Police officer stood down – Operations Support Command

A 37-year-old female Senior Constable from Operations Support Command has today been stood down from official duty with the Queensland Police Service.

The officer is subject of a disciplinary investigation concerning allegations she, whilst off duty, stole a quantity of groceries from a retailer. The officer has been served with a Notice to Appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 2 February, 2016 on one charge of unlawfully taking away goods under Section 5 of the Regulatory Offences Act.

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 that the allegations against the officer have been substantiated.
