A police officer facing a vehicle theft charge was named in Noosa Magistrates Court on Tuesday 5 August.
Senior Constable Kieran Strongman, 34, who is based in the state’s north coast region, has been suspended from duty pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.
Mr Strongman has been charged with stealing of a vehicle, allegedly committed while off duty.
Magistrate Anna Smith adjourned the matter until Tuesday 2 September to allow the defence time to obtain a brief of evidence.
Police Prosecutor Phil Stephens told the court the prosecution was willing to provide any available witness statements to the defence.
Mr Strongman’s bail was enlarged.
In a statement, a Queensland Police Service spokesperson said: “In keeping with our commitment to high standards of behaviour, transparency and accountability, we have undertaken to inform the public when a member of the Service faces serious allegations of misconduct.”
“This does not mean that the allegations against the member have been substantiated.”
