NT police officer charged with 31 offences

The officer was also charged with weapons, firearms and wildlife offences after police searched his house on Thursday.

He is due to face Darwin Local Court on September 22.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Michael White would not confirm the name of the officer, who has been suspended without pay.

"The matter is now before the court," Mr White said.

"It will be alleged by police that the actions of this officer had undermined the integrity of the Northern Territory police and the community of the Northern Territory."

Mr White said the investigation into the charges of attempts to pervert the course of justice and the destruction of evidence was ongoing.
