Merseyside police constable 'played with self' and made 'sex noises' at colleague

A Merseyside Police constable could be sacked after making "sex noises" and "playing with their genitalia" in front of colleagues.

The officer, named only as PC 3362 Baines, is accused of breaching standards of professional behaviour between August 23 and September 15, 2020, by behaving inappropriately. The officer is alleged to have "suggested they would have sex" with a colleague and making other inappropriate remarks.

PC Baines is due to face a misconduct hearing next week which could result in a finding of gross misconduct and immediate dismissal. If an independent disciplinary panel makes such a finding, PC Baines would be placed on the College of Policing's barred list, meaning he would be prohibited from holding any policing job in the UK.
