Gul Zada former Leicestershire Police special constable has been found to have committed gross misconduct.
Following an accelerated misconduct hearing held on Friday 28 May, it was found that former Special Constable Gul Zada breached the standards of professional behaviour while serving as a special constable, namely honesty and integrity and discreditable conduct.
The hearing found that on 3 March 2020, Gul Zada was dishonest as to the information provided to an insurance company when applying for car insurance, specifically by providing a false date of birth with the intention of making a gain for himself, that being cheaper car insurance.
On 9 April 2021, Gul Zada was convicted at Leicester Magistrates Court following him making a guilty plea of fraud by false representation, contrary to sections 1 and 2 of Fraud Act 2006 in relation to the offence mentioned above.
The accelerated misconduct hearing found that had Gul Zada still been serving as a special constable, he would have been dismissed with immediate effect.
Gul Zada is a service manager for the refugee services with the British Red Cross in Leicester. He is also a interpreter.
