Former Officer A, previously attached to the Specialist Crime Command of the Metropolitan Police, faced a misconduct hearing on Thursday, 14 March, where he was found to have breached professional standards by engaging in discreditable conduct and lacking honesty and integrity.
The case stemmed from events in November 2022 when Officer A, after attending a trial at Harrow Crown Court, initiated contact with a juror. Shockingly, the juror was even observed in Officer A’s vehicle. Despite being questioned under caution, Officer A denied any interaction with the juror. However, subsequent analysis of phone records revealed messages and calls exchanged between them.
