A serving British Transport Police (BTP) officer has been dismissed without notice from the force following a public misconduct hearing.
On Thursday, June 10, the officer attended a misconduct hearing where he answered allegations that he breached the standards of professional behaviour, namely honesty and integrity and discreditable conduct. The independent panel found that his actions amounted to gross misconduct.
Detective Superintendent Peter Fulton, Head of BTP’s Professional Standards Department, said: “the officer actions were completely inexcusable, and there is no doubt he has brought discredit on the service. The public expect our officers to uphold the law and protect them from harm, and the officer has undermined this confidence. I support the decision of the independent panel to dismiss him with immediate effect.”
