The judge was clear in his criticism, saying that the police chief`s actions were incomprehensible and legally unreasonable and did not respect procedural fairness.

[29] The results of the police searches and interrogations are kept confidential, but come less than a year after a CMC report stated that another large cohort of officers from the altruistic QPUE section are being trained this week to care for their members and advocate in their workplaces. The entire QPUE industry team was also on hand to thank Phil Lynagh, retired branch representative and former branch representative of the year, who facilitated today`s class.

The service was accused of institutional racism after fiercely supporting Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley, who was on trial for the attack and manslaughter of Mulrunji Doomadgee in 2004. Senior Sergeant Hurley was first the subject of a coronation by Christine Clements, where it was determined that he had a cause to answer despite conflicting medical evidence. The director of the prosecutor`s office, Leanne Clare, refused to try Senior Sergeant Hurley for lack of evidence. After reviewing the evidence, the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) also determined that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any wrongdoing. [19] Queensland Attorney General Kerry Shine ordered a review, although Attorney General Walter Sofronoff, QC, pointed to the lack of evidence. A review by the former Chief Justice of New South Wales, Sir Laurence Street, revealed that there was a case that needed to be answered. Senior Sergeant Hurley was found not guilty by a jury at the Supreme Court in Townsville and the results of the coronial hearing were later overturned by the Queensland District Court. The District Court ruled that the coroner`s finding.” was contrary to the weight of evidence.” [20] The Criminal Justice Commission was established in 1989 by the Queensland Criminal Justice Act 1989 after the Fitzgerald Inquiry revealed widespread corruption among senior Queensland politicians and police officers.

In 1950, the service had 2,030 police officers, 10 female police officers and 30 trackers.

In February 1951, a central communication room was established within the Criminal Investigation Department in Brisbane. [8] In 2013, following a change of government, another department called the Commercial Agency for Public Safety was created. This was done in response to a recommendation from the Keelty Review of Policing and Community Safety Operations. [14] Human resources, information technology and other government departments were transferred from the service and other departments to the new agency. In mid-2016, some services were put back into service.
