A 'predatory' police officer has been sacked for gross misconduct following incidents of racist, sexual and inappropriate behaviour towards nine female colleagues. PC Christopher Tierney, 35, was dismissed without notice by Lancashire Constabulary at a professional misconduct hearing on Friday (May 20).
The hearing was not a criminal case. PC Tierney, who has worked as a traffic officer in recent years, sent racist, abusive and other inappropriate messages to one female officer who he had a 'toxic' relationship with, the hearing was told.
Content included racist ethnic, religious and terrorist stereotypes, emojis and written phrases, LancsLive reports. In other incidents, he behaved inappropriately to eight other female officers, by sexual or emotional behaviour or messages.
