Bad boys: why rookie police ar
ROOKIE police officers in NSW are doing more than their fair share when it comes to misbehaving, a study has found.
Probationary constables - those in their first year - make up 7 per cent of the force but are responsible for almost 12 per cent of allegations of off-duty misconduct.
The research paper, released by the Police Integrity Commission, found that rookies were also the most likely to have a complaint against them substantiated and to face disciplinary action such as counselling, a reduction in rank or even the sack.

Queensland police protected bi
A former police informant says law enforcement agencies are failing to stop crimes by outlaw motorcycle gangs because of petty jealousies among some of Australia's police forces.
The convicted fraudster alleges the Australian Crime Commission tried to investigate murders, assaults and drug activities within the Bandidos motorcycle club but the Queensland police refused permission for sting operations.
The man - who does not want to be named - told Channel Nine that in one case bikies were confident of getting away with murder because the victim was from Victoria, the body dumped in New South Wales, and the murderer from Queensland.
He says he would not provide information to police again.
"They won't do anything, they won't communicate with each other," he said.
"Some people may see me as being quite flippant about the whole thing, but it's not like that. They don't talk to each other, they just don't."
The man also claimed he saw Queensland police officers warning gang members of impending raids.
"I've been there," he said. "I've seen it, I've heard it with my own ears. I was standing there on one occasion when a police officer was saying it."
Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) says it is aware of the allegations but will not comment further.
The Queensland Police Service says the man is well known to them and is facing serious criminal charges.
It says it supports investigations into whether the claims are true and will assist the CMC.
The Australian Crime and Misconduct Commission meantime denies it provided information to a Queensland newspaper that compromised the man.
