- Another allegation was partially upheld and deemed misconduct. [block_4]
- The third allegation was not proven.
As a result, PC Brand was given a final written warning, which will remain in place for three years.
Deputy Chief Constable Craig Dibdin commented, “Our communities rightly expect nothing but the highest standards of professional behaviour from all our officers and staff. This extends to our internal communities—our colleagues deserve to be treated with respect by their fellow officers and staff.
“PC Brand’s actions fell short of the standards we expect, and he has been held accountable for his actions. I am grateful to those who stepped forward in this case to provide evidence, and we continue to encourage our colleagues to report all behaviour and conduct that falls below the standards expected.”
In line with the Police Conduct Regulations 2020, PC Brand has a period of 10 working days to appeal the outcome.
