This report provides an update on the implementation of the recommendations of Police and Drugs: A Report of an Investigation of Cases Involving Queensland Police Officers (1997), prepared by The Honourable W J Carter QC pursuant to section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1989.
Police and Drugs arose from investigations conducted under the general banner of Project Shield. These investigations focused on allegations that corrupt police were engaged in drug dealing, including the protection of organised criminal activity within the drug trade, and stealing legally confiscated drugs and drug-related money.
This follow-up report sets out the rationale for each recommendation made in Police and Drugs, indicates the action taken so far, and, where appropriate, records the comments of the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC).
