Chief Inspector of Internal Affairs.

IAN BALL: Commander Scott's had 30 years in the cops. Bit over 30, actually. She's the most senior ranking female officer in NSW. And quite frankly, she's come into the cops 30-odd years ago when it was no bed of roses.
***********************
 Commander Lola Scott was told of her dismissal by the State's Police Commissioner, Ken Moroney, who immediately issued a two-line media release announcing her departure.

Ms Scott says she'll fight the decision and through a friend has told the ABC that she's been the subject of a witch hunt and never received the findings of the review into her conduct.

Fiona: Kev gives me style counsel
A HIGH-RANKING policewoman is under investigation after an unprecedented number of bullying and harassment allegations from fellow officers.
"The staff at the Orange Police Station within the command are experiencing a significant sense of helplessness and fear."
More than 30 serving and retired police have formed an extraordinary class action against the Orange detective, Insp Denise Godden, who has been with the force for more than 30 years.
The investigation has heard claims of bullying, harassment and discrimination against officers lasting some years.
The NSW Police Professional Standards Command confirmed its investigation was continuing.
"The matter was referred to NSW Police Force by the NSW Ombudsman," a police spokesman said. "Given an investigation is underway, and is being oversighted by the Ombudsman, it is inappropriate to comment further."
The allegations, which include a claim that Insp Godden once described her colleagues as "useless c. . .s", are still being examined and have yet to be proven. Interviews with complainants are still being conducted, including one as recently as a fortnight ago. The investigation is not expected to conclude for a number of months.
The Sunday Telegraph has obtained three statements, including the original complaint supplied to the NSW Ombudsman, which form part of the professional standards brief.
The statement, signed by retired detective inspector Jason Puxty -- who managed professional standards issues at the Orange command -- was submitted on behalf of 30 people.
"The staff at the Orange Police Station within the command are experiencing a significant sense of helplessness and fear," it reads.
Most of the signatories have never met each other. They worked with Insp Godden at Griffith, Goulburn and, more recently, Canobolas.
Almost all have now been interviewed by investigators.
"There are numerous sustained workers' compensation claims in which a substantial impacting factor has been as a direct result of bullying by Inspector Godden," the complaint, which kicked off the investigation, states.
The complaint also alleges that during the selection process for the command's target action group, Insp Godden stated: "I don't care who we pick, just pick someone who (a particular senior constable) hates".
The document claims that senior NSW Police officers were aware of the management issues, but did little or not enough to take action.
Insp Godden told The Sunday Telegraph she was unable to comment while the investigation was continuing.
