19/12/14 / Police Officer / Discreditable Conduct / Drink-drive offence whilst off duty / Misconduct Hearing - A final written warning was issued to remain on the officer’s personal file for 18 months. The present national approach in relation to drink-drive offences is that each case should be dealt with on its own merits. In this case there were specific mitigating factors which led the misconduct panel to the decision that a final written warning was appropriate. Without these mitigating factors (which were in place prior to the offence), dismissal would have been the appropriate sanction.
23.03.15 / Police Officer / Discreditable Conduct / Whilst off duty behaved in a disorderly manner and was disrespectful towards on-duty police officers. / Misconduct Meeting – A final written warning was issued to remain on file for 18 months.
