A senior Tasmania Police officer has been sacked following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct at a work event.
The force's Professional Standards division began investigating the senior police inspector after receiving internal complaints over the officer's alleged conduct at a Christmas function with colleagues in Hobart in December 2023.
Police Commissioner Donna Adams dismissed the inspector after no longer having confidence in their suitability to continue as a police officer.
"The Tasmanian community has high expectations of its policing service, and we are entrusted with significant powers to perform our duties to keep people safe," Ms Adams said.
"The conduct of every police officer can impact on the community's confidence in police to deliver this service."
