NT Police have today terminated the employment of a 35-year-old Police Officer following an internal investigation by the Ethical and Professional Standards Command.

The Officer was suspended on full pay on 14 March 2011 while an internal investigation remained underway following allegations of serious misconduct in relation to breaches of departmental policy and standards on a number of occasions.

The Officer has been dismissed on the grounds of 'public interest' in accordance with Section 78 of the Police Administration Act and follows the conclusion of the internal investigation which commenced in late 2010.

It should made clear however, that this dismissal is the result of serious misconduct in relation to departmental policy and is not subject to criminal charges.

This information is provided in accordance with the NT Police transparency guidelines and no further information will be provided including details that may lead to the identification of the Officer.
