Summary
This publication serves as a reminder that lessons learned gradually diminish with the passage of time and generational change. It is inevitable that as time passes, ‘slippage’ in the ethical standards of the police will occur. The attention in this report is paid to the actions of honest officers who refused to be drawn into misconduct, actively warned against it, and did not allow themselves to be manipulated by a criminal. Behaviour such as theirs, which seeks to prevent and discourage misconduct, is what the people of Queensland have the right to expect from their police officers.
