Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley, 47, appeared briefly in the Southport Magistrates Court on Tuesday on two assault charges, including one against a female police officer.

Hurley is accused of pushing the officer, who was on duty at the time, at Robina last month and has also been charged with assaulting a man in November 2013.
Bail was continued on the condition he doesn't speak to three prosecution witnesses.

The matter was adjourned until May 10 at the request of Hurley's lawyer, Calvin Gnech, from the Queensland Police Union.

Hurley refused to comment outside court.
