A police officer who used CS spray when arresting a 13-year-old boy has been given a written warning.
The Greater Manchester Police officer was found to have breached standards of professional behaviour at a misconduct meeting this week following a complaint from the child’s father in August 2020, a spokesman for the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.
The boy had run away from officers after he was seen involved in a suspected exchange of drugs in a park in the Moss Side area of Manchester, the investigation by the police watchdog found.
