Victoria Police employees must always act fairly, objectively without favour or affection to maintain public trust by being honest, open and transparent.
Any offer of a gift, benefit or hospitality to a Victoria Police employee naturally has strict rules to ensure employees avoid conflicts of interest. We must maintain high levels of integrity and public trust.
Read the Gifts, benefits and hospitality policy
Our Gifts, benefits and hospitality policy supports behaviour consistent with our Police Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Victorian Public Sector Employees of Special Bodies.
We are required to align to and publish the Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Policy on a public website, as per the Victoria Public Sector Commission framework requirements.
