Officer stood down in Southern Region, QLD

A 54-year-old male senior sergeant from the Southern Region has been stood down from official duty with the Queensland Police Service and will be tasked to perform non-operational duties, Queensland Police say.

The officer is the subject of an investigation relating to alleged fraud, disobeying directions, providing false and misleading information and failing to comply with policy whilst in the performance of his duty.

In keeping with our commitment to high standards of behaviour, transparency and accountability, we have undertaken to inform the public when an officer faces serious allegations of misconduct. This does not mean the allegations against the officer have been substantiated.
