Police investigate sergeant for making allegedly unprofessional comments towards two colleagues

28 July 2025

The Authority oversaw a Police employment process for a sergeant who made comments that upset colleagues on two separate occasions. The comments related to one colleague’s attempt to complete the Police physical competency test and to another colleague’s level of investigative experience.

Police carried a confidential employment process for the sergeant, and the complaints were not upheld.

The Authority is satisfied with the process undertaken by Police and agrees with the outcome reached.
