Almost $700,000 in taxpayer funds has been paid out between three dumped New South Wales police media executives over the past two years, and commissioner Karen Webb sacked a fourth controversial pick mid-appointment last month.

The $687,000 was shared between three public servants who worked as media and public affairs advisers to the commissioner since her appointment in February 2022.
