Exclusive: The CCC has advocated for an integrity model that would only investigate the most serious complaints against officers
In April, the CCC organised for external consultants to run a high-level meeting to consider three possible police integrity models. In attendance were representatives from the CCC, Queensland police, Department of Premier and Cabinet, Queensland Treasury, the Queensland ombudsman, the Together Union and experts.
“Category B” offences – which include theft, fraud, misconduct, discrimination, harassment, bullying and sexist, misogynistic, racist and homophobic behaviour – could be investigated by either police or the PIU. All “category C” offences would be investigated by police. “Now it seems to be reneging on that commitment by trying to salvage as much of the old system as possible. This is the system of police investigating police, with limited oversight by the CCC, which the Richards commission and other reviews found to be a complete failure.”, referring the majority of matters back to Queensland police for internal review.
