Deputy Commissioner Paul Taylor has announced his immediate resignation, over a lewd  comment allegedly made at a police leadership conference.

The comment was revealed as part of evidence heard in the Commission of Inquiry into Queensland Police Service Responses to Domestic and Family Violence.

It was revealed at the inquiry that a senior police officer had made an inappropriate reference about a friend who’s a gynecologist.

In a statement this afternoon, Deputy Commissioner Taylor apologised for any harm caused, and said he had “given his heart and soul” to the force over 45 years.

“Yesterday, an incident I was involved in at a conference was brought to the attention of the Commission of Inquiry into QPS responses to domestic and family violence,” he said in a statement.

“I am devastated about the impact this has had on the reputation of the Service, because it does not reflect my values, nor those of the organisation.

“It was never my intention to offend anyone, and I am deeply apologetic for the harm it has caused. I was remorseful immediately after the incident, and the Commissioner addressed the matter with me soon after.”
