'Room for improvement': Racism and sexism not widespread in Queensland police, union boss says

The majority of Queensland police officers do not engage in sexist behaviour and are "doing the right thing each and every day", the head of the police union has told an inquiry.

"I believe across the board it's small pockets [of sexism and misogyny]," Mr Leavers told the inquiry."For every one incident that takes place, there are hundreds of positive stories which are out there."Sadly, there are a very small percentage who are doing the wrong thing who tarnish the rest of us.The inquiry into Queensland police responses to domestic and family violence calls began in August.

"I do think it needs to be called out, it needs to be addressed but we need to dive deeper as to why it is occurring and what can be done as we move into the future. Mr Leavers initially dismissed former Court of Appeal president Margaret McMurdo's landmark report thatIn a written submission to the inquiry in July, Mr Leavers wrote there was no "widespread" cultural problem in how officers respond to domestic violence incidents.

What about violence and corruption?

It must be hell being a police officer.

BS!

The only bad union is a police union.

'police have no issue' says police officer

how come they haven't forced the Police Commissioner to resign? she knew all about it and did nothing

Case closed... Now stop looking.

Yeah sure…

Ah well, case closed then.

Film it with your phone and show the world (if true). Otherwise it is all hearsay.

Says the white middle aged male 🙄

🤣🤣🤣 that's a good one. Leavers must be working up his comedy act for the next police talent show night.

Says ABC, a fan of peterdutton, an ex- QLD cop whose humanitarian stance with refugees in detention was clearly racist hometobilo

Interesting given all the evidence to the contrary.

Umm products of reason New reasoning is found that way .

Yeah right

The usual problem is wokism and it’s rife.

Leftists always digging 'racism and sexism'

Bullshit.
