Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission received six domestic violence-related complaints about police officers within two weeks of allowing such matters to be treated as corruption instead of misconduct, an inquiry has been told.

One officer had allegations of strangulation and rape made against them, while another allegedly had access to child exploitation material, the commission of inquiry into Queensland police responses to domestic violence heard Monday.
