Former police sergeant sacked for gross misconduct
A former police sergeant has been dismissed for gross misconduct. Devon and Cornwall Police said this week a panel found Tim Perrin had breached standards of professional behaviour relating to his reply to a notice of intended prosecution after a speeding offence in his private vehicle. After a two-day hearing, a gross misconduct panel found Mr Perrin's actions had been "deliberately misleading for personal gain representing a lack of integrity and undermining public confidence in the police service". The police said a full report from the panel chair would be submitted to the force "in due course", provided to Mr Perrin and published on the force's website.
