Show Notes
Tasmania Police sees surge in serious complaints, with level three allegations, the most severe, reaching an all-time high of thirty-four this year. These allegations, which could lead to termination, have more than doubled since tracking began in 2023. The increase is evident, with thirteen in 2023, twenty-five in 2024, and now thirty-four in 2025. The complaints span various categories, including violence, child exploitation material, and drug matters. While many complaints are dismissed or result in no code breach, some lead to significant outcomes, such as firings, convictions, and criminal charges. Despite the increase, Deputy Commissioner Jonathan Higgins emphasizes that thorough investigations build trust. The Police Association acting president supports the process, acknowledging that complaints do not imply guilt. Meanwhile, updates on seven officers from the Weiss review into past mishandling of accused officer Paul Reynolds reveal child abuse charges, no prosecutions, dismissals, and restorative steps.
