Notice of Misconduct hearing
Date: 8 - 9 October 2026
Time: 10am
Location: Misconduct Hearings Suite, Unit A, Central Park, Northampton Road, Manchester, M40 5BP
ALLEGATIONS
When PC A made her application on-line to join GMP on September 26th 2021 she made declarations about her exam qualifications which were untrue and uploaded copies of certificates which were forged. When she was subsequently appointed as a police officer with GMP on August 22nd 2022 she had an on-going duty to correct her declaration and supporting evidence but failed to do so.
It is alleged that the conduct as outlined above amounts to a breach of the following Standards of Professional Behaviour:
- Honesty & Integrity: Police officers are honest, act with integrity and do not compromise or abuse their position
- Discreditable Conduct: Police officers behave in a manner which does not discredit the police service or undermine public confidence in it, whether on or off duty.
- Duties & Responsibilities: Police officers are diligent in the exercise of their duties and responsibilities.
The allegations are so serious that dismissal could be justified if proven and separately and jointly amount to gross misconduct.
