1. Name of officer: Inspector 10649 McCall.
2. Date, time and venue of the hearing: Monday 2 December 2024 to Friday 6 December 2024 in the County Room, Kent Police Force Headquarters, Sutton Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9BZ starting at 10am.
3. The conduct and how that conduct is alleged to amount to gross misconduct: The case relates to an incident occurring in May 2023 whereby it is alleged the officer, whilst performing the role of a Tactical Firearms Commander, incorrectly deployed unarmed resources, failed to devise an adequate plan, did not provide sufficient briefing/instruction to deployed units and failed to adequately record their decision making.
Inspector McCall is alleged to have breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour relating to:
Duties and responsibilities
In that the officer was not diligent in the performance of their duties.
Orders and instructions
In that the officer failed to follow the relevant policies and procedures.
It is alleged that these matters individually and/or collectively amount to gross misconduct, namely a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour that, if proved, is so serious that Inspector McCall’s dismissal would be justified.
