The Queensland Police Union has called for officers involved in a buck's night nude run to be spared from sacking, saying people understand wedding parties can get wild.

The police service's ethical standards command is investigating a report from a woman who witnessed two men run naked around a bus stopped at traffic lights in Brisbane's east on Sunday.

When police checked the bus's registration, they realised it was an unmarked police vehicle.

The officers on board were from an elite squad, and were celebrating a buck's night.

Deputy Commissioner Ian Stewart said on Monday that other officers on board the bus may have been naked.

Both the nude run and the use of two police vehicles is being investigated, and the officers could face criminal charges, as well as disciplinary action ranging from a caution to sacking.
