“These breaches of professional standards were so serious that the only appropriate outcome was dismissal.”
Detective Constable Tyrone Ward, former Inspector Akinwale Ajose-Adeogun and former Detective Sergent Robert Butters also faced the same misconduct hearing but the tribunal ruled they “did have a legitimate reason” for accessing the information and therefore did not breach any policing standards.
