Serving Essex Police officer, PC Georgie Bean of Fitzstephen Road, Dagenham, who was based in Basildon, has been found guilty of misconduct in a public office after a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, after having a sexual relationship with a woman who was the sole independent witness to an allegation of racially aggravated assault that he was in charge of investigating.
PC Georgie Bean was 'investigating' the assault allegation in October 2020. As a result, he met a woman who was a witness in the case. The following month he engaged in "intimate activity" with her.
"Bad apple" PC Georgie Bean has been sentenced to 50 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £1,200 in costs:

Another 'conspiracy':
7 February 2024: Serving Metropolitan Police officer, PC David Seager (P242323), who is based at Lewisham Police Station, is given a final written warning lasting five years by a misconduct panel having told a junior colleague that he wanted to squeeze her breasts and having sent another colleague a message saying that he wanted to ‘lick’ her ‘anus’.
PC David Seager told the misconduct panel: “All my partners in my adult life have been non-white. I embrace equality.
“I’ve never had more fun than I have serving for the Met. I’ve seen myself as a guiding light for the Met. I’ve had rows with people about how the Met is. I have always defended the Met.”
28 February 2024: Serving Metropolitan Police officer, PC David Seager (P242323) is dismissed without notice for gross misconduct after sending "highly offensive racist and misogynistic" texts to a woman, in the form of violent sexual threats to the woman, who he knew, between February and December 2020 while he was off-duty:

Yesterday, Metropolitan Police officer PC Adam Merriman, who is attached to a proactive team covering Barnet, Brent and Harrow, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with three counts of making an indecent image of a child, three counts of distributing an indecent image of a child, and resisting arrest.
PC Adam Merriman pleaded guilty to all seven offences and was remanded in custody to next appear at Southwark Crown Court for sentencing on a date to be confirmed:
Metropolitan Police officer admits child indecency charges
(Source: as stated in image)
The Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Professional Standards stated that they are aware of the case. Yesterday, PC Adam Merriman resigned from the Metropolitan Police. "Misconduct proceedings will now take place as soon as possible."
In 2017, PC Adam Merriman was acquitted of the harassment and assault of a woman known to him, fellow police officer Alex McLaren (his ex-girlfriend), following a trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. On that occasion, it was alleged that PC Adam Merriman had left a sex toy on his ex-girlfriend's car bonnet to "embarrass" her after she ended their relationship. Westminster Magistrates Court was told that he checked Miss McLaren’s phone and had found out that she had kissed another male police officer during a night out. PC Adam Merriman allegedly sent her a text message which read: "You don't know what I'm capable of." He also allegedly shoulder barged his former girlfriend when she was by her door.
An investigation was carried out by the Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Professional Standards who found a case to answer at the level of misconduct. In any event, PC Adam Merriman remained in the Metropolitan Police.

This is Sussex Police's PC Steven Austin, who is based at Eastbourne:
(Source: as stated in image)
At his misconduct hearing earlier today, it was claimed that while on duty on 23 November 2021, PC Steven Austin missed an emergency 999 call because he was having sex with his ex-girlfriend, having gone to his ex-girlfriend's home in the middle of the day despite being on shift. It is alleged that PC Steven Austin then had sex with his ex-girlfriend shortly after lunch and left the house after spending around an hour and a half with her.
But while PC Steven Austin was at the house, it is alleged that he failed to respond to an emergency call on his radio which concerned a store manager who had been repeatedly punched in the head after a robbery and was now chasing his assailant. Such an incident required an immediate police response as there could have been a danger to life, and another Sussex Police officer also tried four times to reach PC Steven Austin on his police radio with no response.
The formal charges are that PC Steven Austin:
(a) Attended a private property while on duty for about one hour and thirty two minutes with no policing purpose;
(b) Engaged in sexual relations with Female X there; and
(c) Failed to respond to a Grade 1 call while at the property.
PC Steven Austin's misconduct hearing continues.

When former firearms officer Rebecca Kalam won her sex discrimination case against West Midlands Police, the force said it had "worked hard to improve culture, standards and the working environment". But three officers who supported her complaints are themselves taking the force to tribunals, claiming they've been victimised for speaking up. And Rebecca Kalam says officers she reported for offensive and predatory behaviour haven't been held to account:

Sadly, the largely - but not exclusively - white supremacist practice of accusing people who are being restrained to death of not dying quietly enough while they are being killed is not new.

Could have sworn this lovely person had already appeared on this thread but it seems not. Perhaps I'm having (another) senior moment.
Former PC Isaque Rodrigues-Leite, who was convicted last November of four counts of false imprisonment, one count of criminal damage, two counts of assault by beating and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour, and sacked at a misconduct hearing last December, was jailed yesterday for two years and three months.
Met Police PC jailed for abuse that escalated after joining force - BBC News
The victim contacted the police in September 2020 and he was subsequently arrested and charged. His first court appearance was in January 2022 where he pleaded not guilty to all counts. His trial date was set for November 2022, but it didn't actually take place until November 2023. He was found guilty of eight offences but not guilty of three others (two more counts of false imprisonment and one count of making threats to kill). His sentencing hearing was set for January 16th but didn't happen until yesterday.
In December a misconduct hearing found that his "conduct amounted to a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour" and he was sacked without notice. I'd link to the page about the hearing on the Met's site but it has already been removed. Google have made searching their cache difficult but I was able to extract the text of the page (but not the attached PDF of the Chair's findings).
An interesting illustration of the Met's commitment to cleaning things up — by removing items from their website as soon as possible. There is a Met press release about yesterday's sentencing but that too will only be up for a short while.
The delays in the court hearings presumably meant that from the time he was arrested and suspended from duty (I'm guessing sometime in 2021), until the misconduct hearing last December, he was being paid.
He is now on the College of Policing Barred List. As I think I've mentioned before it's not possible to link to entries on the Barred List so here's an archived version.
The suggestion that his abuse "escalated" after he joined the Police, and "no one will believe you because I am a police officer", brings to mind other cases where joining the police seems to have been a means to facilitate abuse. Obviously it would be quite wrong to assume all filth are abusers. But only because some of them are far worse than 'mere' abusers.
