Northern Territory Police are taking action against an Alice Springs detective sergeant over his resignation letter to Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker and a speech he made at a COVID-19 freedom rally, which they say were breaches of the police code of conduct.
Detective Sergeant Leith Phillips, who has chosen to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and is a 24-year veteran of the force, sent his resignation letter to Chalkner on Thursday, Dec. 2, stating that his last day would be Jan. 3. However, he was “kicked out” of Alice Springs police station on Dec. 3, while collecting his possessions, NT Independent reported.
