Police officers to stand trial on drugs charges Three Melbourne police officers and a former colleague have been ordered to stand trial on drugs and money laundering charges.

Detective Senior Constable Ian Ferguson, Detective Senior Constable Glen Sadler and former Detective Sergeant Steven Cox are facing numerous drugs charges including trafficking heroin.

It is alleged the suspended officers conspired with a police informer to traffic 10 kilograms of heroin and that Ferguson's wife, Senior Constable Joanne Ferguson, laundered the proceeds of the crime.

The Melbourne Magistrates Court has ordered them to stand trial in the Supreme Court.

Magistrate Lisa Hannon dismissed drugs charges against Mrs Ferguson, leaving her to face only the money laundering counts.

It is alleged money was put into bank accounts which were in her maiden name and a BMW and properties were also registered to her.

All four have pleaded not guilty and have been released on bail.
