Former recruit Sussex Police constable ‘breached the standards of honesty and integrity’
A former recruit Sussex Police constable has been proven to have ‘breached the standards of honesty and integrity’, according to a police press release.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “A former recruit Sussex Police Constable would have been dismissed without notice, if she hadn’t resigned, following an accelerated gross misconduct hearing.
“Ex-PC Hannah Brice, who was posted to the Divisional Coaching Unit in Brighton, was proven to have breached the standards of honesty and integrity.
“She was found to have been untruthful when updating paperwork relating to a domestic incident and falsely claimed to have spoken to a victim offering safeguarding advice.
“An accelerated gross misconduct hearing on Friday (20 February) concluded she had breached professional standards amounting to gross misconduct.
“She was placed on the College of Policing barred list prohibiting her from serving as a police officer in future.”
Detective Chief Inspector Amy Cutting said: “Honesty and integrity are qualities central to being an effective police officer.
“Officers who fail to uphold such fundamental standards have no place in policing and we will take appropriate action to remove them from the service.”
