A Queensland police officer has been charged with the murder of his baby son in 2014.
Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski confirmed on Saturday the 38-year-old senior constable had been taken into custody on Saturday following a protracted investigation.
He said the two-month-old boy had died of "significant" injuries at a Victoria Point home on June 28, 2014.
The officer was not on duty at the time of the alleged murder.
The man has been suspended from duty since the investigation was launched after his son's death.
Police charged the man following a joint investigation by the Child Trauma Task Force within the Child Safety and Sexual Crime Group, State Crime Command and the Ethical Standards Command.
He is expected to appear in court on Monday to face the murder charge.
