A SENIOR police officer has been sacked for smuggling booze into an alcohol-free community, dishonestly using property and giving police property to a private citizen

The Central Queensland senior sergeant, 44, was dismissed this morning.

An internal police review found he was dishonestly used property, trafficked alcohol into a community with a booze ban and gave police property to a private citizen.

While the details remain sketchy, police are expected to announce more details.

The sacking is the first for dishonest conduct this year.

It comes hot on the heels of a controversy marred 2010, in which multiple officers were suspended for drunken misconduct.

More serious breaches, including allegations of corruption inside Gold Coast police ranks were outlined in Operation Tesco.
