A Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) report has recommended charges be laid against two police officers who repeatedly tasered a man almost four years ago.

Western Australia's CCC tabled the report in parliament this morning.

It has recommended the DPP consider whether charges should be laid against Senior Constable Troy Tomlin and Senior Constable Aaron Strahan who tasered Kevin Spratt at least 12 times at the Perth Watch House in August 2008.

Both officers have already been subject to internal police disciplinary action and fined up to $1,200.

The West Australian shadow Attorney-General John Quigley has attacked the Police Commissioner for refusing to stand down the two officers who were the subject of misconduct findings.

Mr Quigley says it is a galling decision.

"The standard procedure in Western Australia is that if a public servant is on the receiving end of serious findings of misconduct like there are in this report in all circumstances those public servants have been stood down," Mr Quigley said.

"But within the police service they are being protected by the Commissioner of Police."

CCC acting commissioner Mark Herron says any reasonable person viewing video footage of that night would be left with a considerable feeling of disquiet, if not outrage.

Concern was expressed about whether negotiation and conflict-resolution methods should have been used rather than the stun weapon.

The report is also critical of an investigation by police internal affairs into the tasering of Spratt, describing its failure to resolve inconsistencies as unsatisfactory.

The CCC investigation followed the 2010 release of the commission's research report on the use of Tasers by WA police.

The commission held public hearings in 2010 and 2011 into the use of Tasers on Mr Spratt.

It made nine recommendations to improve procedures - four in relation to police and five for the Department of Corrective Services.

Inaccuracies

The report also cleared Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan of any wrongdoing in relation to the case.

Mr O'Callaghan was strongly criticised for releasing a so-called timeline of Mr Spratt's contact with police.

The commission accepted the Commissioner's explanation that it was released to preserve public confidence in WA Police, but found inaccuracies should have been resolved before the information was made public.

Mr O'Callaghan says the recommendations relating to police procedures have already been implemented.

He says the decision whether to proceed with criminal charges will be considered by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

"The DPP stopped its consideration of the material we sent to them back in October 2010 while the Corruption and Crime Commission completed its investigation," he said.

"So we are sort of 18 months down the track and now that process will commence again."

Mr O'Callaghan says the fact that Mr Spratt is Aboriginal does not mean he was more likely to be tasered.

"I think that has no bearing on it whatsoever. Clearly what triggered this was ... a heightened incident," he said.

He says Mr Spratt should never have been tasered in the situation he was in.

"Mr Spratt's been apologised to, and we need to make sure that all our processes and procedures are in place," he said.

"What we're not going to do is keep going back and unpicking all the parts of this."

Spratt was also tasered by Department of Corrective Services officers later in 2008 while being removed from a cell in the Perth watch house.

The CCC has made no findings of misconduct in relation to that incident.

Taser use varies across Australia, with some states and territories deploying the weapon among general duty officers and others restricting its use to specialist forces.

Last month Mr Spratt was given a 12-month jail sentence after pleading guilty to several charges relating to a violent incident.

He had threatened to kill an off-duty police officer and held a cigarette lighter as he walked towards a petrol bowser.

Mr Spratt's lawyer says his tasering in 2008 was relevant to the case because it had led to him suffering paranoia of the police.
