A shamed police officer from an 'inadequate' British force was caught filming an erotic video of herself in uniform while on duty, a disciplinary panel heard. WPC Clare Ogden, 40, sent her partner the sexual clip which contained footage of her pleasuring herself and quit her job in 2021 after the allegations came to light.
She also allegedly recorded two other clips of a sexual nature of herself at Redcar police stations and when confronted about her behaviour by senior officers, she boldly claimed she was on her lunch break and was technically not on duty. A disciplinary panel was informed there was 'no excuse' for her inappropriate behaviour that could damage the public's perception of the force, the Daily Star reports.
It is not the first time Cleveland police force has come under fire in recent years as they were previously slated by the Inspectorate of Constabulary who assessed the force's effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy and deemed all inspected aspects as 'inadequate' - a first for any UK force. The unsatisfactory force were found to be failing at stopping crime and anti social behaviour, locating and arresting suspects, protecting the vulnerable, controlling corruption and appropriately treating the public and its own staff.
