A number of Thames Valley Police officers have been in hot water recently after their inappropriate behaviour at work was exposed.
However, not all of them were sacked.
Here are their names and what they did wrong.
A Reading-based police officer has been spared the sack after he admitted lying to his bosses.
This came after PC Hadi Yousef tried to cover up the fabrication of a signature on a witness statement in December 2021.
Last week, the officer appeared before a Thames Valley Police misconduct panel charged with breaching the force’s behaviour standards.
At the hearing, it was explained that PC Yousef copied and pasted a witness signature onto a witness statement on December 3, 2021.
He told two senior police officers that he had done this as he had consent from the witness.
However, he only obtained said consent on December 6, 2021 -- three days after the copy and pasting of the signature.
Despite this, PC Yousef kept up the lie and again told his senior officers that he had spoken to the witness about consent prior to December 6.
But the officer’s phone was checked and it could be seen that no calls were made to the witness, exposing the lie.
A TVP panel found this behaviour amounted to gross misconduct.
PC Yousef was served with a final written warning that lasts a period of three years.
The hearing took place on Thursday, May 12.
A drunk Slough police officer asked colleagues if soiling himself would get him jailed quicker after he handed himself in for assault.
PC Luke Doyle, who quit Thames Valley Police in September 2021, was found guilty of gross misconduct at a force hearing in April.
Bosses at TVP came to the conclusion he would have been sacked had he not already resigned.
This decision was reached in relation to an incident on June 26, 2021, when the officer and his partner clashed after a party.
A quarter-of-an-hour after midnight on June 27, PC Doyle rang Thames Valley Police and reported he had committed common assault.
A second call was made to police around 90 minutes later from a person who said PC Doyle was threatening to kill himself.
Officers were deployed to find PC Doyle, and when they did, he was abusive towards them.
He asked whether if he ‘p***** or s*** himself’ would get him into custody quicker, according to the misconduct panel’s evidence.
He resigned in September 2021.
He was found guilty of gross misconduct in relation to his behaviour towards his partner, and misconduct in relation to his behaviour towards his police officer colleagues.
The misconduct panel’s report concluded: “Had the officer still be a serving officer he would have been dismissed.”
They made their decision on March 31.
A disgraced former police officer boasted his genitals were so ‘amazing’ that they ‘hypnotise women.’
The police constable resigned at a misconduct hearing after listening to this allegation and a long series of shocking allegations made against him.
A Thames Valley Police panel said PC Terry Quick would have been sacked anyway after the officer’s lewd messages to colleagues and inappropriate behaviour towards women were exposed.
His seedy conduct was carried out over the course of 2020 with a large chunk of his messages sent while on duty using work phones and email.
PC Quick was found to have:
Tried to kiss a woman on the lips while on a walk in December 20, and when she resisted, he pulled her back towards him and kissed her on the cheek
Between January 2020 and October 2020, sent 1,654 ‘personal’ messages and voice calls to five women he met on dating websites using his work phone, 443 of which were sent while on duty
In June 2020, told a female witness in a domestic incident that he was a ‘super boyfriend’ who had ‘ten girlfriends’ before striking up a relationship with her over email through to August
PC Quick’s name was placed on the College of Policing barred list, meaning he will not be able to work as an officer ever again.
Officer X
Mystery surrounds the identity of a secret Thames Valley Police officer whose behaviour amounted to gross misconduct.
In May, Thames Valley Police revealed the outcome of a misconduct hearing which took place in private on April 27, 2022.
Press and members of the public were not notified of the upcoming hearing prior to it taking place.
The officer who was the subject of the hearing was anonymised only as ‘Officer X’.
In a short statement posted on its website, Thames Valley Police said: “At a misconduct hearing on 27 April, 2022, the panel found Officer X had contravened Authority, Respect and Courtesy and Discreditable Conduct.
“Their behaviour amounted to Gross Misconduct.
“The former officer had previously resigned and had they remained a serving officer they would have been instantly dismissed.”
