North Yorkshire Chief Constable Taking Firm Stance on Misconduct

North Yorkshire's Chief Constable says the force is taking issues of police misconduct seriously.

Lisa Winward says the North Yorkshire Force is taking part in a national trial of a new system to help them identify when serving officers have committed offences elsewhere.

A recent Freedom of information request highlighted the number of misconduct hearings carried out by the North Yorkshire Force in the last few years.

Year Misconduct Hearings Sexual Misconduct hearings Non-sexual Misconduct  Hearings
2018/2019 2 0 2
2019/2020 0 0 0
2020/2021 3 1 2
2021/2022 8 2 6

    

The Chief Constable says a number of officers have been dismissed in recent years after misconduct incidents have come to light.
