Simone Russell told whistleblower about misue of Police computer system

Carenne Special School whistleblower Karachi claims that she was told by Simone Russell, former administration manager of Carenne turned teacher's aide that her husband Scott, then sergeant of police at Portland had misused the COPS system for their own benefit.

Karachi says that when the Russells were looking at buying a house, Simone told her that she was lucky that Scott was a police officer because he could do address inquiries through the police computer system to see if the house had a known history or was in a bad area.

Karachi recalls Simone telling her about a house in West Bathurst, which she said had been used as a drug house.

Based on Karachi's claims, it would seem like Scott Russell breaches police policy in his use of the COPS system.
