Police clamp down on officers'
Prompted by fears of corruption, Victorian police chiefs are set to crack down on thousands of officers who work second jobs.

Police who work outside the force will be listed on a central register aimed at keeping a closer eye on their activities.

The move follows revelations in The Sunday Age last month that up to half of the state's 11,000 police officers may have second jobs and be at risk of conflicts of interest.

WA Police Minister sacks offic

The Western Australian Police Minister has signed off on the sacking of a female officer for disclosing confidential information which potentially compromised a cold case review into the murder of Pamela Lawrence.

The fresh inquiry was launched last year after the High Court overturned the conviction of Andrew Mallard.

The Senior Constable was stood down last November for allegedly telling her husband, a former police officer, about a palm print found at the Mosman Park jewellery store where Ms Lawrence was found dead in 1994.

The print belonged to prisoner Simon Rochford who police probably would have charged with the murder.

However the new information was leaked to the media and Rochford committed suicide a short time later.

Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan says the Senior Constable was sacked because she allegedly lied to internal investigators.

"We allege the officer misled internal investigators on three occasions and I've made it quite clear to the people in WA Police that if they mislead an internal investigator we will take some quite significant action," he said.

"What I demand of all of my officers is integrity and if they breach that integrity then they breach their right to be a police officer.

"We have to have a high level of integrity in our internal investigations for the public to maintain confidence in what we do."

The officer can appeal against the decision in the Industrial Relations Commission.
