Queensland Corrective Services officer suspended

A 47-year-old male Queensland Corrective Services officer was suspended from duty yesterday pending an investigation relating to an allegation of unauthorised use of force.

As a top-tier public safety agency, Queensland Corrective Services is committed to the highest standards of conduct, transparency and accountability. We expect the highest in professional and ethical behaviour from all our officers.

As the matter is currently subject to a disciplinary process, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.
