A FORMER Dyfed Powys Police special police officer has been barred from ever re-entering the police force after sending text messages to a teenager on the same night he’d interviewed her for breaching coronavirus restrictions.
Special Police Sergeant (SPS) Jack Brennan issued a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) to a 19-year-old woman – referred to as Ms A – on June 4 last year for breaching Covid-19 restrictions. A Dyfed Powys Police misconduct hearing panel heard earlier this week that 24-year-old Mr Brennan was on duty with other officers in Carmarthen on the evening in question and they came across a group of cars parked near a gym. Mr Brennan and a colleague spoke to two females in one of the cars and, after talking to Ms A for around 30 minutes, he issued her with an FPN.
