The report released by Crime and Misconduct Commission chairman Robert Needham yesterday implicated 25 officers ranging from constables to an inspector in multiple allegations of police misconduct.
The allegations relate to the use and management of police informants, who were given benefits, including cash, unsupervised leave from jail and phone calls in return for confessions and evidence.
Mr Needham said he decided to make the report public because he did not have faith in the police service to accurately inform the officers of the findings.
Of the 25 officers implicated in the report, three have been charged with offences, including perjury and giving false evidence, one was dismissed, six resigned or retired, and 11 were given "managerial guidance".
I've always hoped Mr Atkinson's somewhat vague, almost bemused, demeanour was, um, deceptive.http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25822876-952,00.html
Police corruption could run deeper as report slams force
The inept, bothered, and bewildered Police Chief when interviewed by Madonna King on ABC this morning presented the figure of a nice guy who was way out of his depth.
Of the 25 cops that were charged, those who retired or resigned will not have the charges pursued. The will also be allowed to collect their superannuation payments. It doesn't send a very good message to the honest cops.

I know a fair few police in Queensland, and the job they have to do dealing with, scum, politicians, lawyers, judges and the CMC is not an enviable one.

Doesn't this thing happen every couple of years or so? Not necessarily in QLD but also other states. Roger Rogerson ex NSW detective and many of his cohorts (Ray Kelly and Fred Krahe) were caught red handed.
The thin blue line is getting thinner at an alarming rate.

90% plus of cops make it safe for all to sleep at night.
Qld police corruption should be stamped out immediately, and put back where it belongs - at the political level!
Goodness gracious me - don't you worry about that ....and ...uhh you can lead a horse to drink but you cannot make it water.
Sometimes I miss the 80's
