A Detective Sergeant from the State Crime Command has today been stood down from official duty with the Queensland Police Service.

The 36-year-old female officer is the subject of an allegation of driving a private motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, whilst off 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 disciplinary processes involving stand down or suspension.

This does not mean that the allegations against the officer have been substantiated.

The Detective Sergeant appeared in the Petrie Magistrates Court today.
