The Northern Territory's Chief Minister has claimed a specific investigation by the Territory's corruption body is evidence systemic racism doesn't exist in the police.

On Thursday, an investigation by the Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (OICAC) into racism in the Northern Territory Police Force (NTPF) found "no admissible evidence" five officers lied to the court but concluded "any person of reasonable intelligence" would see evident racism in a series of informal awards for "c--n of the year".

Patricia Kelly SC, who led the investigation, said the investigation had "already fulfilled one of its objectives by highlighting historical evidence of racism within the TRG [Tactical Response Group]."

Furthermore, she noted: "The OICAC does not have the resources to conduct any further wide-ranging investigation into racism within any unit of the NTPF, nor in my view, given the positive steps already taken by the NTPF is it necessary."

Nonetheless, on Thursday Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, claimed the report exonerated claims of systemic racism in the NTPF.

"The CLP has never supported the view that there is systemic racism within the Northern Territory police force," she said.

"This report puts those claims to bed... This period has caused much angst and distress amongst our hardworking police."

Questions by National Indigenous Times for clarification were directed by a spokesperson to comments Ms Finocchiaro made at a press conference earlier on Thursday.

She told reporters police were being put under "higher and higher levels of scrutiny for seemingly no reason" before reiterating her denial of any systemic racism in the NTPF.

Indigenous Territorians have long criticised police behaviour, arguing racism in the force has been well known and tolerated.

Kumanjayi Walker's cousin, Samara Fernandez-Brown, told National Indigenous Times earlier this year the existence of racism in the NT Police was something Indigenous community members had long known, and had been making repeated complaints about for years.

"For us, it has been something that has existed forever," Ms Fernandez-Brown said.

The allegations of racism emerged publicly in February whilst former NT Constable Zach Rolfe gave evidence at the inquest of Kumanjayi Walker.

Mr Rolfe, who shot and killed Mr Walker but was found not guilty of all charges, told the inquest the elite TRG gave racist mock awards to members who displayed the most "Aboriginal-like behaviour"—referred to as "c--n of the year" or "Nugedah" award.

Senior officers denied the claim, with NT Police lawyer Ian Freckleton tendering four statements from senior officers in the TRG who rejected the claims, saying no such award existed.

"There is no such award and never has been," Senior Sergeant Meacham King said in a statement.

"None of the awards have any connotations to race."

Mr Rolfe produced three certificates - allegedly awarded to TRG members – including one printed on an Aboriginal flag.

Further revelations revealed a racist game of monopoly from 2008, with every square on the board marked "go to jail".

In September, the Department of Public Prosecutions said there wasn't enough evidence to charge any of the five officers who denied the allegations by Mr Rolfe, with Ms Kelly describing the decision as "reasonable if not inevitable".

She said: "There is no admissible evidence of any conduct of the five named police officers which warrants any further investigation of any potential charge against them."

However, Ms Kelly noted some statements from the five officers contradicted one another, especially in reference to the "origin and meaning of the 'Nugedah' award".

She also cited statements from Commissioner Riches in May this year that the certificates from 2007, 2013 and 2015 "are evidently on their face racist".

"It is difficult to conclude how any person of reasonable intelligence could conclude otherwise," Ms Kelly said.

In a statement after the OICAC findings, Police Commissioner Michael Murphy said the NTPF was making, and would continue to make, strides in driving institutional change.

"We are committed to creating and delivering on a culture of safety, integrity, accountability, and professionalism. There is no place for racism or discrimination within our ranks," he said.

Earlier this year at the Garma festival he apologised to Aboriginal Territorians for the "the past harms and the injustices caused by members of the Northern Territory Police".
