A Greater Manchester Police Chief Inspector has been dismissed from the force for twice providing a promotion candidate with confidential information.
Chief Inspector Nicola Demaine's actions were found to have amounted to gross misconduct and breached the expected standards of a professional behaviour, police say. A disciplinary hearing was held at GMP's headquarters yesterday (March 29).
In addition to this Demaine, who worked in corporate services, will be added to the College of Policing Barred List. Chief Superintendent Michael Allen, head of GMP's Professional Standards Branch, said: "The integrity of all force promotion systems must hold firm to ensure GMP selects the very best people to lead its workforce at every level.
