A Senior Constable from the South Eastern Region has been dismissed from the Queensland Police Service as a result of disciplinary proceedings conducted by Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski.
The officer, a 41 year-old man was the subject of a disciplinary hearing where allegations of serious misconduct were found to be substantiated. The conduct included:
• committing acts of domestic violence;
• making abusive and threatening telephone calls;
