An independent "cultural review" into inappropriate behaviour by Gold Coast police officers should be finished in the next few weeks, but might not be made public.

Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said the review by an external consultant was prompted by a spike in reports of bad behaviour in the region.

"From time to time we become aware of conduct of officers which does not meet our standards," Commissioner Stewart said.

"On the Gold Coast we've had a number of those in recent months."

Some of the allegations include bullying and homophobic behaviour.

"We know that some of those allegations are true because these are not incidents that have happened in the last couple of weeks," Commissioner Stewart said.

"These are incidents that have happened over time and they've been reported and some of them have been investigated."

Commissioner Stewart said the overall number of complaints against officers was trending downwards.

He said a decision would have to be made about whether or not to publicly release the results of the review.

"There's going to be privacy issues, this is not like a normal discipline review," he said.

"This is very much about personal feelings, it's about individuals who've potentially been targeted by other officers."

In April, the ABC revealed two complaints had been lodged with the Anti-Discrimination Commission about senior officers at the Coolangatta Police Station.

In one incident an Indigenous officer was referred to as an "Abor" on a roster written by the officer in charge of the station.

The senior sergeant also wrote the word "gay" next to the name of another officer on the same roster.
