A SENIOR policeman has been charged with allegedly having sex with a woman at a police station - and allowing her to handle his Glock pistol.

Kingscliff area supervisor Sergeant Mark Garner will face Lismore Local Court in March charged with police misconduct and weapons charges.

It is alleged the 48-year-old was on duty at Kingscliff station, on the far north coast, on September 16, 2011 when he had "sexual intercourse with a female at a police station whilst on duty, involving the misuse of a prohibited pistol" - his police-issue Glock.

It will be alleged the woman, a prostitute and mental health patient, was being interviewed by police at the station between 2am and 4am that day. The case centres on alleged photo evidence of the incident, taken by the woman on her mobile phone.

Detectives were alerted in late 2011 and Sgt Garner was charged on November 29 after an internal investigation by the Professional Standards Command.

He has been stood down, pending an outcome of proceedings. He did not appear at Tweed Local Court yesterday and his solicitor Russell Baxter told Magistrate Michael Dakin he was instructed not to enter a plea on behalf of his client to charges of police misconduct, possession of an unauthorised pistol and allowing an unauthorised person to possess his police weapon.

Mr Baxter asked for the case to be moved to Lismore Local Court where it would likely progress quickly to the District Court and into the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
