A Detective Chief Inspector from a specialist command has been charged with four offences under the Surveillance Devices Act.
Following a number of complaints, the Professional Standards Command commenced an investigation in 2018 overseen by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, into the conduct of the officer during the course of his operational duties.
Those inquiries disclosed a number of recordings allegedly made at locations in Parramatta and Kendall in New South Wales.
The 57 year old officer was issued with a Court Attendance Notice today and is due to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on 30 July 2019.
The officer’s immediate employment status is under review however he has previously submitted his resignation to the Commissioner of Police.
