While I was living in NSW during his time in Sydney, I don't know have any inside information into the full story in regard to Peter Ryan and the Integrety Commission, other than what was in the newpapers at the time.
What I dont understand, is why would an innocent police officer just up and take their own life if they have no reason to worry. Perhaps you can explain it to me.
Put it this way though. I don't consider killing myself every time I get audited by the ATO, because I have nothing to hide. Sure it makes me nervous because I may have inadvertently made an error, but not to the point of killing myself!

Perhaps death was a viable option for these fine upstanding members or the NSW police force because they were guilty of something and didn't want to face the music?
Perhaps they were not willing to face the consequences of being found out as being corrupt?

The NSW police force were widely known as a corrupt police force, the best police force that money can buy, prior to his reign. While perhaps the way that things were handled in overhauling it were not 100% in some areas, would you really prefer a corrupt police force?

As I said, I don't know any more than what was made public. Perhaps you are in the law enforcement idustry and do, but please don't paint this as a one sided argument where this figure head comes into power, and all of a sudden innocent people working under him decide its a good idea to neck themselves for some unknown reason. The fact that these people took there lives, speaks volumes of their guilt, not of the job being done by Ryan.
