Corruption boss questions absence of police integrity unit: ‘Continuing reduction in quality’
Queensland's corruption watchdog chief has raised concerns over the lack of a police integrity unit recommended four years ago. The Crime and Corruption Commission chair noted a troubling trend in the handling of complaints against police officers. Despite previous recommendations, the establishment of the unit has faced delays, prompting frustration among officials.
- ▪The integrity unit was recommended following an inquiry into police responses to domestic violence calls in 2022.
- ▪There were over 2100 complaints made to the Crime and Corruption Commission about police officers between July 2025 and March 2026.
- ▪The establishment of the integrity unit has been delayed for 42 months despite agreement from the police service and the union.
