Stand down, Northern Region
A female senior constable from Northern Region has been stood down from official duty with the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and will be tasked to perform non-operational duties.
The officer is the subject of an investigation relating to Insecure Storage of Weapons and has been served a notice to appear in the Townsville Magistrates Court on July 9.
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.
