The former de-facto wife of a respected 30-year policeman who shot himself at work has won a six-figure compensation payout from Victoria Police’s WorkCover insurer.

One of Sergeant Tony Van Gorp’s children will also receive compensation after police settled both claims before a contested County Court trial this week.

Sergeant Van Gorp died on March 22, 2010, at the Healesville Police Station five days after he was served with a notice of proposed dismissal for misconduct.

Then chief commissioner Simon Overland issued the notice after Sergeant Van Gorp, 47, was found to have received, stored and sent pornographic and inappropriate emails.

Gayle Shelley told Fairfax Media she was relieved the case was resolved, but was "extremely disappointed" that Mr Overland "elected to single Tony out so dramatically".

"Tony was a dedicated member of the Victoria Police Force for 30 years and we now want to honour the work that he did and the person who he was," she said.

A coroner later found that "everyone, including police colleagues, appeared to agree with (Sergeant Van Gorp) that the (notice) was ‘heavy handed’ for the behaviour he engaged in".

In his findings last May, published today by The Age for the first time, the coroner John Olle said that in the days before his death he was very well supported by family, friends and colleagues.

Sergeant Van Gorp had regarded his behaviour as stupid but thought the notice was "heavy handed", Mr Olle said.
