Australia: Detective resigns a
A SENIOR detective has resigned from Victoria Police amid allegations he tipped off another officer about a corruption inquiry.
The former detective sergeant, from the force's human source management unit, a unit that safeguards against the mismanagement or corrupt use of informers, is alleged to have informed another police officer about details of an Office of Police Integrity (OPI) investigation, Fairfax newspapers reported today.
The unnamed former detective is alleged to have warned an associate of the OPI's activities, a move a source told Fairfax was driven by poor judgment and “blind loyalty” rather than corrupt intent.
A Victoria Police spokesman yesterday confirmed the detective had resigned, but would not comment further. The OPI declined to comment.
The news comes as a high-level Victoria Police anti-corruption taskforce, codenamed Briar, is investigating allegations that a serving officer and a former policeman had ties to a contract killing during Melbourne's bloody underworld war.
Suspended Detective Sergeant Peter Lalor is alleged to have ties to the contract killing of male prostitute Shane Chartres-Abbott in 2003 at the height of Melbourne's bloody gangland war.
A Fairfax newspaper investigation said a hitman had told the taskforce that Det Sgt Lalor gave him the address of Chartres-Abbott.
Taskforce Briar is one of two units investigating connections between serving and former police officers and the underworld war.
Pressure is increasing on Victorian Premier John Brumby to call an independent royal commission into police corruption, with critics including the state opposition describing the OPI model as flawed.
