A 52-year-old recruit constable has been dismissed from the Northern Territory Police following serious breaches of discipline under the Police Administration Act 1978.
After allegations that he made racist remarks on repeated occasions the officer was served a show cause letter to explain why his probationary appointment should not be terminated.
Following consideration of all information, the recruit was dismissed on Friday August 16.
Deputy Commissioner Martin Dole said, “Racist conduct will not be tolerated within the Northern Territory Police. Our members are fully empowered to report any such conduct, and swift actions are taken when it is discovered.
“This dismissal reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and respect within our ranks.”
“An internal investigation was promptly launched after the allegations were made, leading to the officer’s dismissal.
“This action highlights the NT Police’s dedication to upholding its values and ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all.”
