Integrity in the Queensland Police Service: Implementation and Impact of the Fitzgerald Inquiry Reforms

This report is concerned with those recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry into Possible Illegal Activities and Associated Police Misconduct (referred to as 
‘Fitzgerald Inquiry’) which were directed towards improving the police complaints and discipline process and enhancing police integrity in Queensland.

Key questions addressed are:  

• To what extent have the reforms proposed by the Fitzgerald Inquiry been implemented?  

What impact have these reforms had on:

• the efficiency and effectiveness of processes for dealing with complaints against police and public confidence in those processes?
• the public standing of the QPS generally?
• standards of police behaviour and the incidence of corrupt conduct?
• police attitudes towards reporting misconduct by other officers?
