Revocation of stand down, Community Contact Command

A 39-year-old sergeant from the Community Contact Command stood down from official duty with the Queensland Police Service on 13 September 2017, has been returned to operational duties.

The officer was subject of an internal discipline investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate handling of a Service weapon and inappropriate dealings with colleagues and members of the public.

The matter has since been finalised with relevant managerial action completed.

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.
