The Commissioner of Police has dismissed a Sergeant from the Tasmania Police Service.

The Southern District Sergeant was dismissed on 14 August 2015, after an internal investigation.

The investigation established that the Sergeant breached the Police Service Act Code of Conduct on numerous occasions, relating to conflicts of interest and investigative practices.

During the investigation the Sergeant initially performed non-operational duties, and was then suspended from duty on full pay.

No further comment will be made.
