In this explosive episode of Badge of Betrayal, a former Tasmania Police officer who worked alongside Reynolds speaks publicly about the culture they witnessed firsthand. They describe allegations of bullying, intimidation and a workplace where many were too afraid to speak up.

The former officer also shares why they believe Reynolds was treated differently to others, raising serious questions about whether he was a protected figure within the organisation and how that may have influenced accountability.

This is a confronting firsthand account that sheds new light on the culture surrounding one of Tasmania Police's most controversial figures—and asks whether the system failed those who tried to challenge it.

Listener discretion is advised. The views expressed by interviewees are their own. Allegations discussed are presented as claims and opinions unless otherwise established by evidence or official findings.

A Parliamentary Inquiry has now been established into Tasmania Police's responses to allegations of officer misconduct, including the handling of the Paul Reynolds matter.

The Committee is inviting submissions from members of the public, current and former police officers, victims, witnesses and anyone with information relevant to the inquiry. Submissions close on 4 September 2026.
