People across the North East rely on police officers to investigate crimes and keep law and order.
They expect them to lead by example and keep the confidence of the general public. However, in recent months, a number of cops have been sacked or punished for their behaviour.
Some officers from Northumbria Police and Durham Constabulary have lost their jobs due to their inappropriate actions. One officer had sex in a police van while on duty. Another officer was found to have been "motorboating" a woman in a nightclub.
