The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission has released a damning report about the high-ranking officer, who allegedly crashed his work car in Sydney’s NorthConnex tunnel.
The NSW Police watchdog says a high-ranking member of the force, whose name will be kept secret for 40 years, engaged in “serious misconduct” after he allegedly had more than 20 alcoholic drinks and crashed his work car in Sydney’s NorthConnex tunnel.
The inspector was charged with high-range drink-driving and driving under the influence, but NSW Police used secret evidence to suppress the inspector’s name to the letters “AB” for 40 years. AB then was seen on footage at a second hotel consuming “a further three mixed spirit drinks”, the document says.
“The favourable treatment led to other police officers losing confidence in the integrity of the NSW Police Force.” Operation Harrisdale also investigated allegations of both interference in the investigation into AB and claims of a “cover-up” by senior police.But the NSW Police media unit, which frequently releases alerts each time any officer is charged, failed to put out any statement related to AB.Senior police told the LECC that was an innocent mistake that “damaged the reputation” of the force.
