PW faced an allegation before a Misconduct Panel (the Panel) in July 2011 that he had breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in 10 specific respects. In summary they were as follows: engaging in inappropriate and sexist text and email exchanges with his friend RM (including sending him a picture of a female work colleague and, on a separate occasion, sending him a text message that read ‘I’m here. Just waiting for the women to come and open up. I might rape her as there’s no one else here’), using his work email address to post inappropriate comments on a website, engaging in regular contact with RM who at the time was on bail for criminal matters (sexual activity with 14 year old), accessing a Niche record which related to the RM’s case and subsequently engaging in an email exchange with another officer regarding the case, and using his position as a police officer to gain membership of an angling club.
