Some of the messages were considered inappropriate and flirtatious, used unprofessional language, and indicated an attempt to engage in a relationship. He further messaged the woman after she had made it clear she did not wish to receive further contact from the police, which caused her stress and anxiety.\r\n\r\nThe IOPC investigation began later that month following a complaint referral from Avon and Somerset Police. As part of our investigation, investigators analysed the work and personal phones of the officer and obtained screenshots of the messages from the victim’s phone. We considered statements from the subject officer along with a number of witnesses, including the victim and her friends.\r\n\r\nAt the conclusion of our investigation in April, we submitted a report to Avon and Somerset Police with our view that the officer should face gross misconduct proceedings.\r\n\r\nAt a police disciplinary hearing last week, led by an independent, legally qualified Chair, it was determined that the officer had breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in a number of areas including integrity, authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct. The panel imposed a sanction on Friday 24 September of a final written warning to be in place for five years.  \r\n\r\nIOPC regional director David Ford said: “Cases such as these have the real potential to impact on public confidence in the police. At the outset of their service, it is made clear to officers that it is inappropriate to have or seek personal relationships with members of the public they meet through the course of their duties.\r\n\r\n“Our investigation assessed more than 100 text and WhatsApp messages from the officer and formed the view that PC Brogan had a case to answer for gross misconduct.\r\n\r\n“The police disciplinary panel decided that the officer’s actions breached standards of professional behaviour and, as a result, have given him a final written warning.”","2021-11-23T20:58:15.000Z","https:\u002F\u002Fuk.linkedin.com\u002Fin\u002Fkenny-brogan-01446287","suspended",{"id":62,"urn_id":63,"force_id":4,"station_id":64,"position_old":65,"position_id":66,"position_abbr":67,"title":68,"first_name":69,"middle_name":12,"last_name":70,"race":12,"user_id":34,"record_id":12,"status":34,"date_of_birth":12,"dob_year":12,"dob_month":35,"dob_day":36,"image":12,"description":71,"city_id":12,"source":12,"need_correction":19,"county_id":12,"country_id":39,"website":12,"is_claimed":12,"created_at":72,"updated_at":73,"facebook":12,"twitter":12,"linkedin":12,"youtube":12,"item_average_rating":12,"collar_number":12,"phone":12,"age":12,"annual_salary":42,"email":74,"gender":75,"hired_day":12,"hired_month":12,"hired_year":12,"hired_date":12,"hourly_rate":12,"job_status":76,"compid":12,"populargoogledq":12},"256","25618","0","Police Staff","3","STAFF","Andy Marsh","Andy","Marsh","Andrew David Marsh, QPM is a senior British police officer and joined the College of Policing as Chief Executive on 20 September 2021.[2]\r\n\r\nFrom February 2016 to July 2021,[3] he was chief constable of Avon and Somerset Police, having previously been chief constable of Hampshire Constabulary.\r\n\r\nHis policing career commenced as a recruit at Avon and Somerset in 1987.[4] He later became assistant chief constable (ACC) for Wiltshire Police, then ACC for Avon and Somerset, then deputy chief constable of Hampshire.[4]","2021-12-08T08:23:44.000Z","2022-02-16T02:24:47.000Z","andy.marsh@avonandsomerset.pnn.police.uk","male","resigned",{"officers":78,"forces":79,"courts":80,"prisons":81,"hearings":82,"legals":83},769,50,85,120,41,11437,{"force":85,"currentHead":12,"formerHeads":86,"pcc":12,"hasData":87},{"id":4,"name":8,"slug":9},[],false]
