Officer X
A misconduct hearing has concluded that Officer X, a former Detective Constable at the City of London Police, did breach standards of professional behaviour.
There were two allegations made against Officer X and the misconduct panel made findings that all allegations amounted to gross misconduct.
Detective Superintendent and Head of Professional Standards Department Carly Humphreys said:
“The findings of the misconduct panel relate to drug allegations, that Mr Officer X, whilst off duty, breached our standards of professional Discreditable Conduct and Duties and Responsibilities.”
“Trust and confidence in policing is essential. We take every action necessary to maintain our professional standards and expect all officers and staff to serve with honesty and integrity.
“The behaviours and actions evidenced in this hearing will not be tolerated by the City of London Police, and Mr Officer X will now be added to the police barred list, preventing him from ever working in policing again."
The misconduct panel found Mr Officer X guilty of gross misconduct and provided an outcome of dismissal, had Mr Officer X still been a serving officer. Officer X resigned from the force in early 2024.
The outcome of the hearing will mean Mr Officer X is added to the police barred list, which will prevent him from re-entering the police service or joining other policing bodies.
