Former Leicestershire Special Constable Found Guilty of Gross Misconduct, The officer resigned from their position last October after being arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children. 

A former special police constable would have been dismissed from the force had they still been serving, following a gross misconduct hearing.

The officer resigned from their position last October after being arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children. A subsequent investigation found that their actions breached the standards of professional behavior, constituting discreditable conduct.

Chief Constable Rob Nixon stated that the former officer would have been terminated immediately had they remained employed. The criminal investigation into the individual is ongoing, and no charges have been filed at this time.

Due to legal restrictions, the former officer's identity cannot be disclosed, and the hearing's outcome document remains confidential.
