A parliamentary committee has been told the case of an Indigenous man who was tasered multiple times by officers, has been hand-balled from agency to agency.

Kevin Spratt was tasered at least 12 times at the Perth Watch House in 2008.

The Corruption and Crime Commission found the use of force by two of the officers involved was excessive and, earlier this year, referred the matter to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Assistant Police Commissioner Nic Staltari says the DPP has now referred the case back to WA Police, which is investigating whether criminal charges should be laid.

Mr Staltari noted police had identified and dealt with the matter before the CCC became involved and he says the watchdog only added unnecessary delays to the investigation.

Earlier this year, the CCC released a report that recommended the DPP lay charges against Senior Constable Troy Tomlin and Senior Constable Aaron Strahan.

The CCC said any reasonable person viewing video footage of that night would be left with a considerable feeling of disquiet, if not outrage.

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

The two officers were subject to internal disciplinary action and fined up to $1,200.

Mr 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 made no findings of misconduct in relation to that incident.
