Police officer sacked for sexual comments

A three-day hearing, which concluded at the end of November, found the officer had breached authority, respect and courtesy and exhibited discreditable conduct standards.

An investigation found he had asked colleagues inappropriate questions, and made comments of a sexual nature between July and August 2021 and in October 2021.

Deputy Chief Constable Jon Roy said the officer's behaviour was unacceptable and would not be tolerated.

Mr Roy said: "The officer treated his colleagues inappropriately and with an utter lack of respect or consideration.

"He's brought discredit on our force, as these are not the high standards we all expect."
