A newly appointed police officer has been handed a final written warning after kissing a colleague on the cheek and putting her arm around the waist of another.
PC Hayley Pegg, of Northumbria Police, was accused of subjecting four colleagues to unwanted touching. She attended a misconduct hearing at the Old Magistrates' Court in Houghton-le-Spring last month in relation to the alleged conduct.
It was alleged that her conduct breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour, in particular Discreditable Conduct and Authority, Respect and Courtesy, and amounted to Gross Misconduct.
