NSW Police Probe: Senior Officers' Careers at Risk
26 Jan
Summary
- Four senior NSW police officers face career uncertainty.
- Allegations involve services from a Sydney brothel owner.
- Investigation focuses on decade-old CCTV footage.
The careers of four high-ranking NSW police officers are uncertain amid allegations they received services from a Sydney brothel owner allegedly involved in drug running. The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) is reportedly conducting a probe, with sources indicating it centers on CCTV footage from approximately ten years ago at a Camperdown brothel.
Multiple senior officers were allegedly filmed at the venue, Stiletto, and provided with free services. The owner at the time was Eddie Hayson, who is currently awaiting trial for drug supply charges. However, there is no suggestion Hayson is connected to the LECC investigation or provided the services, nor that the allegations against the officers are true.
The officers involved hold critical roles, granting them access to secure police files and involvement in major investigations. Their positions also necessitate partnerships with other law enforcement agencies, both domestic and international, which rely on trust and information sharing. Concerns have been raised within the police force about the potential reputational damage should the officers be stood down prematurely.
