Rolfe was sacked on Tuesday,a spokeswoman for the force confirmed.
“A 31-year-old male police officer has been dismissed from the Northern Territory Police Force effective April 4,2023,” she said in a statement.
“The officer was dismissed under section 78 of the Police Administration Act 1978 due to serious breaches of discipline during their policing career.”
Despite the outcome of the murder trial,Rolfe became the subject of a wide-rangingcoronial inquest into Walker’s death,vehemently fighting calls to give evidence during the proceedings.
A coroner heard Rolfe used “blatantly” racist language in text messages with colleagues and allegedly used heavy-handed tactics when arresting some Indigenous Territorians,triggering several internal investigations.
Rolfe left Australia in February after writing an open letter defending his character and criticising the NT Police Force and its commissioner for how they handled the inquest.
