Andrew Jacks

A misconduct hearing, held on 29 and 30 September, has concluded that Andrew Jacks, a police constable with the City of London Police, breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to the areas of authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct.

The misconduct panel, convened in line with Police Regulations, found this amounted to gross misconduct and concluded that he be given a final written warning, lasting 5 years.

The allegations related to posts published by the officer on his personal X account between the period April 2012 and June 2022.

Chief Superintendent and Head of Professionalism and Trust for the City of London Police, Sanjay Andersen, said:

“This misconduct case is a direct result of our highly improved and continuous re-vetting processes in place for all serving police officers and police staff.

“The panel, which is convened in line with Police Regulations, found that in posting his tweets, regardless of being off duty and using a private account, this officer showed a lack of respect and courtesy toward parts of our community. He used offensive and unacceptable language of a misogynistic and homophobic nature.

“His conduct does not reflect the professional standards we expect, and he has been given a final written warning that will remain in place for a full five years.”
