Officers Dismissed 2016-2020

Date of request: August 17, 2020
Reference: 819/20

Request

I would like to request the data held by A&S police – on the number of police officers dismissed from duty and sacked by the force – between 01/08/16 to present 17.08.20

The reason they were dismissed

Response

Please see below the yearly breakdown of officers dismissed between 01/08/16 and 17/08/20 and the reason for their dismissal.

Please note that where the outcome is recorded as ‘would have been dismissed,’ it is believed that once the investigation into their misconduct had been finalised, a misconduct hearing would have found that had they not resigned they would have been dismissed without notice.
