Former Police Officer Due to be Sentenced for Corruption
Source: Worcester News, October 12, 2022
A former Worcestershire police officer accused of corruption is set to be sentenced today (Monday) after admitting to falsifying evidence and leaking internal documents.
The 30-year-old officer, whose name has not been published, pleaded guilty to a string of charges, including misconduct in public office and unauthorized access to computer records.
The court heard how the officer, who spent four years on the beat in Worcester, fabricated intelligence reports and leaked confidential details to a third party for personal gain.
Prosecutor Simon Spence QC outlined the extent of the corruption, saying: "On numerous occasions, the officer deliberately falsified reports of crime and disorder, or concealed the true circumstances surrounding reported incidents, for reasons that were not related to the proper performance of her duties as a police officer."
The officer was stationed at Worcester Police Station for four years before her appointment was terminated in August last year.
Her sentence follows an investigation by the UK’s Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which found that her actions had "damaging consequences" for the people of Worcestershire and the police force as a whole.
SENTENCING TODAY
The courtroom is expected to be tense as the officer is prepared to face the judge.
Will she receive a tough sentence for her corrupt acts, or will the consequences be less severe?
