Officer charged – Northern Region 5 September, NSW

A police officer will face court next month following an investigation into an alleged neglect of duty.

In March 2020, an investigation was launched by Northern Region’s Professional Standards into the alleged mishandling of a report of a domestic violence-related incident.

Following extensive inquiries, investigators issued a Court Attendance Notice for neglect of duty to a 38-year-old female senior constable just after 3pm yesterday (Friday 4 September 2020).

The officer, who is attached to a command in the Northern Region, is due to appear before Newcastle Local Court on Thursday 15 October 2020.

The officer’s duty status is currently under review.
