Police officer sacked for years of racist and 'predatory' behaviour

A police officer has been dismissed for gross misconduct linked to incidents of racist, sexual, predatory and inappropriate behaviour towards nine female officers over a number of years.

PC Christopher Tierney, 35, was dismissed without notice at a Lancashire Constabulary professional misconduct hearing in Ormskirk on Friday, May 20. The hearing, not a criminal case, heard how Tierney had sent racist, abusive and other inappropriate messages to one female officer in particular who he had a "toxic" relationship with.

Content included racist ethnic, religious and terrorist stereotypes, emojis and written phrases. The traffic officer also behaved inappropriately to eight other female officers.
