Dorset Police officer failed to stop ‘sexualised conversation’

A public misconduct hearing held at Dorset Police’s headquarters in Winfrith, which finished on Friday, found there was insufficient evidence to prove that the officer actively engaged in the conversation.

The officer cannot be named because of a decision made by the panel’s independent chairperson.

Mr Lyne said: “This officer failed in his duty to challenge and stop those engaged in the conversation and the outcome of the panel reflects the seriousness of this.

“We know the vast majority of employees within the organisation are professional and do not demonstrate behaviour that has been heard in this hearing.

“Unfortunately, the actions of colleagues that day did not meet these high standards.”

He said Dorset Police was committed to investigating any “unethical or unacceptable behaviour relating to a member of our organisation”, adding: “I would encourage members of the public to report them to the force so they can be thoroughly investigated.”
