A police sergeant who allegedly performed Nazi salutes has been suspended on pay.
The people development command officer was suspended on Friday evening following allegations she performed a Nazi salute twice this week.
Both alleged occasions were in front of colleagues at the Victoria Police Academy on Tuesday and Wednesday while the officer was on duty.
The Professional Standards Command are investigating the incidents.
The officer has been suspended on pay.
A statement from a Victoria Police spokesperson said ‘it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment further at this time’ as the ‘matter is ongoing’.
The alleged incidents follow the banning of Nazi salutes, symbols and gestures in Victoria in October 2023.
The first person was found guilty of performing the banned gesture this week.
