No police officers were stood down or dismissed over their failings in the Livingstone case.
Southern district commander Superintendent Andrew Coster yesterday confirmed no police officers were stood down for their conduct in the handling of Edward Livingstone.
Livingstone was the subject of a protection order when he shot his children, Bradley (9) and Ellen (6), on January 15, 2014, with a stolen 12-gauge Stoeger shotgun in the Kiwi St, St Leonards, home they shared with their mother, Katharine Webb.
Southern police earlier said no officers were dismissed over their failings.
The Chief Coroner found multiple failings by police meant the extent of the risk Livingstone posed to his family went undetected by the agencies charged with protecting Ms Webb and her children.
Livingstone had trapped Ms Webb in her room and raped her in May 2013.
She separated from him shortly afterwards and sought a protection order, which was first issued on May 31, 2013, and finalised on August 13.
Police were aware of those matters when Livingstone twice breached the order.
He first breached the order on August 7 and attending officers were handed spent bullet casings, which Livingstone had given to his children as a gift.
The attending officers failed to record that Livingstone had handed the casings to the children and did not investigate his access to firearms.
He was granted police diversion, against national policy, for the breach.
He breached the order again in August 2013 and received a discharge without conviction.
However, the sentencing judge was not aware of Livingstone's convictions in Australia for arson and assault.
The police prosecutor in the case was aware, at the time of sentencing, Livingstone had a criminal history, although details were scant.
Supt Coster said police would not comment on how many officers were disciplined or what punishment they faced for their failings in the case.
''Police can confirm that while no officers were stood down, any failings or issues identified after the events have been appropriately addressed between police and the employees concerned,'' he said.
Any employment matters ''must remain confidential between employer and employee'', he said.
When asked if any officers were found to have failed to provide appropriate care, a police spokesman said police would not comment.
