The Queensland Council for Civil Liberties (QCCL) is calling on the State Police Minister to release all the details about an officer's suspension.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) issued a statement yesterday saying only that a 41-year-old senior constable in the Brisbane region had been stood down from duty for allegedly using excessive force.

Terry O'Gorman from QCCL says the statement provides next to no information.

"There are serious double standards here," he said.

"Here we have the skimpiest details that a police officer has been suspended because of excessive force.

"Two days ago a person was arrested and before they even hit court every possible detail of what the police were going to allege in court the police had released to the media even before this person's first court appearance."

QPS has declined to say what happened to prompt the officer's suspension and whether anyone was hurt.

Mr O'Gorman says police are not being up front and honest when it comes to one of their own facing accusations.

"This double standard of releasing almost non-existent information when police are the target of investigation ... has to stop," he said.

"We call on the Police Minister to immediately release the entire details of the allegations that this police officer is under investigation for."
