Misconduct hearing outcome for former Police Sergeant L

On 1 to 2 June 2026 a misconduct hearing was held relating to a former officer whereby it is alleged there was a failure to meet standards under the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020.

The case arose from allegations that whilst on duty, after being requested to move their personal vehicle from a restricted parking area, used words to a member of the public which were both threatening and unprofessional in their content. The hearing was held in public.

The officer did not accept that the conduct alleged amounted to gross misconduct.

Having considered the cases put forward by the presenting and defending counsels, the panel found the case proven to be one of misconduct. As a former officer, no further action was taken.

They considered that the officer’s conduct had breached the standards of professional behaviour relating to discreditable conduct.
