Cop Sacked Over Forged CPS Document and Lies to Boss

Detective Constable Fired Without Warning

Back in November 2017, Jacobs reportedly lied to a senior manager about advice from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). To make matters worse, he allegedly forged a CPS document to back up his story.

Gross Misconduct Proven, No Second Chances
