The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC)'s 2023-24 annual report reveals six complaints against Island police officers resulting in disciplinary action. Four complaints involved the Victoria Police Department (VicPD), with two officers facing dismissal for serious misconduct including filming a prisoner masturbating and lying about military service records.
Police officers in Victoria were disciplined for swearing at an officer during a traffic stop, filming a prisoner masturbating in a cell and lying about their military service records among other acts of misconduct, according to a report by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner.
Three substantiated reasons for dismissal were found in the case of a VicPD officer who showed another officer video of a person who appeared to be masturbating inside a VicPD cell in 2021 and then repeatedly lied about it in a subsequent investigation, the report said. Another VicPD officer who wore several military ribbons — including a Meritorious Service Medal — in 2021 was found to have falsified his military record. The report said the officer’s supervisor became suspicious about the medals after hearing the officer’s account of how they were earned.
The OPCC report said both officers will have the dismissal written into their service records despite their resignations. The OPCC report also noted that the officer engaged in “bullying behaviour” toward more junior officers and would discuss performance issues with officers while they were in public situations.
