But Mr. Petersen said “many of the conclusions” in the review — including those about his relationship with the former superintendent — “appear to us to be nothing more than repeating one-sided viewpoints.” He said he was not contacted by Mr. Ricketts’s office about the report before it was released.

“In some cases the review makes claims that are demonstrably false,” he said. “In other cases, they advance insults of good men and women in the patrol that put their lives on the line every day.”

Attempts to reach Mr. Rice on Thursday and Friday were unsuccessful.

Mr. Ricketts requested the review on June 23 as a flurry of allegations surfaced about the patrol and its leaders. The agency had come under scrutiny by local news media after conflicting accounts emerged about the role a state trooper played in a fatal crash in October 2016.

The day before Mr. Ricketts requested the review, his office became aware of the female officer’s allegations about the physical exams.

The plaintiff, Brienne Splittgerber, was instructed by a doctor during the physical in September 2014 “to remove her pants, lay on her back on the examination table, bend her knees to put her feet flat on the table and open her knees exposing her genitalia,” the lawsuit said.

It referred to the doctor, Stephen Haudrich, as a “physician selected by the State Patrol.” The report commissioned by the governor did not identify the doctor and blamed the “alleged impropriety” on a “third party agent” of the patrol. Efforts to reach Dr. Haudrich were unsuccessful.

Ms. Splittgerber “did not consent” and reported what happened to her supervisors, the lawsuit said. After she learned that other female applicants would be subjected to the same exam by the same doctor, she reported this information to another ranking officer and was told that her complaint was being investigated. But she was made to wait “in vain” for more information, the lawsuit said.
