A senior New South Wales police officer is under investigation for failing to properly conduct a breath test on a driver in Narrandera. The officer admitted to his negligence, was subsequently charged, and has pleaded guilty. He is currently awaiting sentencing.
The incident prompted NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb to initiate an internal investigation. Webb expressed her disappointment over the officer’s actions and underscored the necessity of maintaining community confidence in law enforcement.
This case is compounded by another recent incident involving a high-ranking officer accused of driving drunk and crashing a work car. These events have intensified concerns about the integrity and reliability of law enforcement officials in New South Wales.
