Professional Conduct

Download the NSW Police Force Code of Conduct and Ethics:

The NSW Police website has advice on how to complain about a police officer


Police officers must work within the law at all times,
and the ‘Standards of Professionalism’ remain -
regardless of the nature of the incident.


According to guidelines set out under ‘Standards of Professionalism’, officers must at all times treat everyone with respect, courtesy and fairness, and respond to any incident in a professional and objective manner – whether they approve of the behaviour or not.

There are also Anti-Discrimination laws in place that deal with any inappropriate or homophobic language and/or behaviour.


We regularly receives reports about incidents and conduct by officers that are in direct opposition to the Standards of Professional Conduct as stated in the NSW Police Force Code of Conduct and Ethics.

We have been assured that police undertake their duties in a professional manner… and we are unsure whether there may be ‘rogue’ officers operating outside of police standards, or if they are dutifully carrying out orders… and officers must report the misconduct of other officers – otherwise this may be considered as ‘police corruption’.

Police Management need to address this behaviour and not condone it through their inaction. They would be derelict in their duty if they turned a blind eye to serious police misconduct, which does little to promote trust, community faith and confidence in the NSW Police Force.
