Two police officers with Devon and Cornwall s road safety team have been sacked after taking a seized vehicle for a high-speed ride. PC Shaun Pearce and PC Daniel Pike have been dismissed without notice from Devon and Cornwall Police, after members of the misconduct panel found that their actions amounted to gross misconduct. The pair faced allegations that in 2019 they breached the standards appropriate to the conduct of a police officer in respect of honesty, integrity, authority, respect, courtesy, duties and responsibilities, and discreditable conduct. The public hearing took place following allegations of misconduct whilst the officers were on duty in the ‘No Excuses’ road safety team.
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.
