A former Avon and Somerset Police officer was told he would have been dismissed without notice had he not already resigned following his conduct in a pub garden, during which he bragged about his sexual conquests and harassed colleagues.
During a hearing held at Police HQ and led by an independent Legally Qualified Chair the former officer, known as PS X, was found to have committed gross misconduct. He used sexual and inappropriate language during an off-duty event he attended with colleagues in a pub garden in Weston-super-Mare in July 2020.
During the event, at which he was the most senior officer present, he became intoxicated, touched another officer's hair without permission, took a photo of an officer without their consent and spoke about taking drugs in his youth.
