The son of missing north Queensland police officer Senior Sergeant Mick Isles (illustrated) says he has been inundated with tales of bullying and intimidation within the Queensland Police Service since taking his father's story public.
Steven Isles on Saturday used a Facebook page dedicated to finding his father to issue a call to police across Queensland and interstate to come forward and "eradicate" a police culture of "victimisation and bastardisation".
He said more than a dozen serving and former police officers had already come forward to share their stories, but most were reluctant to go public because of fears of recrimination.
"The thing that we lack as police is the ability to stand up and tell our story because the culture dictates that as soon as you stand up you become a target," he told AAP on Sunday.
"The overwhelming number of people coming to me are saying that we want to unite and we want to talk but their nerves are very raw."
Steven Isles, who is employed as a police officer in the Northern Territory, said the internal culture of the police service had become more toxic since the Fitzgerald Inquiry into police corruption.
"The Fitzgerald Inquiry actually drove this culture further underground and it's actually worse today than it ever was before," he said.
Sen Sgt Isles, the officer in charge of Ayr police station, south of Townsville, has been missing since September 23.
The highly respected officer, described by former colleagues as "straighter than straight" had returned to work two days early following 13 months of investigations by the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMA) and the police into allegations he was involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
All allegations were dismissed. (Because the implications would be far greater if the people were exposed, corpau)
Sen Sgt Isles' supporters say the delay in finalising the investigation and his treatment by senior police took a heavy toll on him and led to his disappearance.
The CMC last week blamed the delay in finalising the investigation of Sen Sgt Isles' refusal to speak to the corruption watchdog, though his family says he was willing to co-operate with investigators.
It is a FACT rather than a figment of Stephen Isles' imagination, that there ARE police involved in Drug Trafficking, money laundering, extortion in prostitution, organised car thefts, BUT these are generally swept under the table.
'Certain' members of the police force are on the payroll of criminal gangs. This is a FACT.
The judicial system dismisses these allegations, as the corruption is MUCH higher up the political ladder, and it is only if you have become uncomfortable that you make the headlines:
