Following extensive inquiries, a 44-year-old man - a senior constable attached to a specialist command – was issued with a court attendance notice today (Friday 12 September 2025), for 44 counts of dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception.
He is due to appear before Hornsby Local Court on Wednesday 29 October 2025.
The officer is currently suspended with pay, and his employment status is under review.
