In a significant development, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has taken decisive action against five firearms trainers who were found guilty of gross misconduct. The NCA’s Professional Standards Unit conducted a thorough investigation into allegations that these officers had falsified records related to firearms training between December 2021 and July 2022.
The agency’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and conduct led to the dismissal of the five officers. Additionally, three other trainers chose to resign before their disciplinary panels convened. Of the remaining officers, two faced dismissals, while one received a first written warning.
