A police officer has been dismissed without notice.
The officer, who was granted anonymity, was dismissed after a misconduct hearing, chaired by an independent legally qualified person, found that his conduct amounted to gross misconduct.
Our investigation found that the officer assaulted a man and pushed a child following a disagreement in a neighbour’s garden while he was off duty
The three-day hearing, which concluded last Thursday (6 June), found the officer had breached the standard relating to discreditable conduct.
The officer will be placed on the national College of Policing’s Barred List, preventing him from working within policing and other law enforcement bodies.
Deputy Chief Constable Jon Roy said: “The actions of the officer that day were unacceptable. The public deserves the highest possible standards from our officers whether they are on or off duty.
“We will continue to take robust action against any officer or member of staff that doesn’t act with the highest standards of integrity, both in and outside of the workplace."
