A GMP officer had inappropriate relationships with two women he met while on duty and pursued at least four more. When PC Simon Beech was arrested, he told two of the women not to speak to police or investigators from a watchdog.
Now a disciplinary panel has ruled he would have been dismissed without notice if he had not already resigned. A two-day hearing organised by the force found the officer abused his position for a sexual purpose.
After an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), an independently chaired panel found gross misconduct proven against former PC Beech, who was based in Stretford Police Station.
