Charges for former drug squad officers
July 12 2002
Members of Victoria Police's troubled drug squad were expected to be charged in coming months as an internal corruption investigation intensifies.
Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon today confirmed a corruption taskforce would be expanded to include extra investigative officers, a barrister and an accountant.
Operation Ceja, overseen by the state Ombudsman, was set up six months ago in the wake of the theft of drugs and firearms from the unit and the conviction of former drug squad member Kevin Hicks on burglary, bribery and trafficking charges.
At a media conference today, Ms Nixon refused to specify how many officers were under investigation, but said the subjects of the probe were "primarily" members of the now-disbanded drug squad.
None of the officers under investigation have yet been stood down.
Ms Nixon said allegations of corruption, extortion and on-selling of drugs were being investigated.
"We believe that there could be charges laid out of those investigations," she said.
Ms Nixon said she didn't believe a Royal Commission was necessary as the taskforce had sufficient powers to uncover the full extent of the corruption.
"I want to assure the community that we believe we are across this matter," she said.
Ms Nixon also defended the work of the new Major Drug Investigation Division, which has arrested 182 people in the past year and shut down 27 clandestine drug laboratories.
Earlier, Victoria Police Association assistant secretary Bruce McKenzie said drug traffickers were running riot in the state as the Ceja investigation dragged on.
At today's press conference, Ms Nixon admitted she was concerned that defence barristers were using the Ceja investigation to get their clients off.
The police commissioner also dismissed reports a new unit at Melbourne's Port Phillip Prison was being built specifically for corrupt police officers.
