Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll has said she may not renew her contract – bizarrely announcing the move in a series of text messages to reporters.
It comes after a tumultuous week where the commissioner has faced pressure from the ranks after a senior Gold Coast police officer was stood down.
It was claimed the officer helped catch armed offenders by authorising officers to ram a stolen car.
Queensland’s first female police commissioner will meet with Police Minister Mark Ryan on Tuesday to discuss her future.
Ms Carroll texted media outlets saying she is ‘considering her options’.
‘I have not had formal discussions with the Minister yet. Those conversations will start soon and I may not ask for an extension to my contract,’ she said.
‘I have been from G20 to the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service over 11 years at the highest level. I am seriously considering my options and one is not asking for an extension.’
